The sun sets over life as an illustration of mourning. The tables are mixed as the stages of the process: denial, anger, negotiation, pain ... then finally acceptance.
lyrics
Here I am, six feet under
Upside down, digging further
Spending another day in the dark
Yet I try
To make it right
It’s hard to find, some comfort now
And now that the sun is down
I’m trying to catch the lights
I’m still broken inside, but that’s what I do to stay alive
Searching for a path of joy is harder than anything
But I’ll face my fears, escape from lies
Oh, what the hell am I waiting for?
I must look up and live
Get back to the point where you were there and you would hold me tight
Those days are already gone, and now I must stand still
(Sun is down, sun is down) Now it’s time to rise
(Sun is down, sun is down) I’ll stand up and fight
(Sun is down, sun is down) Now it’s time to rise
(Sun is down, sun is down) Four, three, two…
The pain is too real, my body’s twisting hard
My soul is bleeding, I am falling apart
And you from where you are, you stand and laugh at me
I’m waiting for the day I will come and scream
Yeah I will scream at you
Listen to me
Where have you gone?
Cause I am all alone, isolated
Don’t mock me cause you know I will find you eventually…
Here I am, riding up
Found a sign, a tiny dust
Here’s the day
When I’ve caught the light...
