Song is about the fantisization about love.

As Life Withers

Dark Heavy Metal flowing with emotion and power. For fans of Katatonia, Opeth and In Flames.

As Life Withers started in 2004 when I (Matt) decided to make music from a personal standpoint which at the time was a depressed one. I wanted to create my own form of meloncholic music that is not gothic, emo, or even doom, but I can understand if someone compares my music to one of those genres. I am striving to create music with the intricacy of Opeth and the bleakness of Katatonia. Now I am trying to start working once again on this solo project of mine, focusing on long songs that create different atmospheres. One moment it may sound like melodic black metal, the next it may sound like dark rock, whatever the sub-genre you would like to label it as, to me it is just depressing

Story behind the song

It is a song I wrote after I saw the movie "boys". It made me depressed and really think about how much I long to heal my lonelyness, but usual just escape to my dreams and find a beautiful woman that gives me comfort.

Lyrics

A never-ending rest, within my heart
An eternal longing
A burning desire only one can fulfill
An impenetrable feeling
Inside this heart

Trying to get through these nights
These nights filled with hopelessness, anxiety, and depression
The only will, this desire I feel

I hear an echo in the distance
Calling out my name
I follow the echo, but I only find reality
It was but a dream

In my dreams I hold you all night
In my dreams the pain goes away
In my dreams the tears don’t fall
In my dreams I am in love

Morning always brings the bitter truth
It is the destruction of my fantasies 
The love fades as the sun rises
The dreams of night become the nightmares of morning

I can’t keep living this way
Shackling myself to this illusion
I must open up my World
Find my way back but,


In my dreams I hold you all night
In my dreams the pain goes away
In my dreams the tears don’t fall
In my dreams I am in love
