Lyrics

I once tried to show you the end of man

I attempted to reveal the ultimate fate of humanity to you

Just to let you see that we will never be the same again

To make you understand that our existence will undergo a profound change

I truly thought I found forever

I genuinely believed I had discovered eternal love

In this fate-less endeavour

In this purposeless undertaking

I realised it took the thought of death just to feel alive

I realized that contemplating death was necessary to truly feel alive

I have so much to learn from your demise

I have much to gain from witnessing your downfall

In the evening of life

In the later stages of life

In the rays of the winter moon

In the moonlight during winter

I came to appreciate

I came to understand

This truth and it comes with gloom

This truth, accompanied by a sense of sadness

That the sight of the stars is all that still makes me dream

Only the sight of stars remains as a source of inspiration

It tore me apart

This experience caused me great emotional pain

It felt so good to dream

Yet, it was strangely satisfying to dream

I was deluded by grandeur

I was deceived by a false sense of superiority

Illusions of my own end eluded by my contentions and corroded by our reality

My own illusions were ignored, challenged, and eroded by our harsh reality

I used to dream of painting and then I'd paint my dream

I used to dream of creativity, but now I'm haunted by unrealized possibilities

But now that all my mind's eye can see is what could have been what must not ever be

All my mind can envision is what might have been and should never come to pass

Your mind it paints a picture, to your soul there's a disconnect

Your mind creates an image, but your soul feels detached

Your words they speak of fractures and regret

Your words express fractures and remorse

But as the sun arose, as I distilled my own existence

As the sun rose, contemplating my own existence, I realized my discontent

I realised that I am I and I wish I wasn't

I recognized that I am myself, and I wish I weren't

I scrape the deepest depths of this abyss we deem existence

I explore the deepest depths of this existence we consider an abyss

This is why I sought his words, what are we if not resistance?

This is why I sought profound words, questioning our identity as anything but resistance

I saw that thought arise, the notion of revolution

I witnessed the emergence of revolutionary thoughts

It materialised before my longing eyes

These thoughts materialized before my hopeful eyes

Am I still human?

I question if I am still bound by human limitations

Or have I transcended this mortality?

Or if I have transcended mortality

You died because you searched for happiness at the risk of finding the void

You perished because you sought happiness, risking encountering emptiness

So delve, delve into the void

So explore, explore the emptiness
