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”
Why now
Forever down
Blind to the admonitions
It cannot be
Our own decree
Sent to destroy our sympathy
Kill
My
Self sense of direction
It cannot be
Our final plea
An act of vengeance takes over me
The end has come for the enemy
Infested
Arrested chaotic heart of dismay
The plague has come to eradicate me
The minds thought to bring about a fray
It's over your head
Afflicted and torn this fate storms ahead
The buried truth revealed in the red
Forged in blood
Exploiting fear
Obtaining more power
A cycle damned and corrupted
Forged in our blood
Why now
Forever bound
Ignore the admonitions
The end will come for the enemy
Infested
Arrest our dying sympathy
Forever down
Blind to the admonitions
It cannot be
Our own decree
Sent to destroy our sympathy
Kill
My
Self sense of direction
It cannot be
Our final plea
An act of vengeance takes over me
The end has come for the enemy
Infested
Arrested chaotic heart of dismay
The plague has come to eradicate me
The minds thought to bring about a fray
It's over your head
Afflicted and torn this fate storms ahead
The buried truth revealed in the red
Forged in blood
Exploiting fear
Obtaining more power
A cycle damned and corrupted
Forged in our blood
Why now
Forever bound
Ignore the admonitions
The end will come for the enemy
Infested
Arrest our dying sympathy
