about

Thanatos is another word for death.

This song is somewhat of a reminder to me of someone whom I loved dearly.
Her name was, Susie Stone.
She had died in accident a while back.
I wished to have said many things to her before she had passed.
Where it left me feeling guilty.

I wrote this about divine intervention, after being in an accident that could've truly costed my life.
But in a moment of self reflection, in pain, as I would stare out to the sky as day broke, while my body lay limp, in bloody mess on the concrete that I ended up on.
I had a wisp figure of someone whom I felt adamantly of Susie's spirit.

I ended up okay. But that memory of that specific moment made me feel she was there to protect me, so the same fate wouldn't happen to me either.

Ever since, I wrote this song about the feeling of what she may have gone through in my own words of a "near-death experience."

=====================================================

lyrics

Blood spreads through the crevasse of concrete
Repressed within the mind as time negates the flux of strife
Vanity now crippled, you bloom robust
sheer anguish like pandora’s box with little to no hope
You lament as tears stream from your eyes
fear not, adorn the endless skies as transient birds fly
The pigment of the sun’s bright white allure
illuminates a path, nirvana humming, “O’ at last!"

It’s too late, too late
to think about it
accepting death is grim as fate

Mercy beckons to a street pedestrian
paranoia consumes his helpless mind, wondering, “oh god will she be alright?”
solid tear spotlight soliloquy
endearing words, a whisper of love, there’s no tomorrow or another day
visions full of pastures of never-ending green
may flourish in this enchanting dream, as eyes grow weary from death it seems
The pigment of the sun’s bright white allure
illuminates a path, nirvana humming, “O’ It’s-

too late, too late
to think about it
accepting death is grim as fate

She said, “Move on with life and go on without me.”
