Was listening to this the last night and it truly destroyed me. Incredible how this can make you feel when in the dark, eyes closed, relaxed and headphone on whilst absorbing this.
Thinking about a man. A man, sensious, emotional, able to feel deep deep inside of his own....A man, also who feels free, free for whatever he wants to do - crazy, rockin things.... quietly, relaxed, clear, warm, strong, sharp, hard, whatever....He s alive, alive!
Here's to all the people you fell in love with who can never be yours. Here's to all the trauma and the fear, the rejection, the pain, the heartache. Here's to those still hoping for something.
So many emotions in this song. At least from my own interpretation, it feels like the heart of someone going through in-the-moment pain, but also knowing that it's going to lead to a better future. Like letting somebody go, experiencing the pain of it, but at the same time knowing that this is better for the long run. (This is all actually exactly what I'm going through, and to me it felt like the song nailed this feeling perfectly)
Well, the title and the tune certainly go together.
Imagine one of those days where you've had to walk out of a job because they're either asking you to do the impossible, or something illegal (or both), in order to stay in the role. Then imagine you find out that your social security net won't help you because you walked out holding your head high instead of breaking the law, or getting fired because you couldn't morally bring yourself to break said laws. Then imagine you have bills, no money, little hope of finding new employment and a family to support. You begin to feel like a 3 legged workhorse, dragging the load behind you, struggling all the way only to realise your effort was for naught because you're essentially damaged goods. The way the tune progresses really does epitomize the feeling that I have been left with. And yet, underneath the crashing, melancholic melody you can sense there is hope to be found, a reason to carry on to the bitter end. Despite the costs.
I would like to thank TWDY for creating so many emotive pieces of music, really there is something for every occasion, even one like I described above. For anyone else I'm sure this piece holds different meanings, but for me, the overriding feeling I'm left with is hope, and a wee bit of regret :P
I'll be honest, I've felt this way before, multiple times.
Ever feel like you're doing your best, yet it has been and never will be enough? You put in all that effort to doing your job right, whether it be at work, school, your social connections, talents, Hell, LIFE, only for it to amount to nothing? For someone you know and care about to essentially say that you need to be better?! Because I fucking have! A godforsaken three legged work horse, putting everything I have into my existence just to be told that we're all dust in the fucking wind!
The reason I love this band so much, is because they catch the emotions of sadness, anger, regret, love, serenity, and joy in a song without words. The lyrics are woven into the sound so perfectly. Truly a talented group of people.
Waking up outside the gates of Hell
Entering Hell
Going through Hell
Surviving and coming out of Hell
Rising victorious out of the ashes of Hell
Finding Heaven and finally exhaling
Looking back at life from a point of rest
Finally crying because your alone you made it through Hell
But no one else did.
Song has a lot of weight, wonder if the artist know that.
