Atmosphere Lyrics

Walk in silence
Don't walk away - in silence
Danger - always danger
Endless talking of life rebuilding
Don't walk away - in silence
Don't walk away - in silence

Walk in silence
Don't walk away - in silence
Your illusion - my confusion
And in the mask of self-hate
Confronts itself and then dies
Don't walk away - in silence

People like you, have it easy
Face like the sun - walking on air
Haunted by your face, every street, every corner
Abandoned too soon
Don't walk away - in silence
Don't walk away - in silence

Cover art for Atmosphere lyrics by Codeine

This song talks about suicide. But not from the perspective of the one who does it, it\'s from those close to them, who live it.\n\n\'Don\'t walk away - in silence\nDanger - always danger\nEndless talking of life rebuilding\'.-\n\nHere he describes the sufferer who has not yet come to terms with what has happened while fearing that someone else will do the same. questioning everything.\n\n\'Your illusion - my confusion\nAnd in the mask of self-hate\nConfronts itself and then dies\'.-\n\nIt is nothing more than the guilt of not having done something before.\n\n\'People like you, have it easy\nFace like the sun - walking on air\nHaunted by your face, every street, every corner.-\n\nFor me, this is the deepest and most sadly beautiful part of the song. Knowing that the other person is now in a better place "walking on air" the fact, what he did, continues and will continue to haunt those close to him.\n\nConcluding, although the meaning is evident. Of all the songs that talk about suicide, this is the only one I\'ve heard that talks about how those close to the person who made a decision of that magnitude feel. In the industry, much is said about the before or the moment, but very little about the after.\n\nIn my personal life I have experienced the suicide of a close person, nobody really expects something like this, there are usually no signs, and if there are, they are so tiny that when you realize it, it is too late. I write this crying, it comforts me to know that there is also a song that talks about us. Those who until the last moment of their lives will have to live with the weight of having suffered a loss, one like that.
