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”
How long can this go on
The tragic loss of life by the hands of our own questions
Keep coming
The answers seem so far
And now I'm loosing my faith
Can't you see the end is near
I try to keep some kind of hope
That someday we shall overcome this self destructive way of life
Can we be freed from the hate
It lies within our reach to rise from these graves weve laid
To create another way
We must somehow
The time has come right now before losing whats left
Were in the final days
I try to keep some kind of hope
That one day we shall overcome this self-destructive way of life
Can we be free from all the hate
Or do we choose to remain in these graves weve laid
Can't you see the end is near
The tragic loss of life by the hands of our own questions
Keep coming
The answers seem so far
And now I'm loosing my faith
Can't you see the end is near
I try to keep some kind of hope
That someday we shall overcome this self destructive way of life
Can we be freed from the hate
It lies within our reach to rise from these graves weve laid
To create another way
We must somehow
The time has come right now before losing whats left
Were in the final days
I try to keep some kind of hope
That one day we shall overcome this self-destructive way of life
Can we be free from all the hate
Or do we choose to remain in these graves weve laid
Can't you see the end is near
