Lament Lyrics

I can't be further away from endless life
Oh my god stars flash before my eyes
I'm slowly fading into my memories
So slowly fading tonight's the last you'll ever see
So slowly dreaming the last time
Oh my god so many people leaving me behind
Oh my god remember all those things you tried to hide
So slowly fading tonight's the last you'll ever see
So slowly dreaming the last time
Slowly fading I know you're slowly dreaming

It's about watching loved ones die. I love this song, it's so quiet but it's a djent metal song so it just snaps at you top wake up at certin parts but then lulls you to sleep.

^ Take that back 100%. It's about watching yourself die

In my opinion, this song is about death.

"I can't be further away from endless life"

  • Pretty self-explanatory. The author realizes that life is approaching it's end - they are about to die.

"Oh my god stars flash before my eyes"

  • The author sees stars flashing. Perhaps they are experiencing some out-of-body thing while fading off towards death. Maybe even transcending into actual space, as some picture the act of death.

"I'm slowly fading into my memories"

  • The author drifts further and further into their memories. As many people believe that this is what happens when you die - all your life flashes before your eyes.

"So slowly fading tonight's the last you'll ever see"

  • Again, self-explanatory - Tonight is the last night you'll ever see. Maybe this is relating to the "stars flash before my eyes". Perhaps the author is watching the night-sky on his very last night alive.

"So slowly dreaming the last time"

  • The author is slowly sinking into his very last sleep.

"Oh my god so many people leaving me behind"

  • The author dies and every1 else keeps living - they are living him behind.

"Oh my god remember all those things you tried to hide"

  • I'm actually not sure about this line. Perhaps while dying, the author is being revealed all the things he or some other person has tried to hide.

On a personal note, this was the first song that got me into Tesseract, and I immediately fell in love with them. So mystical and deep, yet groovy and heavy and fat in sound, like no other band. I was going through some life crisis and personal transformation while I discovered this song, and it helped me transcend everything and become a better version of myself. Pure meditative song!
