[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Deserted again, you speak to me through the shadows
Walking in closed rooms, using cold words
The yearning escapes from my embrace
[Verse 2]
Strange silhouettes whisper your thoughts
Scream your sadness
And they all turned away
Unable to face more of this death
[Verse 3]
Written in dust, tainted by memories
I confess my hope
Recognize my loneliness
[Verse 4]
Your laughter weeps the truth
Push me into the corner
Confirming the epitaph of my soul
And displaying the once unknown karma
[Instrumental Outro]
Writing something in dust suggests that it is fragile and temporary. Despite the weight he gives his own words, they cannot last, much like his memories and connection to the living.
I think in this context credence means that he believes fully what he is saying. “Credence in my word” would suggest that his own word is weighted with the meaning he is imbuing it with, giving it its own kind of power.
The name of the following song on My Arms, Your Hearse.
His Lover left him alone after he tried to kill her.
He sees her shadows walking in closed rooms,talking by cold words after what she saw in that night.
He Lost interest in her.
Everyone is moving on from him, and he is coming to terms with that, as he has no other options.
