Beautiful Mourning Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Beautiful Mourning lyrics by Machine Head

This track is about a time in every man's life, where we all have a breakdown, either nervous or psychological. On the brink of despair, constantly holding a razor to your wrists, whether metaphorically or literally. It tackles a deep internal conflict when one grapples with their darker impulses and the desire to escape from the pain that accompanies them; Death may feel like the easier solution, freeing us from the pain of life.
