The Ballad

I'm sure some of the lyrics are incorrect, but I tried my best.

Anyway, I think the band members said they wrote this song in support of a friend.

The lyrics of this song, to me, sound like they were written like an "intervention" for an some kind of addict.

It's a beautiful song and I can't stop listening to it.

The song means this to me:

"Although this is hard for me to say It's breaking my heart, but hear anyway This is the part where we embrace Come out of the dark and into the day"

A relationship is at it's peak of ending, and the person that is mostly the quiet one in the relationship needs to speak out before it's too late

"This is the part when everybody says they love you so You know I love you so And all I want is to reach out and give a hand to hold It isn't hard, you know How many times you think the world's thrown you for a roll It happens to us all Don't turn away, you've got to break out and give your all This is the part you know"

Normally it'd be the one that's suffering is the first to say i love you, So they make it known first,and they want them to know they're there for them when times get rough Since we've all seen hard times, not to let this time get the best of you and realize giving up isn't the answer, but to keep pushing, like they've done to them in the past.

"Although this is hard for us to say It's worth your while, so listen anyway This isn't hard, don't turn away Come out of the dark This is your need"

Even though times are rough right now, things will get better You won't be alone, so don't give up. Open your eyes and realize you need to look at what's in front of you And that you're supported by the ones that love you

"(???) (See, it's all the journey)?? (???) (See, it's all the journey)??

You're not alone You're not alone You're not alone You're not alone"

Life's a journey, its gonna have its narrow paths, that's life. But know that you're not alone on that journey.

The love of my life actually showed me this song when I was depressed from the hardships life's thrown at us.We're both depressed, but I wanted to give up because being away from him just hurt too much..and i felt he didn't love me because it seemed like I could never see him any chance I got. He's not much of a talker period, but when he does, he's able to do it through music...the one thing that bonds us so close to each other.Especially techno, so emotional as this song is. We're able to reach each other's hearts through the music...

its a personal meaning to me.
