Sorry, but you should re-read that comment if you want to accuse it.

> Akin to the article's title, the pain of this elusive quest is a melancholic symphony, a mournful reminder of the vibrant life that once was, and the silent void that has come to be.

This says that there is a melancholic symphony, which is about - and reminds of - the descend of vibrant life into a silent void. Which is an apt description of the death of a beautiful ecosystem like the corals.

Fair, but even in that statement its just weird to mix imagery involving music and silence unless they are being juxtaposed.

And, it opens with:

> In the ethereal melody of a once thriving reef

So which is it, something akin to music, albeit weird/poignant/sad/ethereal music, or is it a void?
