In Greek mythology, the river Lethe is the personification of oblivion. Drinking from the river causes one to forget all of one’s experiences on Earth.
The song title is thus refers to putting one’s past behind. It is an allusion to suicide and a failed relationship of one kind or another.
Lethean Lyrics
How long is the pattern going to speak for you?
How far can your voice reach?
Your song below the night
From my view, I can see you shudder where you are standing
In the vision, cyan blue
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now, October
This time you won't be needing me
[Chorus]
To run along the freeway
To weigh one's heart against the oncoming dark
You left me with the pills
We had plans but you couldn't make it
Through the trees, what took you so long?
The high grass, what took you so long?
[Verse 2]
Translate the fire, the venom's rush inside your heart
How long can winter colour your every word?
And the skyline past the houses and the cities
Hyperopia, carmine red
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now, this river
This time I will
[Chorus]
To run along the freeway
To weigh one's heart against the oncoming dark
You left me with the pills
We had plans but you couldn't make it
Through the trees, what took you so long?
The high grass, what took you so long?
