Leaves Burned To Ashes

Serenity In Murder's song 'Leaves Burned To Ashes' delves deep into the themes of loss, despair, and the relentless passage of time. The imagery of the sky dyed in madder red and leaves burned to ashes sets a somber tone, symbolizing the end of something beautiful and the onset of decay. This visual metaphor extends to the emotional state of the narrator, who feels their heart has also burned to ashes, indicating a profound sense of loss and emptiness.

The lyrics reflect a struggle with emotional numbness and the passage of time, as the narrator laments losing their sense of feeling and purpose. The recurring mention of the 'disappearing Sun' and the heart 'dyed in madder red' suggests a lingering pain and a sense of alienation that never fades. The memories that 'screw me up' highlight the torment of being trapped in the past, unable to move forward or find solace.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and abandonment, with lines like 'She has gone away and no one gonna care about my worst life' and 'I'm all alone.' This sense of being forsaken amplifies the narrator's despair, making it clear that their sadness is an unending cycle. The repetition of phrases like 'The sadness will never end' and 'A sense of alienation' underscores the perpetual nature of their suffering, painting a bleak picture of a life overshadowed by past traumas and unhealed wounds.
