Nothing Left To Say Lyrics
I remember the endless longing
that called inside of me
from fountains of expression
trying to break free.
Nothing left to say
when the walls give way.
Still I can faintly recall
the subtle purity
of youthful inspiration
and insecurity.
Nothing left to say
when the child finds his way.
Pride and the drive that started the dream
turned in time to an endless obsession.
Caught in a vicious circle of compulsion.
Desires bind the truth to secrecy
but behind the aspirations I see
a life devoted to blind ambition
and a mortal man searching for eternity.
Behind the desires
and the wall that gave way
there's a forgotten cause
consumed by the day.
Behind the ambitions
of a child who found his way
there's a cold realization
that our deeds die with the day.
And behind the disguise
of a man with a cause
there's a child screaming
with nothing left to say.
Paralyzed by inhibitions
and indecisions.
What was once a release
is now a prison.
that called inside of me
from fountains of expression
trying to break free.
when the walls give way.
the subtle purity
of youthful inspiration
and insecurity.
when the child finds his way.
turned in time to an endless obsession.
Caught in a vicious circle of compulsion.
but behind the aspirations I see
a life devoted to blind ambition
and a mortal man searching for eternity.
and the wall that gave way
there's a forgotten cause
consumed by the day.
of a child who found his way
there's a cold realization
that our deeds die with the day.
And behind the disguise
of a man with a cause
there's a child screaming
with nothing left to say.
and indecisions.
What was once a release
is now a prison.

What an amazing song by an amazing band.
"Paralyzed by inhibitions and indecisions. What was once a release is now a prison."
What an extremely powerful verse in an already powerful song. This verse especially hit me because when I was working free time was the greatest thing I cherished every minute of it and when I was unemployed for a long time it was just pure hell having so much time to do nothing with.
I always thought this song was about writers block. The intense guitar riffs in the opening followed by a down tempo song about the inability to write.
