I see that the only qualified option would be... RE-VAMPING... don't let something great die with something great. Keep it alive with thoughts and actions and never let that thing/person be forgotten. I'm sure we do things everyday... like... saying... "lalala" which... probably was started by some person who is dead now. And its not like they're really dead... because we still say "lalala" all of the time... even if there is no name to it. Don't be sad... keep the dream alive!

Why hasn't anyone commented on this song!? It is so great! I won't let it die!

Scarlet is such a suductive discriptive word... even though in this case its a name.

I think you're right that it's about a "legacy" living on after a person has died, but I haven't really looked too much into these lyrics.

The vocals on this song are gorgeous. Really beautiful.

I think it's about a sunset going away. When the sun is almost completely set it's scarlet. Also he says
"For a minute I stayed watching this brilliant display
Until a god with a broom came and swept them away"
which i think explains itself. He's making Scarlet and Grey to be conscious entities to.
