Lyrics

You used to be apart of me everyday

You used to be a part of my daily life

I was so blind to assume you'd stay

I was oblivious to the possibility that you might leave

I was afraid of you to leave

I feared the idea of you departing

I just wanna close my eyes and run away

I just want to escape and avoid facing the reality

You left me alone on the floor of demoniacal land

You abandoned me in a nightmarish place

But it takes forever for me to forget about it

It takes an exceptionally long time for me to move on from it

It had to much frantic and pain that I couldn't stand

The experience was filled with chaos and pain that I couldn't endure

You're so deceiving just like the Motherland

You are deceitful, much like a treacherous homeland

Wish I had never left this cave

I regret leaving the safety of my previous existence

A beautiful television dream you were

You were a captivating illusion, like a beautiful dream on television

As if I traded my soul to those Russian dolls

It feels like I've sacrificed my essence for something illusory

Feeling smaller day by day

I feel increasingly diminished with each passing day

You left me alone on the floor of demoniacal land

You abandoned me in a nightmarish place (repeated)

But it takes forever for me to forget about it

It takes an exceptionally long time for me to move on from it (repeated)

It had to much frantic and pain that I couldn't stand

The experience was filled with chaos and pain that I couldn't endure (repeated)

You're so deceiving just like the Motherland

You are deceitful, much like a treacherous homeland (repeated)

Oh, sweet motherland

Expressing a sense of longing or attachment to a homeland

How did we end up in the same place?

Reflecting on how both ended up in a similar situation

With your callous reprimand

Your harsh criticism takes away my sense of beauty and grace

Takes away my lovely grace

Describing the impact of the homeland's actions on the speaker's well-being

Can never understand

An expression of the speaker's inability to comprehend the situation

Trying to comprehend

Attempting to understand the circumstances

I'm a lonely man

Feeling isolated and lonely

Come and find me

An invitation or plea for someone to find and connect with the speaker

I need a hand

Expressing a need for support or assistance

To hold

The speaker desires a comforting and supportive presence

To hold

Repetition emphasizing the speaker's desire for connection and comfort

I just wanna feel like I'm home

Expressing a longing to feel a sense of belonging and comfort
