Of a certain city in the sea
As I walk the valley of unrest
Behind this mask of crimson death
I long for a loss of breath
And a most dire predicament
Murders in the rue morgue
Silence and shadow's what I adore
I can’t explain just how it feels
The thought of my premature burial
Inside this oblong box I lie
With the hopes I’ll be buried alive
The oval portrait upon the wall
Will someday cause this house to fall
The power of words left unsaid
As I join the spirits of the dead
I can't explain just how it feels
The thought of my premature burial
Inside this oblong box I lie
With the hopes I’ll be buried alive
Well, I’m the man who's used up
Washed up
Bricked up
Descent into maelstrom
Bedlam
Redrum
Bet the devil my head
Misled
Bloodshed
Heart under the floorboards
Beats for
Lenore
Nevermore
I can’t explain just how it feels
The thought of my premature burial
Inside this oblong box I lie
With the hopes I’ll be buried alive
Analysis:
This is one of those more obscure songs that I know...... honestly, it's one of the most saddening songs ever. I mean, the line that goes throughout the song "With the hopes I'll be buried alive" I mean, this is something someone that is suicidal want to do. I mean, the line "The thought of my premature burial, Inside this oblong box I lie, With hopes I'll be buried alive". If I didn't know anything about it, I would say that it's completely innocent. But I know that it's not an innocent thing at all. It's all too real and a horror that all of us face that are friends or in relationships with those that are suicidal.
I forever dream within a dream
Of a certain city in the sea
As I walk the valley of unrest
Behind this mask of crimson death
In this verse, it's a vague description of what they envision and the lines: "As I walk the valley of unrest, Behind this mask of crimson death" is basically like the hell they experience and the "crimson death" part is like the death by loss of blood. It, in my mind is a horrible way to pass on and it's something that I personally don't want to experience until it's my time to pass on to the great plains of heaven (or to some, the afterlife in the belief of the Egyptians).

This verse is basically like a deeper description of what is wanted by those types of people. They rather be in the spirit world wandering among those that are still living to haunt them for the rest of the living's existence until they die. And even when they were living, they were staying in the shadows regardless, writing dark and depressing entries in their journals. In my mind, they hate life to the point where they don't care if they live or die.

I already kind of described this in the first entry before the verse analysis. Due to this song being playing the melody that it does, it kind of reminds me of the "emo song" and "insanity". Honestly, I hope a very special guy doesn't hear "Insanity" because it might tip him off to successfully kill himself. I have been trying to keep him alive long enough to get him back home. Every time I hear songs like this, I worry....... I worry too much......

This one reminds me of something that dark magic would do if they had the magic to do it. I mean, some may think that there is such thing as dark magic and such but, it's all within somebody's head and it's all. But there were some weird situations where the unexplainable things that could be classified as "black" or "dark" magic. There is a blurry line between both of them and it's hard to put the correct classification on the scenario.

These four verses are part of what he feels inside. The first verse is basically the person is unable to go on anymore and just used to their limits like the lyrics suggests in the verse: "Well, I'm the man who's used up" "Washed up" "Bricked up" kind of thing. The second verse, I'm confused on what it's all about because words in the second to the last lines of each verse. So....... what can I say about the last two verses? Nothing that I can think of at the moment. That's right fellas, nothing. Which is odd..... usually I could think of something on the spot either by listening to the song or looking over the lyrics again. Which is odd because, let's face it, I'm on a analysis block at this point in the song.
This song kind of is how I feel sometimes because I feel like I want to die but this song is one of the few songs that make me think otherwise. Love all of you that read my blog on a regular basis. If it wasn't for you all, I wouldn't be able to be confident that I can have these lyrics seen every day. I greatly appreciate
Until next time music fans,
