In this track, the focal point changes. The beggining represents a pleasant day in the life, a walk in the sunshine which is then interrupted by the sudden shock, the sudden realisation that something is very wrong.
Musically, this track is supposed to tip the hat to our heavier side, using heavy riffs and droning distorted guitars and overlayed growls and screams to embody the panic one feels when faced with his, or someone else's mortality. On the other hand, the second part is intended to act as the other side of the same coin: a rocking, steady rhythm with gentle vocal phrases to mediate the protagonists tragic understanding of his own nature.
lyrics
Can't you see a boy on top of that building?
Can't you see him cold?
I can't stay quiet no more.
I can't stay quiet no more.
We may avoid who we are,
We may avoid the rawness of our feelings,
But the lies can't touch our souls.
Silence can't numb the pain,
Pills can't stop me from thinking
No matter how many times I've tried.
There's someone at the bottom of the bottle
Who I can't run away from.
Although my throat is burning, I haven't said enough.
Although my hands are bleeding, I haven't done enough.
I'd do anything, anything
To bring back that peace of mind.
Anything, anything
To feel something again.
The colours fade and put me to ease.
White and gray landscapes,
Purple wornout faces...
Vivid pictures appear as distractions,
Reactions to a life in shackles
Connecting to monotonous places,
Neverending stimulations...
Can't you see?
Can't you feel?
Oh, can't you feel that I'm cold?
Engraved in our minds
A non existing memory of bliss.
A memory of breathing without worry
Stuck in our head, a bright future
Projected to us everyday
not to go mad from the emotional pain we endure.
