Analysis of It’s Complicated (Eulogy to Good Feelings)
To the prayers who mourn
and to the mourners who pray
To the seekers of faith
as to believe, warmth bring it may
To the souls of whom sworn,
an anguish of grief with ceaseless wraith
Here forth in this unholy grave
Lies the spirit of your salvation
To the lovers who dreamed
and to the dreamers who loved
To the cosmic pairing
as toys the void the fair beloved
To the sole swan, by time, seamed,
an ache of lost mesmeric sharing
Here forth in this sterile grave
Lies the body of your gestation
To the good memories
And to memories of good
To the aether of life
as a ghost encased in soft wood
To the shared old stories
an amusement of cuddles and strife
Here forth in this forgotten grave
Lies the mind of your foundation
Even when darkness raises a wall
(This snake of hope with fangs of fear)
Light shall always scorch with white
(This dove that dazzles with hearts resilience)
Sorry that the fire blazed not the dark,
But charred Faith, Love, those Memories...
And all is lost in ashes of sorrow,
And all is drowned in my silent tears
They won't come back, I won't climb up
Death, this closed door, it's complicated
