Drift
Solitude's Decadence: A Drifting King's Odyssey
Lyrics
I am the bearer of an intoxicating dream
I embody an enticing dream that captivates and influences.
Come apart at the thought of a life where I brave the seas alone
I disintegrate at the idea of a life where I confront challenges on my own.
I drift away into fleeting delusions
I mentally wander into temporary illusions.
Carry away the bones that make up my grief
I carry away the remnants of my sorrow.
I sail
I navigate.
Masts with no wind
Sails without wind.
Come and hail
Come and acknowledge.
The king with no castle
The ruler without a fortress.
Gripping with my eyes, I choke the sky
I seize the sky with intensity.
Revel at my will
Take pleasure in my determination.
Revel at my will
Enjoy my determination.
But in truth,
However, honestly,
There’s no honor here in solitude
There is no honor in being alone.
Never knew
Unaware
That you'd finally wake up
That you would eventually awaken.
And the tide’s changing
And the tide is shifting.
Reign alone
Rule by oneself.
A realm of decadence built alone
A domain of excess constructed independently.
Barricaded from revenants
Blocked from returning spirits.
I am the only one who needs to know
I am the sole one who must be informed.
I'm the only one who cares
I am the only one who cares.
I drift away into fleeting delusions
I mentally wander into temporary illusions.
Carry away the bones that make up my grief
Carry away the remnants of my sorrow.
I sail
I navigate.
Masts with no wind
Sails without wind.
Come and hail
Come and acknowledge.
The king with no castle
The ruler without a fortress.
The swirling maelstrom gives way
The turbulent whirlpool gives in.
Rogue waves crash with clarity
Rogue waves crash with clarity.
I submerge myself
I immerse myself.
Drown convolution out
Suppress confusion.
Deconstruction of a colorless mind
Breaking down a colorless mind.
I now see elegance in stains
Now, I perceive beauty in imperfections.
Washed away in the waves of my own delusion
Washed away in the waves of my own illusion.
Gripping with my eyes, I choke the sky
I seize the sky with intensity.
Revel at my will
Take pleasure in my determination.
Revel at my will
Enjoy my determination.
But in truth,
However, honestly,
There’s no honor here in solitude
There is no honor in being alone.
Never knew
Unaware
That you'd finally wake up
That you would eventually awaken.
And the tide’s changing
And the tide is shifting.
Reign alone
Rule by oneself.
