I felt a Funeral, in my Brain Lyrics

I felt a funeral, in my brain
And mourners to and fro
Treading, treading till it seemed
That sense was breaking through

And when we all were seated
A service, like a drum
Beating, beating till I thought
My mind was going numb
My mind was growing

And then I heard them lift a box
And creak across my soul
With the same boots of lead again
Then space, space began to toll

As all the heavens were a bell
And being, but an ear
And I and silence, some strange race
Wrecked, solitary, here

And then a plank in reason, broke
And I dropped down and down
And hit a world, at every plunge
And finished knowing then
And finished knowing

And then I heard them lift a box
And creak across my soul
With the same boots of lead again
Then space, space began to toll

I felt a funeral, in my brain
And mourners to and fro
Treading, treading till it seemed
That sense was breaking through

What is the Meaning of I felt a Funeral, in my Brain?

Ever felt like your mind is spiraling into chaos? This haunting song captures the sensation of a mental breakdown, using the metaphor of a funeral to depict the slow, relentless march towards losing one's sanity. The mourners and their "boots of lead" symbolize heavy, oppressive thoughts that tread back and forth in your mind. As the song progresses, it feels like you're sinking deeper into an abyss, with reason slipping away until all that's left is a profound sense of isolation and confusion. It's a powerful portrayal of internal struggle and the fragility of the human psyche. #MentalHealth #InnerTurmoil #Isolation
