About to Crash (Reprise) Lyrics
The darkness far behind me
I'm invincible
Despair will never find me
I've got a new sense of elation
Boundless energy
Euphoria fixation
It seems so meaningless to try
When all I want to do is cry
Who would ever know I felt so sad
I know that I will never fly
And when I fall out of the sky
Who'll be standing by
Well, it's the wrong lyrics so here are the right ones
I'm alive again The darkness far behind me I'm invincible Despair will never find me
I feel strong I've got a new sense of elation Boundless energy Euphoria fixation
Still it's hard to just get by It seems so meaningless to try When all I want to do is cry Who would ever know I felt so sad
Even though I get so high I know that I will never fly And when I fall out of the sky Who'll be standing by
Will you be standing by
As a continuation of the narrative from About To Crash, the speaker has pulled herself out of her fatal pattern, but she realises that it wont be long before she once again returns to it. So in anticipation of that time, she asks "will you be standing by?.." I actually think that this is better than About To Crash itself, even though this is shorter and doesn't contain quite the same level of musical complexity. It's high spirited and swift, and it's great...

It's crazy, just listening to About to Crash and then this. It's just weird after knowing the lyrics better as you can see how they resonate. The way they do the voices at the "semi chorus" is just perfect. A completely calm and fluid voice for such a set of distraught thoughts. Absolutely genius.
Great Great part.....of a badass epic.
