Lyrics
Along the way I find myself
To be confined within me
No place for any other’s mind to interfere
To grasp the meaning of it all
To overcome my limits
And dance away from any void and empty tones
Just tell me why
Just tell me how
I can survive this time
Believe yourself and look away
From all that’s right within you
Leave all your worries at the door and drift away
I’ve tried to peer into the core
But could not storm the sorrow
My hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray
Another time without a trace
Condemn me now
Send me to hell for I’m already failing
Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I’ll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
No time should ever go to waste
It’s not that complicated
You’re free to live your life at ease, no more restraints
No heed for shadows on your way
That try to steal your laughter
Your light will drive them all away, be confident
Will I refrain ? Can I repent ?
Will you be there ?
Erase the page for I’m alone and ailing
Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I’ll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
So, this is my life
And it can’t break me down
Go, I will decide
Who can come in and heal my disease
Burn it in flames
Kill it and maim
Why can’t you see that you need to be freed ?
Intertwine the lines beneath the dark
Every bit of pain we’re feeling
Every other solemn life, no
In the memories you will find somehow
There used to be a dream unending
No more need to be alone
Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in, no
In my memories I’ll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
Someone had betrayed
Trivia
- This is one of Simone’s favourite songs.
“[The song] deals about all the negative criticism which everyone has to deal with in their life. Everybody has something to say about everyone and a lot of criticism comes from jealousy and envy. Besides being criticized by the public, you’re also criticizing yourself. It is a struggle within and you alone can fight it.” – Simone Simons
