Story behind the song
this is a very simple and direct song. i sat down at my computer and created a sequence in AudioMulch that really seemed to capture what i was feeling. i made this whole song in about 3 hours when i really should have been sleeping. because of this, and because i probably could've added a ton of stuff and mix tweaking to it, i call this version the Insomniac Mix. anyways, the lyrics are about a problematic romantic relationship i was involved in. i was pretty sure the relationship was going to end and it was tearing me up inside. i struggled to understand the person i was involved with and found that for the first time in my life i just couldn't. a lot of the lyrics could also be read as though they were intended for myself, so the song can be interpreted in several different ways...
Lyrics
-unstructured- the night holds no more answers now my tears they fall in vain talking will change nothing now these walls are made of pain walls of circumstance between you and me it seems there is no way that i can make you see to be brilliant like the phoenix you must first suffer death the image doesn't stop my sobs or soothe my aching breathe so how can i find comfort in casting it all away? when my heart tells me i should give it just one more day though i know i hurt you, it feels like i'm to blame i wonder what you're thinking now, and if you feel the same it seems like our understanding has just been ripped away if only i could think of the right words to say i want to take you in my arms and tell you its ok to tell you that it's not your fault that things worked out this way why must you blame yourself? why do you hate yourself? -spoken- waiting for sleep to take me away shut out from your world a thousand things i'd like to say to you but my voice has been silenced and i feel so alone so unwanted
