There's a lot going on in this song that it is a little hard to describe it. If I had to name words, I would say rock, emo, cinematic, epic. You really ought to listen to this song in full. This song touches upon a number of the tracks you will run into when listening to the album. And about that album...
The album tells a story from start to finish. They even structured it in a way where there's no pause between tracks. If you are a fan of pop rock, pop punk, maybe emo pop, I think you'll find a lot to like in this album.
Overall, a great song and a really good album. Below is a preview to the album in case you are interested in hearing it.
It's cool how they structured this song. The chorus is a combination of the verses, or some of the verses are each a part of the chorus. Anyway, pretty cool and great sounding track.
Forgive me now
For I have sold my soul for gold
Washed up on shore
A thousand miles away from home
Just as I begin to settle in to these skin and bones, alone
I find the answers to questions I have never known
Is there life beyond the grave?
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
There must be a better way
Running from time to try and keep myself alive
Release my pride to keep from pushing the light aside
Now as I begin to let this in
I must keep the best in mind
And remove myself from the things that are wasting my time
I know that one of these days
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
I know these words won't hold any weight
But please don't turn away
Don't turn away from me
Is there life beyond the grave?
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
There must be a better way
I know that one of these days
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
Is there life beyond the grave?
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
There must be a better way
I know that one of these days
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave? ♪ ♫ ♪
All the lights and sounds that guide you
Have burned out or faded away
And the so called voice of reason
Has turned out to lead you astray
We can go through the motions
Like we’ve done all along
But if you’re minds made up
I know that either way you’re gone
So say what you will
Say what you want to
It could be a lie
And it’s alright
Say what you will
Say what you need to
Cause there might not be a next time
So tell me are you ready
Are you ready
To never again say what you will ♪ ♫ ♪
I'm letting go
Cause I can't take this anymore
Since you broke my heart in two
And now I know
That you don't love me anymore
So take my broken heart with you ♪ ♫ ♪
I won't wait here forever for something to change
To weak to slather the ropes and the chains
The doors are all locked now, won't get in this time
Still trying to reach you, still standing in line
Listen to the words you sold me with all of that cold you found
I tried to keep ever holding but we couldn't get the demons down
I didn't even mind the blindness, I didn't even mind the cold
Ain't nothing gonna stop me, I'm taking back the heart you stole
I feel like I'm falling all over again
And the visions are blurry inside of my head
Yeah, it makes me so sick that I wish I was dead
Losing all control cause we're lost in Vertigo! ♪ ♫ ♪
Beautiful acoustic version of the original. And I so, so love the emo lyrics in this song. Beautifully poetic.
Hey there, shadow,
Didn't seem to care at all when you watched me go.
I know young love is just a dream,
We were only seventeen,
But you're the only love I've known.
So please just let me go if you're done
'Cause it's hope that kills this heart.
So please set me free, kill the spark.
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia,
Looking for nothing short of a miracle.
I only ever wanted to come home.
Please won't you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.
Then pull the trigger and send me home.
So how did I get so far from my yesterdays?
Another broken heart now just a memory.
I should've left you in the dark,
I should've left this awful town
And never found out how to love.
So I don't wanna know about the things that you regret now that we're dead and over and done.
Get away from me and leave my heart under the rug.
I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home,
So won't you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away,
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay?
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb.

Last song for today is another good find from a band I've never heard of before.
I save myself for you
My faith is way passed due
There is no remedy
For a better me
No song that I can write
That'll bring you back to life
I've tried and I have failed
To no avail
Because time will always win
And I'm so sorry
You're so far away, I'm here to stay
I wait for the day that you will say
Darlin', I'm coming home
You're not alone ♪ ♫ ♪
Now for a newer song... this a good find. Could have gone with much less shouting overall, but it is what it is. It does provide a great contrast for when the pre-chorus and chorus kicks in.
Let's do another #ThrowbackThursday piece. This song conjures up the scent of baby powder and hair gel. It brings back memories of waiting outside the gate of our house as a kid, waiting for a jeepney to pass by, so I can catch a ride to school.
Sometimes, if I'm early enough, I would even ride one that is driving away from school. It goes up a mountain, then loops back down and goes toward my school. It was a good way to pass the time.
The feel of the early morning breeze, this song blasting on the speakers, the excitement of meeting friends at school, those were good times.
