Epitaph Lyrics
Every now and then he'll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly now lets go
Take a closer look and you'll say
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
For anyone who's passing near
It names the person lying here as you
And you...and you...and you...
A man reaching his final moments reflects about his life. he wanted to remember his joyful memories one last time but no matter how hard he tried only the painful ones are coming in. He remembered them so vividly that he realize that he was full of regrets. but it was too late for regret so he decided to let go.
even though we are aware that our time will come, we are taking life for granted and soon we will find ourselves in a similar situation. so remember him, learn from him. search what is truly important to you, as the day will come that we will leave everything behind.
This song is about the epitaph each one of us will face - When all the dreams of the future no longer matter and weve passed the point from our life ahead of us to nothing left but our life behind us .. "He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday" ... as im at that age i find the lyrics incredibly insightful for being written by a young mr tipton early in his career
bast priest song ever
best* :D
Ok. The song starts of with a man who sees others with unfulfilled dreams, he thinks he is different and he knows he will accomplish his dreams. Yet at the end of the song he believes that we all will suffer the same fate death, a death that left behind all his lost dreams. It also tells that after death there is no life. Sad song really, NOTHING is as heavy as this.
Because at the end of this song he dies aswell.
a song about broken dreams
song about a man who gave up on his dreams
