Cover art for Headless, Sleeping Soundly lyrics by Love Lost But Not Forgotten

I think the first line, and maybe the whole song, is a reference to Shawshank Redemption.

"Drag a chair across the floor. Scratch your name into the wood above my door. " this refers to the scene when Brooks carves "Brooks was here" in the rafter and then hangs himself from it.

"You really gave it your all, but you're finished here. You are finished here!" this could refer to the letter that Brooks sends to the prisoners he left behind. The letter says that he is "leaving" the home he has been sent to.
