Monument
World Below Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun won't shine
The wind cries out my name
Least I think it's mine
Rain will soon come down
Wash away the tears
So pure and so fresh
Soon it all will be gone
We achieved our goals tenfold
Soon it all will be gone
No more life, no more nothing
I want to go down slow
I want to die today
I want to go down slow
And everybody has to come with me
Soon it all will be gone
We achieved our goals tenfold
Soon it all will be gone
No more life, no more nothing
A day to end it all
All the evil and lies
Soon it all will be gone
We achieved our goals tenfold
Soon it all will be gone
No more life, no more nothing
I want to go down slow
I want to die today
I want to go down slow
And everybody has to come with me
Shattered little fragments
Broken down pieces of life
Glue it all together
Split it with a knife
Our minds have failed us many times
Seeing things that is not from this world
Dying is easy, surviving's hard
Every little creep will fight for i
T The race of life never ends
In the end everybody falls
Down
Our minds have failed us many times
Seeing things that is not from this world
Hearing things that chills your blood
Hope we can stay sane on this path so cold
It's a cloudy day
The sun won't shine
The wind cries out my name
Least I think it's mine
Welcome to the life beyond
Beyond reality
Nice to see you again
Wonderful duality
You carry my carcass through the storm
Trough icy waters and trough the snow
Heading for home in the valley below
There we can rest, there we can sleep
Lonely souls in a world so shiny white
Blinded by the light, clouded by the black
The lyrics of "Monument" by World Below seem to be discussing the idea of the end of the world, and the singer's acceptance of it. The opening lines describe a cloudy day with no sun, punctuated by the wind seemingly calling out the singer's name. This tone of gloominess and a sense of foreboding continue through the next few lines, with a reference to rain washing away tears, which may be interpreted as symbolizing the end of everything.
The next section of the song seems to focus on the singer's desire for death - they want to go down slow and want everyone to come with them. The lyrics then repeat the idea of everything being gone soon, with a sense that this was the result of some past achievement.
The final lines of the song speak of shattered fragments of life, broken pieces, and failed minds. The singer tries to make a plea for sanity in the face of what sounds like a depressing and chaotic existence. The song ends with the singer describing the afterlife as a "wonderful duality," perhaps indicating that something new and positive may come after the end of the world as they know it.

It's a cloudy day
The atmosphere is dull and desolate
The sun won't shine
There's no hope for the future
The wind cries out my name
The poet is feeling lost and isolated
Least I think it's mine
Or may be it's just imagination
Rain will soon come down
The poet is expecting the worst
Wash away the tears
Wipe away the pain
So pure and so fresh
A new beginning
Nothing like my fears
Something different than what I feared
Soon it all will be gone
Life is transitory
We achieved our goals tenfold
We accomplished what we set out to achieve
No more life, no more nothing
Everything is going to end soon
I want to go down slow
A peaceful and slow death is desired
I want to die today
Death is preferable to this existence
And everybody has to come with me
We're all in this together
A day to end it all
The final day of reckoning
All the evil and lies
All the wrongs to be made right
Shattered little fragments
Life in pieces
Broken down pieces of life
Fragments of existence
Glue it all together
Make sense of the chaos
Split it with a knife
Cut out what's not needed
Our minds have failed us many times
Our mental state is not stable
Seeing things that is not from this world
Hallucinations are common
Dying is easy, surviving's hard
Living is a struggle
Every little creep will fight for i
Life is a battle for survival
The race of life never ends
Life goes on and on
In the end everybody falls
We all meet the same fate
Welcome to the life beyond
Life after death
Beyond reality
More than we can comprehend
Nice to see you again
Reunited with the departed
Wonderful duality
Two sides to every story
You carry my carcass through the storm
A loyal companion in hard times
Trough icy waters and trough the snow
Enduring the harshest conditions
Heading for home in the valley below
There's a place for us to rest
There we can rest, there we can sleep
A peaceful rest after the struggles of life
Lonely souls in a world so shiny white
Isolated in a bright illusion
Blinded by the light, clouded by the black
Confused by the contradictions of life

I've turned this on to fall asleep to every night for a few nights because his speech pattern is so calming lol. I wake up at some point, decide the story is bananas, then go back to sleep.
