The Crown Of Leaving

Lacrimas Profundere's 'The Crown Of Leaving' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of sorrow, acceptance, and the bittersweet nature of farewells. The song delves into the emotional complexity of leaving behind pain and grief, symbolized through evocative imagery and metaphors. The opening lines, 'And so we take the gift of crying / And bask in the fire of past,' suggest a cathartic release, where tears are seen as a gift and the past is a consuming fire that one must confront to move forward.

The lyrics continue to weave a tapestry of contrasts, such as 'The kiss of life the kiss of death,' highlighting the duality of existence and the fine line between joy and sorrow. This duality is further emphasized in the lines 'Embrace the stigma of the voice,' suggesting that accepting one's pain and scars is a crucial part of the healing process. The song's chorus, 'And now it's the triumph of leaving / Let all your tears behind,' serves as a powerful declaration of liberation from past sorrows, urging the listener to embrace a new beginning.

In the final stanza, 'Leave it all in serenades / The only real love is between your grace,' the song suggests that true love and peace come from within, and that one must look beyond the gates of their own mind to find solace. The imagery of 'Black is blue and haze is haze' reinforces the idea that perceptions can change, and what once seemed dark can transform into something more bearable. 'The Crown Of Leaving' is a poignant reminder that while farewells are painful, they also hold the promise of new beginnings and personal growth.
