Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Funeral Song” by The Rasmus
The song ‘Funeral Song’ by The Rasmus, released in 2003, is a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic rock ballad. The lyrics convey deep sadness and pain, as the singer reminisces about a shallow love that is now lost forever. The confession of regret for a lost opportunity, and the sheer agony of loneliness, resonates in every line of the song. Likewise, each chord in the song is a sad reminder of a different intensity of sorrow, as if the singer is mourning a part of himself that lingers, despite it all being over. The song takes us through an emotional journey, making us feel the pain of loss and heartache. Ultimately the song speaks to a sense of finality and acceptance – that there is no going back and that life goes on, in spite of the tragedy and that it is up to us to press forward and learn from our experiences.
