Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lonely, I've been holding on to you
Slowly, I′ve become my worst enemy
Lonely, I've been holding on to you so desperately
Please don't forget me, I′ll never be a memory
Stars burning out as you sing
My elegy
Lie still with me, I′m ascending in time
Still thinking 'bout the times we had
Lost feeling in my heart rifting inside
Just drifting towards a greater path
Aligning your enzymes
In hopes that they′ll transcribе
If only I could ride the wave that crashеd
Upon the shore that night
We swore we both would fight
It's hard to find the light and get that back
Slowly, I′ve become my worst enemy
(A ghost of what you had)
Lonely, I've been holding on to you
Slowly, I′ve become my worst enemy
Lonely, I've been holding on to you so desperately
Please don't forget me, I′ll never be a memory
Stars burning out as you sing
My elegy
Slowly, I′ve become my worst enemy
(A ghost of what you had)
Lonely, I've been holding on to you
The lyrics of demxntia's song "Elegy" describe the emotional pain that comes with losing someone close. The first line, "Slowly, I've become my worst enemy," could be interpreted as the singer blaming themselves for the loss. They feel alone and helpless, holding on to the memories of the person they loved. The line "Please don't forget me, I'll never be a memory" shows the singer's fear of being forgotten and left behind.
The chorus repeats the lines "Slowly, I've become my worst enemy" and "Lonely, I've been holding on to you" driving home the sense of isolation and guilt that the singer is feeling. The phrase "Stars burning out as you sing my elegy" is a metaphor for the fading memories of the lost loved one as they continue to hold on to the past.
The second verse speaks to the longing for connection and understanding, with the lines "Aligning your enzymes in hopes that they'll transcribe." The singer wishes they could understand their loved one better and connect with them on a deeper level. However, they struggle to find their way back to the light and reconcile with the past.
Overall, "Elegy" is a poignant song about the pain and isolation that comes with losing someone close, and the struggle to move forward while still holding on to memories of the past.

My elegy
My song of mourning and remembrance
Lie still with me, I′m ascending in time
Stay with me as time passes and I move on to the next phase of life
Still thinking 'bout the times we had
Reflecting on the moments we shared together in the past
Lost feeling in my heart rifting inside
Feeling a sense of emptiness as my emotions drift and pull me apart inside
Just drifting towards a greater path
Moving forward aimlessly, but with the hope of finding a new path in life
Aligning your enzymes
Working to bring the various parts of yourself together and find balance
In hopes that they′ll transcribe
Hoping that by doing so, you will be able to better understand and express yourself
If only I could ride the wave that crashed
Wishing that you could go back to a moment when everything was good and stay there forever
Upon the shore that night
Remembering a specific moment in the past when everything seemed perfect
We swore we both would fight
Promising to always be there for each other and fight for the relationship
It's hard to find the light and get that back
Struggling to find a way to bring back the happiness and positivity that once existed
