about

About this track:

A both literal and metaphoric tale in which one leads another in overcoming her struggle. A reminder that, regardless of our enemy or hurdle, it's vital to consider our own shortcomings while working to find resolution. For even if we do surpass our external obstacle, a danger lies in the power we gain; we may also gain a similar outlook to those who we have overcome.

There's always more to learn, but we don't have to learn alone.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Hey, this is it.
It's about time you opened up your eyes.
This is it.
Look out, they're watching from all sides tonight,
And they'll never miss a break in silence.
Hey, this is it.
We're about to come upon the end of the line.
And it won't be long before we're riverside,
So just tread the narrows
And broaden your mind.

Here we are at the break of dawn,
Complacent bow with affliction drawn.
I don't know why you gotta go,
Why you gotta go...
Why you gotta go,
Why you gotta go alone.
Rendezvous as we unify,
The revolution begins tonight.
Never know why you gotta go,
Why you gotta go...
Why you gotta go,
Why you gotta go alone.

We won't let ourselves become
Those we wish to overrun,
But this all comes down to one...

Girl, this is it.
An awakening from all the pride.
This is it.
It's not the enemy that's wrong sometimes.
No, we also have ourselves to battle.
Girl, this is it.
They await your company inside.
Oh, and this...
Never mind your guise it doesn't suit your eyes,
So try this mask on I think it's just your size.

(Chorus)

We won't let ourselves become
Those we wish to overrun,
And it all comes down to one.
For each of us can have the power
Over our own lives,
But first you must decide.

Hey, this it... hey girl, this is it.
So take my hand, we'll dance the night away...
You've come so far and been through more
Than ever now, look at yourself,
And all that you've become.
Now dance with me; it's plain to see
Your golden heart is soon to set you free.
Come, won't you dance with me...
And find the key
To recognize all that you are,
And all that you can be.

(Chorus)

We won't let ourselves become
Those we wish to overrun,
And it all comes down to
The way this can be done—
A chance to overcome.
