Death With Dignity - Sufjan Stevens
(Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Spirit of my silence, I can hear you
But I’m afraid to be near you
And I don’t know where to begin
And I don’t know where to begin

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the desert, there’s a forest
And an acre before us
But I don’t know where to begin
But I don’t know where to begin
Again, I've lost my strength completely, oh be near me
Tired, old mare with the wind in your hair

[Verse 3]
Amethyst and flowers on the table (On the table), is it real or a fable? (Is it real or a fable?)
Well, I suppose a friend is a friend
And we all know how this will end

[Verse 4]
Chimney swift that finds me, be my keeper (Be my keeper)
Silhouette of the cedar (Silhouette of the cedar)
What is that song you sing for the dead?
What is that song you sing for the dead?
I see the signal searchlight strike me in the window of my room
Well, I got nothing to prove
Well, I got nothing to prove

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 5]
I forgive you, mother, I can hear you (I can hear you)
And I long to be near you (And I long to be near you)
But every road leads to an end
Yes, every road leads to an end
Your apparition passes through me in the willows
Five red hens – you’ll never see us again
You’ll never see us again

For my Mom who left me in10/28/19 I hope to see you again.Because you are a candle in the wind 🌬️

[Rosie]

You were like a star because you were so bright but now you’re like a star because you’re so distant

[lornameatte]

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I love this with my whole being. Thank you.

I recently started listening to Sufjan Stevens again after hearing a song by him I used to listen to all the time in 2022 and I have to say, he's one of the most beautiful souls out there when it comes to artists. His songs always mean so much to me and never fail when it comes to making me feel things deep in my soul.

If you'd like to understand the song better I made an explanation of the lyrics and meaning, mostly for English learners but also for any Sufjan fans. Happy listening!

[Wellsinho]

I literally just heard this for the first time after doing a search for sad songs. Wow. This is beautiful.

[JustAvery]

I've come here from Lynn Painter's one of the book's playlist and I just realized that I know this song from somewhere. The awesome adventures of captain spirit (a game from life is strange game serie) Memories come back 🥲🥲

[AngelSanchez-ilov]

Quizás llegar lejos no sea lo más fácil o eso veamos, pero la experiencia de la vida siempre es un sabor agrío, un sabor un poco amargo pero tener alguien que le dé ese toque de dulzura lo cambia todo... ojalá supieras cuanto te extraño, oír tu voz, tu risa, estar solo a tu lado sintiendo tu calor.

Ohhhh, it’s “an acre before us” right that makes more sense

[LaciaisXHype]

I still have my mom but I'm worried that she's going to leave early because she's been stressed a lot and I'm trying to find a way to make her happy as possible I know that she's going to leave one day but I don't want her to die sad I want her to at least to live a good life with no stress
