Kiss For The Dead Lyrics
Wishing you could see the light
Growing fear and sadness there
Can you tell its your final sight
Tubes and wires keep you here
Not alive and yet not dead
No feelings
While the prayers have been said
All the love thats been bled
Its just a kiss for the dead
A lifeless body with its frozen stare
People cry and pray for you to waken
All this pain you cannot bear
Wishing someone would pull the plug
All you do is shed a tear
No feelings
Could cleanse this chaos from my mind
In a world of constant dreams
Lifeless body, frozen stare
It's a different kind of sleep
No feelings
No feelings
The song portrays a grave and depressing perspective of a man who is paralyzed and trapped in a lifeless body, stuck between life and death. It depicts the sense of helplessness and longing to be released from the suffering he feels. Despite the prayers and love shown to the protagonist, it is a futile gesture as they are trapped in their own mind, wide awake and conscious of their surroundings, yet unable to express or experience any emotions. People cry and pray for their awakening, while the protagonist wishes for someone to end their suffering by pulling the plug that keeps them living. Paralyzed and on life support with little chance of recovering is a living hell that people fear as a fate worse than death. At least you're dead and gone, and not made a prisoner in your own body, unable to even end your life.
the numb hurt worse then the ones full of emotions. they always do.
