10 Years

Wasteland

Change my attempt good intentions

Crouched over
You were not there
Living in fear
Signs were not really that scarce
Obvious tears
I will not hide you through this
I want you to help
Please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt
Die, withdraw
Hide in cold swear
Quivering lips
Ignore remorse
Naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red

Change my attempt good intentions
Should i, could i
Here we are with your obsession
Should i, could i

Crowned hopeless
The article read living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red
but i will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help

Chorus

Heave the silver hollow sliver
Piercing through another vctim
Turn and tremble be judgemental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually you'll one day know

Change my attempt good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self inflicted his perdition
Should i, could i
Change my attempt good intentions
Should i, could i
Should i, could i

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
