This song is about the elderly and how we cast them aside once they become to old to be of use. The title is a reference to the fact that once this human being was a strong person, now they are old and beginning to die.
all that's left are my memories
these pictures of unworried days
but no one's there to save my legacy
it will just perish, fade with me
no one awaits me, nothing diverts me
this withered body is no empty shell
a dying ember
there is my god to carry me
but in this world, I needed you
These lines show how this person has been abandoned. They can remember a better time when they were younger. They believe in God, but their children no longer care. This person is not dead, yet they are abandoned.
nothing to live for
nothing to fight for
and emptiness fills my days
all my hope, a dying ember
just promise me to hold my hand
This shows how the person is near death and they only wanted their children to be there during the last time of their life. The elderly person simply did not want to be alone. Their hope for life is fading.
