My Last Breath Lyrics

Oh my god this is so sad. This is my worst fear and for someone merely 21 (maybe she is 22 now) to actually visiualize this or perhaps she experienced it with the lost of a loved one, it takes a lot of courage.

But this is one of the biggest reasons why I want to progress spiritually. To have the knowledge that there is more to this life and a person does not just "fade to black." That they have moved on and someday I'll be able to celebrate eternity with them.

Perhaps Amy, and of course, Ben Moody for he has a big role in bringing this music to life to ironically give you the feeling of death, are trying to convey how much emotion and love will remain within the departing soul from their experiences with their lover.

It would make me feel so much better if all the love and effort I gave to someone to make both of us truly happy together (and of course vice versa), would not just dissipate. And that is where I happily can say that I'm glad I learned science. Because to know that matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed, I do believe emotions do not simply disappear.

The thing that I see that makes this song so powerful is how the roles are switched. As in "I'll miss the winter A world of fragile things" The departing lover knows that he/she will be in a safe place. A place where pain and suffering is no longer felt. Yet it is the one left alive that is truly dying, for that person is the one desperately listening and crying those tears to be tasted.

Once again the lyrics and music forge a truly powerful song, for the one that suffers is not the one who dies, but the people around them.
