Lyrics

The sun goes down as [?] surrenders to the night

The sun setting as something surrenders to the night (unclear what)

The last few minutes with you before I lose my mind

Last moments with someone before losing sanity

And then I just flew away, piece by piece and cell by cell

Flying away, disintegrating into pieces at a cellular level

Fading like fairy tales, we don't need Heaven, just no Hell

Fading away like fairy tales, preferring no Heaven or Hell


We're moving slowly, I might be heading in the wrong direction

Moving slowly, possibly in the wrong direction

I might be throwing all these stones at my own reflection

Throwing stones at one's own reflection, self-destructive behavior


Am I standing still?

Pondering if the speaker is stagnant

Or is the rest of the world somehow flying by?

Questioning if the world is moving faster than the speaker

Am I standing still?

Repeating the contemplation of being motionless

Why do things never happen how I think they, think they will?

Expressing frustration at things not going as expected


Becoming strangers in the blink of an eye

Becoming strangers suddenly

No redemption, no more words to make things right

No chance of redemption, no words left to make amends

Everything is gone astray and falling into nothing piece by piece

Everything is falling apart, disintegrating into nothing

Any sacrifice we made cannot change our bitter faith

Sacrifices made cannot alter a bitter destiny


We move slowly, we advance into alienation

Advancing slowly into alienation

It seems we're holding the corpse of our own creation

Seemingly carrying the remains of self-destruction


Am I standing still?

Reiterating the question of stagnation

Or is the rest of the world somehow flying by?

Questioning if the world is progressing while the speaker is stagnant

Am I standing still?

Repeating the uncertainty about being motionless

Why do things never happen how I think they, think they will?

Expressing frustration at unmet expectations


Don't look back, don't look down

Advising against looking back or down, embracing a shared fall without regrets

We fall together with no regrets now

Embracing a joint fall without regrets

Don't look back, don't look down

Reiterating the advice against looking back or down

We jump together, we fall together

Embracing a shared jump and fall without regrets


Am I standing still?

Repeating the contemplation of being motionless

Or is the rest of the world somehow flying by?

Questioning if the world is progressing while the speaker is stagnant

Am I standing still?

Repeating the uncertainty about being motionless

Why do things never happen how I think they, think they will?

Expressing frustration at unmet expectations
