After Lyrics

I can’t take anymore
I can’t breathe
I’m sick of this goddamn darkness,
Sick of sadness and tears I throw it all up every single day
Together with last night’s dinner

I have lost myself completely
I have convinced myself I am someone else

For God’s sake,
I need to be real
I need touch
I need… people?

I have to turn my life around…

But… I will still be myself, won’t I…?

It seems like he's become sick of living the life he lives and being the person he is. He's lost his real self and now wants rise from his knees and stand tall again. He wants to rediscover his own soul, so that he can be himself once more.

Is he singing in Polish or something? I can't make out a single word of the chanting.

I think that Mariusz uses his voice as an instrument, although he may be chanting in Polish, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't actually saying anything, he just sings noises quite often, that's one of the reasons I love his vocals so much, he does this particularly well on the Indukti album.

The lyrics are whispired in the beginning before the chanting starts, very quietly

I hear the intro to Rush’s 2112, Prelude, at the beginning of this amazing song. Has anyone ever matched up the notes?

@juliethegardener Definitely Agree! Not sure if it's a coincidence but it's a extremely close resemblance...
