about

About this track:

A song questioning life, metaphysics, awareness and appreciation.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Stuck in a void—a void of apathy.
I needed more—more than what I was feeling.
I left to find a whole new life to live.
Can't stop searching...
It always seems as though I've hit a wall.
Is there a point to anything I'm doing?
It's all become so fucking dull to me.
Help me want to care...

So can you see the life around you
Passing us by... passing it by?
Remember all the things that we've let slip away,
staring at the window.
Have you seen the world beyond you
Passing us by... passing it by?
It's nothing but a scene until it's gone...

This stream of night—it flashes over me.
This gale of wind intensifies the music.
This sound I feel alive and moving me...
So much closer...
A shooting star—it flashes over me.
The vibrant moon illuminates the feeling.
There's something here—more than just what I see...
Is it all a dream?

There's much more there than what you see
If you look just beyond yourself
You'd be surprised at what you see
When you look past what binds you.
There's much more there than what you see
If you look just beyond yourself
You'd be surprised at what you see
When you're not caught within yourself...

(Chorus)
