I don't know what it means. But I wanted to share what it means to me
I lost the love of my life, my soulmate, 5 months ago. He died suddenly and unexpectedly during the night sleeping beside me. He was 26 and we've been together since the start of highschool
To me, this song explains a lot of what I am feeling. I am the type to put on a smiley face for everyone, and deal with my grief in my own privacy, in the home we shared
"Drifting in and out
You see the road you're on"
This is what it feels like. I drift in and out of reality, I know it's denial but it's comfortable there. It's easier to think he is just away on business and he'll be home soon. But I drift in and out of that and often I realize the lonely road I am on and future I face
"Help me to name it"
I don't know what label to put on myself. I wasn't married, even though we were together for 12 years. I'm not technically a widow. I don't want to be anyway. But I don't know what to name it..
"If you built yourself a myth
You’d know just what to give
What comes after this
Momentary bliss, the consequence
Of what you do to me"
This brings me to the loneliness part. I've thought about moving on, meeting someone else, so that I don't have to be lonely anymore, a companion and someone to love me. Then I worry about the guilt, regret. Would it feel like I was cheating on my fiance? So if I build myself a myth, what comes after the momentary bliss? The consequence of what it would do to me?
"Found yourself in a new direction"
"Can't keep hanging on
To what is dead and gone
If you built yourself a myth
You'd know just what to give
Materialize
Or let the ashes fly"
I suppose I can't keep hanging on to what is dead and gone. I have his ashes in our house and have agonized about what I should do. I don't know whether to keep him home with me forever, or let his ashes fly.
Anyway, that's just what the song means to me

it's pretty sad to read this. you are too young, just move on, something good will happen, let his ashes fly away, start a new life, be happy again, it's no easy but you'll make it ;)

As much as I know akito_on means well, at the end of the day do what you need to do to grieve. I have lost close people to me, and in my experience the grieving process is different for each person. It is too easy to suggest just get over it and move on. When you lose someone close, it shakes up your world forever.

I pray and hope the best for you. I hope through it all you can make your boyfriend proud of the person you will become. Good luck and God bless.

@Mila2012 I felt compelled to reply to this. I really hope since some years have passed since you wrote this that you are doing better and have found some semblance of peace with what has happened. I lost my partner 1 1/2 years ago. We were together for 3 years, so I cannot imagine the pain you must have went through after 12 years with him.

@Mila2012 Wow your comment hit my heart. My father passed away two weeks ago, also unexpected during sleep. I found him in the morning in his bed and I still don´t know why this happened, but it did. He was 47 and I loved him so so much and I always will. Thank you so much for sharing what this song means to you. If someone you love that much gets taken from you out of nowhere, the pain is unreal and sometimes I just feel nothing. Like you wrote you drift in and out of reality. The world you...

The world you believed in, the life you trusted is torn apart. I look at my future and I know this is never gonna be the same without my dad. But everytime I listen to this song, my tears come flowing and I can let the pain out and I feel like my dad is listenig with me. And he always smiles, like to remind me that there is good and there will be good and I trust him.
So thank you for sharing, I hope you are doing well.

@Mila2012 - I came across your thoughts when I was searching for meaning of this lovely poem called ‘Myth’ by Beach House. Thank you for sharing about your loss. I know it hurts. I know because unfortunately it’s still there for me. I Lil something about me. I was divorced for 3 years; after 20 years of marriage to my wife. I was in a happy place in my life when I met the most beautiful spirited woman of my life. We started dating and things moved so quickly. She was divorced as well; and we seemed to know how...

I know because unfortunately it’s still there for me. I Lil something about me. I was divorced for 3 years; after 20 years of marriage to my wife. I was in a happy place in my life when I met the most beautiful spirited woman of my life. We started dating and things moved so quickly. She was divorced as well; and we seemed to know how to treat each other. With so much love and respect; she introduced to her entire circle of friends and family. I’ve never felt so loved and welcomed. Our intimacy, our love was so full and overflowing with passion for each other.... my heart, my entire soul was full. I felt like a powerful man that could conquer the world. She was beautiful in EVERY WAY; but, just as quickly as our “love” sprouted; it died. She was promoted to an extremely high position at her job; top level executives (I’m speculating here) probably convinced her that my ‘grocery worker’ status was below her rank... she vaguely uttered these words. It was piercing to my heart. We continued dating shortly after the start of her career when she cold heartedly told me to “Stop trying to contact me”... it was crushing, and I was in denial. It’s hard because I was when I left my marriage of 20+ years I was able to recover from my heart break within 6 months (approximately); but, when my ‘dream girl’ called it off only after 5 months of dating; my heart HAS NOT STOPPED HURTING; it’s been 5 years and 4 months since I last touched her... why is that?? I “build myself a MYTH” thinking to myself that one day she’ll actually call me, or text me... I’m able to function my daily life and all; but, my heart, my chest hurts sooo much inside from my thoughts of her... I can still see her, I can still feel her, taste her... the aroma of her sensuality lingers and it kills me inside. Sometimes it’s laughable; of why it still hurts. I know how you feel.
e> And when they ask us
are we happy inside
we're a rollercoaster
and YEAH, we're fire in the night
What can you say?
all your YEAHS
it's your life
do YOU right
give them love
All your yeahs
what can you say?
all your yeahs
it's your life
do YOU right
give them love
and give them away

Hi Mila, something that I wanted to say yesterday, but quite frankly I was affected by what you had written. I’m writing a book at the moment, and having read your words, I knew that I had the ending. Your words, your grief, your openness to express how you feel, has really touched me. I wonder if you might consider reading what I’ve written, as a result of what I read of your words?
