MorMor’s lyrics explore:
- the search for meaning in chaos,
- the illusion of salvation,
- the struggle with fate,
- the pain of alienation,
- and the acceptance of impermanence.
### Mortality & Transience
The lyric “I watched the ashes blow away” directly invokes images of decay, loss, and the scattering of what once had form. Ashes serve as a universal symbol of impermanence — a reminder that all structures, whether physical, emotional, or existential, eventually disintegrate.
- Heraclitus (Flux):
Heraclitus held that all things are in a state of constant change (panta rhei — “everything flows”). The ashes drifting away embody this principle: nothing is fixed, and permanence is an illusion. Even what seems solid is always on the way to becoming something else. - Buddhist Thought (Anicca):
Buddhism emphasizes anicca, the impermanence of all phenomena. To cling to what is transient leads to suffering (dukkha). The ashes, dispersed by the wind, serve as a meditation on letting go — a recognition that attachment to the ephemeral world is futile. - Heidegger (Being-toward-death):
Heidegger interprets mortality not just as the biological end of life but as the existential horizon that gives life authenticity. Watching the ashes blow away confronts us with finitude: everything we are and build can dissolve. Yet, for Heidegger, acknowledging this finitude is what allows us to live authentically, fully aware of our temporality.
