about

As per the title, the protagonist now wishes to move on, but he is held back by his mental and emotional barriers.

Harmonically, this song is very simple. Two chords are quite enough to project the difficulty of the most challenging step in emotional progress: the first one.

lyrics

The feeling I had
Is never coming back

The madness of unspoiled love,
The small strikes of joy
Lead me to believe
That high will last forever.
And now I'm here
Alone...
Waiting for my joy...
Waiting here for you...
Waiting for the perfect form
To bring me back to myself,
To awake my soul from ignorance,
With these thoughts of endless burning.
The feelings I lost wandering trough the masses
Never to settle in a home.
Nothing is obscene.
I fail to see the bigger picture.
All the pain and all the love
Have lead me to this (moment).

Now I'm here
Alone...
Waiting for my joy...
Waiting here for you...

My ears bleed from all the voices I hear.
I regret every second of my being
Who I don't think I should be.
You can paint the skin,
But the core is rotten.

My memories decay,
I'm on my knees.
Trying to pick up all the pieces left of me.

My memories decay,
I'm on my knees.
Trying to pick up all the pieces left of me.

Nowhere I can find someone I haven't seen.
Nowhere I can find someone I haven't been.

Nowhere I can find myself.
Myself...
