Xerces Lyrics

the best verse, and also the one everyone seems to be getting wrong:

"Return, to see Everything looks the same. I don’t know If the change made was great, Cause the craving remains the same."

This song definitely has a tinge of depression in it, that feeling like nothing is worth it, you could stay or you could go and it wouldn't be any difference. I think the verse I mentioned earlier is the most significant because it refers to that feeling where you try to change your perspective and try to help yourself and make things better, but when you return, it's really all the same old shit and everything just looks the same, and you return to the same feelings you felt before and the same cravings you had before. It's about trying to change, but never fully being able to make it permanent.
