Tunnels in the Air
Unraveling Bonds: When Promises Fade Away
Lyrics
You said you would always be around
You promised to always be present
Nothing to think about
No need for concern or contemplation
But where were you when
Questioning the absence during a crisis
Things came crashing down
When everything fell apart
Nowhere to be found
You were nowhere to be found
Now that it’s the end and it’s
Now, facing the conclusion alone
Just me, all by myself, i’ll
Solitude prevails, and I will
Hold my breath until the earth stands still
Hold my breath until the world stops
You said you would always be around
Reiteration of the unfulfilled promise
Nothing to think about
No need for contemplation
But where were you when
Highlighting absence during crisis again
Things came crashing down
When everything collapsed
You said you would always be around
Repetition of the broken commitment
Nothing to think about
No need for contemplation
But where were you when
Questioning the absence during a crisis once more
Things came crashing down
When everything fell apart again
How can you hang me out to dry
Expressing betrayal and abandonment
Feeling that everything I do is wrong
Feeling constantly wronged
And maybe we don’t see eye to eye
Possibly acknowledging differences
All that I ever do is try
Emphasizing continuous effort
Sometimes it’s hard to just let go
The difficulty of releasing a connection
Alone in your world can be so cold
Isolation in a cold, indifferent world
Why does it have to unfold
Questioning the unfolding of events
Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding
Suggesting a possible misunderstanding
You said you would always be around
Reiteration of unfulfilled commitment
Nothing to think about
No need for contemplation
But where were you when
Highlighting absence during crisis once again
Things came crashing down
When everything collapsed once more
You said you would always be around
Repetition of the broken commitment
Nothing to think about
No need for contemplation
But where were you when
Questioning the absence during a crisis again
Things came crashing down
When everything fell apart again
Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding
Suggesting that it might be a misunderstanding
