Okay so this is the most peronal song on this EP. I got the idea
from the black box of an airplane, when the plane goes down the
black box is recovered and it survives and you only really check
them if the plane crashes or something as far as I know. So this
song is about moving on and letting go and dealing with such things.
as metaphorical as I'm trying to be, I have a literal black box that
I have put things from my past in and they just sit there out of
sight, out of mind. The past helps shape you into to who you are now
so might as well not forget it, just leave it behind. Take the best
of it and be the best you can be, learn from it, move on. This song
isn't about anything specific in terms of my past. Just a general
feelings kind of thing. Also this song I had the absolute hardest
time recording by myself. So enjoy it.
lyrics
Is that all you have to say?
All old things must pass away?
From ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
let it be, let it rust.
But there's some things that have grown
a part of me I can't let go
I'll pack it up and put it away
In a black box for another day
I'm alive... Not dead yet...
Dying... But not dead yet...
My Black box has plenty of room
Plenty of space to add things to
Put it in and shut the lid
Open it up when I'm dead
My past seems to not let go of me
I'll cut it off let it be
I'll move past, but won't start again
I'm gonna see this life to the end
I'm alive... Not dead yet...
Dying... But not dead yet...
I'm not dead I'm surely alive,
this box doesn't open until I die,
if you want it to.
Only if you want it to.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
let it be, let it rust away now.
Rust away.
I'm not dead I'm surely alive,
this box doesn't open until I die,
if you want it to.
Only if you want it to.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
let it be, let it rust away now.
Rust away.
I know I'm dying but for now I'm alive
I'll live it I will try for now.
