Melanie Martinez lyrics plus the meanings (PORTALS)

~DEATH~

Hi
------------------------------------------------------------------
The meaning or theme idk:

The theme of the song revolves around the idea that even though one's physical body may die, their spirit and essence continue to live on. This concept is conveyed through Lilith's statement that Empaths never truly die, and that their spirits are passed on to new bodies. The lyrics of the song, "My body has died but I'm still alive," further emphasize this theme by suggesting that even though 's physical form may have perished, her soul and consciousness persist. The song's theme is not one of finality or despair, but rather one of resilience and endurance in the face of mortality.

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Death is life, is death, is life, is death, is life, is

[Verse 1]
They're carving my name in the grave again
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
My body has died but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead

[Verse 2]
Lighting all your candles to draw me in
Saying all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plane
The other side, I'm not far

[Pre-Chorus]
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it

I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on my cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time

[Chorus]
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Back), back from the dead (Back)
I'm back from the dead (Back), back from the dead (Back)
I'm back from the dead (Back), back from the dead (Back)
I'm back from the dead (Back), back from the (I'm back)

[Post-Chorus]
Death, death, death
Death, death
(I'm back)

[Verse 3]
They're saying my name in their prayers again
I flicker the lights so they understand
I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends

[Verse 4]
Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in
Burning all your sage to connect our line
I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
I try to talk, the barriers are too strong

[Pre-Chorus]
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it, you're always on my mind
I cannot help it

I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on my cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time

[Chorus]
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead

[Outro]
Please, don't ever worry (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead, I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
I know it's morbid (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
But we all die one day (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the- (I'm back)
