why comment on a song you dont even like? 'depressing' songs have just as much musical importance as noel gallagher singing about his ballsack. different people like different music.

Katatonia – Dead Letters Lyrics

13 years ago

I agree, I definitely hear the Tool influence in this song, particularly the opening riff. As far as the meaning of this song goes however, I'm a little confused. Typically with this genre of music there's alot of symbolism and cryptic content with the lyrics. The chorus for me stands out as I can't help but think of the lyrics literally. Phrases like ''This life before me, its blood runs so still'' could refer to him in the process of murdering another person (life lying there before him). That's what I assume him to mean anyway. Later on in the song also, with lines such as ''confined in escape on burnt grass, lier in wait for the ending'', suggests he has a victim laying there waiting to be killed. I could be wrong but thats what it provokes in my mind anyway. It may be about a dream he had where he murdered another person. hence the ''my dreams are getting darker and darker'' line. Thats my thoughts anyway.
