"I felt a funeral in my brain, and mourners to and fro"
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, people can feel very sad or confused inside their minds, almost like there is a funeral happening in their thoughts. Imagine thinking about something sad over and over, like people walking back and forth at a funeral. This can make your mind feel heavy and exhausted. For example, if you have lost a loved one or failed at something important, you might find it hard to stop thinking about it, making your mind feel like it's stuck in a dark place. To help with this, try talking to a friend, writing down your feelings, or doing something you enjoy. This can help clear your mind and make you feel better.
