This song is about wanting to say goodbye, it comes from a point of view that deals with depression and suicidal tendencies. To be clear, it is dark, but I'm fine and this has little to nothing to do with how I am.
lyrics
Well the sun streaks morning skies
And all the windows fly open
Pierce our smile with sunny yellow
Tend to fires in our minds
I guess I breath to past the time
As people seem to think they’re fine
Fill my head like swollen bellows
Kindle embers left inside
I’m gone like fading embers
Like cold novembers
Like anything that no one remembers
x2
I wander a path I left behind
I never thought that I’d be back
Black cold thoughts bring me back home
Damned in moonlight is when I’ll go
When the sun comes I’ll be gone
Please understand that I never meant to be wrong
My flame went out so long ago
I’m ash in the hearth, I’m on my way home
I’m gone like fading embers
Like cold novembers
Like anything that no one remembers
x2
Just turn out the lights
And maybe you’ll see me clearly
I know it’s not right
But promise me you'll forgive me
