Converging In The Quiet Lyrics
I discern a subtle stream
Converging in the quiet
Just behind the silence
My mind has slipped inside it
I can feel a past being fed me
A second hand
Future’s misled me
Second hand futures misled me
I feel a fate being fed me
To devour my memories
In a single sitting
Teems the only means
The only means befitting
A reunion with my beloved
A reunion with the sun
A reunion with the stars
A reunion with the sun
Though I know
Endless dawn awaits
Still I rotate at the gate
To watch my life escape
Never turning as it runs
My reunion with the sun
Never turning as it runs
I discern a subtle stream
Converging in the quiet
Just behind the silence
My mind has slipped inside it
Converging in the quiet
Just behind the silence
I can feel a past being fed me
A second hand
Future’s misled me
Second hand futures misled me
I feel a fate being fed me
In a single sitting
Teems the only means
The only means befitting
A reunion with the sun
A reunion with the stars
A reunion with the sun
Endless dawn awaits
Still I rotate at the gate
To watch my life escape
Never turning as it runs
My reunion with the sun
Never turning as it runs
Converging in the quiet
Just behind the silence
My mind has slipped inside it

First of all, all songs are poetry set to music. The only measure is the quality.

And I would say the lyrics are about death in a Dylan Thomas sort of way where we might replace rage with longing. Nostalgia for life even with the possibility of something after, always looking back despite what is leaving you never returning the look, even the fact that this song was redone as Departure all point to this conclusion.
