This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
And so you left us
Jaded and gaunt, some September
Wilted with the seasons
But hidden inside the delusion
I saw you eyes, somewhere
Devoid of death
The aura poises amidst (the storm)
In solid tears I linger
A parlor glade, moonlit sorrow
Lonely resting pools
Relics of the moon-dogged lake
Whisper: "All your words are misgiven"
Am I like them?
Those who mourn and turn away
Those who would give anything
To see you again
If only for another second
Your face was, like the photograph
Painted white
We did not speak very often about it
What does it matter now?
Cloak of autumn shroud
I gaze, dim ricochet of stars
I reckon it is time for me to leave
You sleep in the light
Yet the night and the silent water
Still so dark
Jaded and gaunt, some September
Wilted with the seasons
But hidden inside the delusion
I saw you eyes, somewhere
Devoid of death
The aura poises amidst (the storm)
In solid tears I linger
A parlor glade, moonlit sorrow
Lonely resting pools
Relics of the moon-dogged lake
Whisper: "All your words are misgiven"
Am I like them?
Those who mourn and turn away
Those who would give anything
To see you again
If only for another second
Your face was, like the photograph
Painted white
We did not speak very often about it
What does it matter now?
Cloak of autumn shroud
I gaze, dim ricochet of stars
I reckon it is time for me to leave
You sleep in the light
Yet the night and the silent water
Still so dark

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Not necessarily, It could be the "death" of a relationship that meant alot to the narrator, when i hear it, it reminds me of how your memory fades, and peoples images change, sadness overtakes and you start asking why.. or what if. There are 2 sides to this song though, the lyrics, and the guitars. most of this song the guitars are in harmony.... and ill tell u now, when u play along with em on the guitar, or even just listen carefully, there is as much if not more emotion in the guitar than the lyrics themselves, i believe its the lyrics that help to define a "verbal" landscape of what the song as a whole is tryin to achieve
@Opethfan19m I think I agree with this evaluation, I do think it is definitely up for personal interpretation. Morningrise seemed to be more focused on instrumentals than on vocals, although it does definitely have some good lyrical writing.
This song is about the death of Mikael Akerfeldt's grandfather.
"And so you left us..."
His Grandfather dies, and his Soul leaves. He is dead, and the people who cared about him (Mikael Akerfeldt, and, Family) will never see him again.
"...Some September..."
This may mean that his Grandfather died in September. I can't really figure out the "...Jaded and Gaunt..." lyrics, though.
"...Wilted with the seasons..."
Months, Seasons, and maybe even Years pass by after the loss of Mikael's grandfather.
"...But hidden inside the delusion I saw your eyes, somewhere..."
As the Days pass, Mikael starts to heal from the loss of his Grandfather, but he still remembers him.
"...In solid tears I linger..."
Self explanitory.
The rest, I really, can't interpret, but the rest of the lyrics are most definetly still about the loss of Mikael's Grandfather.
Yeah, it's about visiting his grandfather's grave, I believe. And about his sorrow over the grandfather's death.
I have to say, this song is the greatest tribute he could give to a dead relative. It's amazing. Ha, if only people wrote such great songs about me!
This is about Mikael's grandfather, that is completely true.
8:36-10:30 kicks my ass every time.
Mikael said this song is about his grandfather.
Interesting..
This is the song where Opeth reached their peak. 11 minutes of beauty.

About seeing somebody - a relative? - at their funeral. I'm pretty sure he's standing by a lake he used to visit with this person, who is possibly his father or grandfather, and remembering the person's death and their funeral, which happened when the narrator was still a child.
