- Ashes LyricsAcross the eerie waters
Misty covered glass I spied
A sad procession sneaking down
The dry and deathly trail
And as my telescopic eye
Focused on the marching line
It settled on the fallen crown
Now covered with a veil
The heavy weight of mourning
Drew each head to face the ground
Muscles tight on bearers arms
Each body cold and frail
And through the muslin mist
The beating drums the only sound
Twenty boats out in the bay
All ready to set sail
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
My bones soaked in the icy cold
And fixed me where I lay
Until each vessel left the shore
And made a line for me
There never was a breeze
The leaves were silent all that day
They say the sails were ghosts
That stole the wind to set them free
I lay transfixed
Felt nothing but the beating of my fear
As flames rose up and swallowed whole
The greatest of the fleet
The others circled round
And I heard chanting fill the air
The ashes, lifted high
Were falling back into the sea
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
Misty covered glass I spied
A sad procession sneaking down
The dry and deathly trail
And as my telescopic eye
Focused on the marching line
It settled on the fallen crown
Now covered with a veil
The heavy weight of mourning
Drew each head to face the ground
Muscles tight on bearers arms
Each body cold and frail
And through the muslin mist
The beating drums the only sound
Twenty boats out in the bay
All ready to set sail
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
My bones soaked in the icy cold
Until each vessel left the shore
And made a line for me
There never was a breeze
The leaves were silent all that day
They say the sails were ghosts
That stole the wind to set them free
I lay transfixed
Felt nothing but the beating of my fear
As flames rose up and swallowed whole
The greatest of the fleet
The others circled round
And I heard chanting fill the air
The ashes, lifted high
Were falling back into the sea
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst

✔️
When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, the song “Ashes” by Above & Beyond featuring Oceanlab is a venture through the themes of loss and nature's renewal with metaphorical vividness of funeral procession and earth and water as life's and death's cycle. The lyrics of Ashes mainly talk about the darker side of life: despair, angst, heartbreak, solitude, and contemplation. But on a deeper level, the song is an acknowledgment of mourning and loss, death and transition, solitude and fear. The lyrics convey death, mourning, and a gloomy atmosphere, which could make young listeners feel uncomfortable. The mix of ashes, water, and the ocean, along with the mention of fire and a haunted place, leads to a theme that is adult-oriented and potentially strong. Even though there is no curse words, no violence, and no sex, the kind of tone and subject matter generally associated with a PG-13 rating, this rating is just to let parents know that the themes in the story might be sensitive and mature.
