The Pendulous Fall Lyrics

Cover art for The Pendulous Fall lyrics by Kamelot

First verse to me does sound like someone considering taking their life, but they're not totally gone. "& you wonder where the rainbow ends", I'd consider could have reference to looking at the joys in their life & where they may lead to, even though they seem so far away.

The chorus to me sounds like a another person, or companion thought not of his own suggesting "There's a way from it all" "Won't you think it over?", showing them no matter how far you believe you're gone, there's a way back, you'll get where you're considering going eventually.

"life is a pendulous fall, but maybe worth the pain" Life, you'll never know where it's going, but it has some pleasure you won't find elsewhere.

"Like a mother you were aimed, And you gave her what she claimed" This bit I couldn't say I've got a clear thought on, like a mother you were aimed... could refer to how a mother knows how it's right do, & to them there is no other way (Mum's decision will always be what they see is best for the child), then "and you gave her what she claimed" sounds a little off, as in you say to yourself that you let them have something, even though you know that they took it without consideration. Then "Just like a good old friend, in the abyss of the mind, you found all there is to find". If you give something your all, only to have to run you down & leave you bruised & confused, your mind isn't going to be kind to you & self-doubt is a natural course.

These are just my random thoughts after looking over the lyrics, nothing more, nothing less. :-) Beautiful song though.
