Description

Lyrics

This music is about the thoughts of a person in his deathbed, whose heart is about to stop beating. Anticipating that there is only little while left before the light gets flipped out, he makes an attempt to recall the memories of his life involving the ones he has knew and loved. I composed the music in different phases following his feelings prior to his death, which I am describing below. Rainfall, and a feebly beating heart of a man in his deathbed. A blank mind far away from the mundane world, awaiting the eternal silence to come. Then a sudden spark of a sweet memory ignites his senses and urges him to recall. He attempts to unravel the memories from the deepest corners of his mind, including the ones he had known and loved; and slowly the sweet nectar keeps flowing in. Being immersed in the ocean of his memories, he hopes he can live for a little longer. But when the time comes, no matter how hard we try, we succumb to the forces of nature. He feels a sudden excruciating pain in his chest. His brain slowly shuts down. The castle of memories that he had built in his mind crumbles. The mind goes blank. Sound of rainfall fading away; and a feebly beating heart, slowing down, and down. Lights out.
