Foliage

Embers of a love thought lost burns
Deep inside hollow husk
Remind yourself it′s always there
Reasons unknown I care for
All you've lost all you′ll find
In this beautiful life

You are living here
Take my hand, nothing to fear
You walk your own path
No one's fault, just you to blame
You're not to blame
We are the same

Embers of love thought lost
Embers of love thought lost
Kinder the fire, this moss
Winter is here, I′m gone

What if it was all my fault?
Take your pain, take it off
Your flesh my bone
My weakness God knows that
I wanna live so long
My rapture is to come
Keep me here
Please my dear
My dear...

Overall Meaning

The song "Exalted" by Lilith is Gone talks about the burning embers of a love that is thought to have been lost but still persists deep inside. The singer reminds themselves that despite not knowing the reasons why they still care, they are living a beautiful life and there's nothing to fear if they take someone's hand. The lyrics emphasize that everyone is walking their own path and that no one is at fault for it. The singer is unsure of their role in the relationship and wonders if everything was their fault. They want to take on the pain of the other person and have them close to them. The song ends with a plea to keep the singer close and for their rapture to come.

The lyrics of "Exalted" are open to interpretation but one can understand them to be about dealing with the end of a relationship, the feeling of detachment from oneself, and the desire to hold on to something from the past. The words, "We are the same," could be interpreted as the singer realizing that everyone goes through difficult times, and that it is a universal experience that they are not alone in. The mention of foliage and winter gives the sense of a changing season, perhaps indicating the singer's transition into a new chapter of their life.
