| Riverside – Left Out Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
A man who has been through a major traumatic event, whether emotional or physical, has had the joy of life drained of him and now is being forced to deal with an encounter with a loved one. The first verse describes his current state; "Huddled in the corner", not wanting to draw any attention to himself. It works, people keep on passing him by. The second verse shows that things have not always been this way. He used to be happy, he had that spark in his eyes. Now, after what have transpired he no longer feels a part of humanity. He keeps going about how things could've been better. If only... At the end he steps out of his dream, facing reality, promising himself to change things around. I get the sense that he's not actually saying these words, rather screams them in his thought. He's still the same. This is a song I've been relating to very strongly these past year... |
