Retrogradation Lyrics
fitful nightmare crying out loud
screaming without making a sound
up so high afraid to look down
never to return to the ground
knowing you are trapped in a lie
at the very core of your life
something that you cannot deny
wanting but not willing to try
empty shell with nothing to show
floating free with nowhere to go
how long will it take you to know
that now you are truly alone
shattered fragment no longer whole
tattered remnant scrap of your soul
lost and helpless creature so blind
looking at your life with closed eyes
retrogradation the slow decline
retrogradation end of the line
retrogradation cold as the night
retrogradation out goes the light
screaming without making a sound
up so high afraid to look down
never to return to the ground
knowing you are trapped in a lie
at the very core of your life
something that you cannot deny
wanting but not willing to try
floating free with nowhere to go
how long will it take you to know
that now you are truly alone
shattered fragment no longer whole
tattered remnant scrap of your soul
lost and helpless creature so blind
looking at your life with closed eyes
retrogradation end of the line
retrogradation cold as the night
retrogradation out goes the light

I dont know why, but I really like this song. I like the way it sounds. I dont really know what the songs about exactly though. When I'm listening to it, I get pictures in my mind like drifting through the air, a kind of ethereal feeling, I can space out when I'm listening to this stuff. I like this song.
I liked the music to this song, and then I looked up the lyrics... they could have been written about me. It's about being alone, hurt, depressed, detached, dehumanized, thinking about suicide. I've been there far too often. Great song... dark and fateful, yet ambient enough to drift along with.
