Name: Vanishing Light
Duration: P00H03M20S
Description: Vanishing Light is an affirmation of sadness, acknowledging the sense of futility that is often felt at life's lows and brushing the idea of death as an absolute. However, instead of being paralyzed by grief, the song instead embraces it as the counterpart of joy and also presents it to the listener—in addition to song's narrator—as something tremendously beautiful.

lyrics

Came to from a dream / right into another one
I cannot believe / life's so beautiful yet brief
Swear you could just cry / salty tears of joy
Misquoting poetry / I bid my best Irish goodbye

Losing what little is left of lucidity
I'm convinced I had before

For are we really in control at all
Or just floating along in a line
Towards some false idea of fulfillment
Then the veil falls and darkness comes flooding in

Losing what little is left of lucidity
I'm convinced I had before

Back into that dream / directly from the other one
I cannot be seen / face to face with such beauty
Swear you could just cry / scream and shut your eyes
While no one's noticing / I'll bid my last Irish goodbye
