Extinction
WTayllor & B.Rollers & Aurelion Sol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I strap my laces tight this time
Migraines creep up from last night
Migraines creep up from last night
Where will they be
When the sun comes round
Where will they all be
When the moon comes crashin down
Abandoned I stare at street signs
Migraines creep up from last night
Migraines creep up from last night
Where will they be
When the sun comes round
Where will they all be
When the moon comes crashin down
A bed of stones calls my name
The cemetery gates seem so plain
A bed of stones calls my name
The cemetery gates seem so plain
The lyrics to 'Extinction' by WTayllor & B.Rollers & Aurelion Sol, convey a mood of despair and isolation, with the singer expressing a sense of disconnection and disorientation in the world around them. The opening lines, "When the morning comes I'll try, I strap my laces tight this time," suggest an attempt at resolution, but the following line quickly dispels any feelings of optimism: "Migraines creep up from last night."
The repeated refrain of "Where will they be, when the sun comes round, where will they all be, when the moon comes crashin down" underscores the sense of uncertainty and confusion in the singer's mind, as they contemplate the transience and impermanence of all things, including their own life. The verses that follow describe a feeling of abandonment and loneliness, as the singer looks for solace in street signs, and contemplates the possibility of death at a young age ("A bed of stones calls my name").
The bridge of the song repeats the mournful refrain, "Where will they be," before moving into the final verse, which vividly describes the singer's fascination with the cemetery gates and the morbid allure of death. The final line, "The cemetery gates seem so plain," suggests a sense of resignation and acceptance, as if the singer has come to terms with the inevitability of death and is ready to embrace it.
Overall, 'Extinction' is a haunting and evocative song that captures a sense of existential angst and despair, with a beautifully melancholic melody and poignant lyrics.
