Here Before
Echoes of Desperation: Apollo Rising's Emotional Journey in 'Here Before'
Lyrics
Save your breath now
Advising someone to refrain from speaking
Familiar place oh it’s all the same
Expressing a sense of monotony in the environment
Familiar face but it’s all to blame
Seeing a familiar face but attributing blame to it
Crushed by the weight of all your claims
Feeling overwhelmed by the burden of someone's assertions
Of all your claims
Reiterating the weight of the mentioned claims
Feeling the change, oh it’s all to late
Noticing and regretting a change that is now irreversible
Fearing the worst, did I seal my fate
Anticipating the worst outcome and questioning one's fate
I’m lost in my ways in this foreign state
Feeling lost in personal habits within an unfamiliar situation
This foreign state
Highlighting the foreign and unfamiliar nature of the current state
Save your breath now
Repeating the advice to withhold words
Don’t say you’ve lost now
Discouraging the expression of defeat or failure
And I can’t save you
Acknowledging inability to rescue or help
Cause I feel like I’ve been losing my mind
Expressing a feeling of losing one's sanity
Have we forgotten
Raising a question about collective forgetfulness
Everything that we could be if we tried
Reflecting on lost potential if effort was made
Cause I need you to remember
Stressing the importance of remembering
It will fade out of sight
Assuring that certain things will eventually become less visible or prominent
And all I know is that I’ve been here
Expressing a sense of repeated experience in a particular place or situation
far too many times
Emphasizing the frequency of encountering a similar situation
It’s easy to see what it’s all about
Describing the simplicity of understanding the situation
Forgetting the way that you sold me out
Forgetting the betrayal that occurred
Watching you float while I drown in doubt
Witnessing someone's apparent success while feeling drowned in uncertainty
Maybe you’ll find what you wanted now
Suggesting the possibility of the other person finding what they desire
Watching you break all your empty vows
Observing the breaking of promises or commitments
Who could have seen through this endless drought
Reflecting on the unexpected and prolonged absence of something
You’re lost in your ways so you pushed me out
Pointing out that the other person is also lost in their ways, leading to separation
Save your breath now
Reiterating the advice to save one's breath
Don’t say you’ve lost now
Re-emphasizing the discouragement of admitting defeat
And I can’t save you
Repeating the acknowledgment of inability to save
Cause I feel like I’ve been losing my mind
Echoing the feeling of losing one's sanity
Have we forgotten
Prompting a recall of forgotten aspects
Everything that we could be if we tried
Reflecting on lost potential and unexplored possibilities
Cause I need you to remember
Stressing the importance of remembering despite things fading away
It will fade out of sight
Reiterating the eventual fading of certain experiences or emotions
And all I know is that I’ve been here
Reiterating the frequent experience of a familiar and challenging situation
far too many times
Highlighting the repetitive nature of encountering a particular scenario
And I can’t save you
Repeating the acknowledgment of inability to save
Cause I feel like I’ve been losing my mind
Echoing the feeling of losing one's sanity
Have we forgotten
Prompting a recall of forgotten aspects
Everything that we could be if we tried
Reflecting on lost potential and unexplored possibilities
Cause I need you to remember
Stressing the importance of remembering despite things fading away
It will fade out of sight
Reiterating the eventual fading of certain experiences or emotions
And all I know is that I’ve been here
Reiterating the frequent experience of a familiar and challenging situation
Far too many times
Emphasizing the extended duration of encountering a similar situation
Save your breath now
Repeating the advice to withhold words
