Final Destination
With All Sincerity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upon meeting you i saw
The light burn black
And for that one moment i knew loss
This is the bitter taste of death
And this is not the first time
I thought i would die
And this is not the last time
The first time i died
The first time i cried
And in the end i wish i had
The final wave, wave good-bye
To all the things you love
Becasue you never know
When they are going to
Be taken away
And like that they just disappear
The bitter taste of death

When they meet someone new, they see the light burn black, symbolizing that the pain of the loss is ever-present and coloring their perception of the world.
The lyrics go on to explore the universal nature of death and loss, as the singer admits that they have faced such emotions before and will likely face them again. The "bitter taste of death" is described as a moment of realization that comes without warning or preparation, leaving one feeling disoriented and raw. Through lines like "And in the end I wish I had the final wave, wave goodbye to all the things you love," the singer expresses regret and a longing to have said a proper goodbye.
