Lyrics
I wish there was a way to bring it back
I desire a way to revive what is lost
I can't believe we're all amnesiacs (at least we have something in common)
I find it hard to believe that we all suffer from collective forgetfulness; shared experiences unite us
There´s an odradek shaped hole
There is an absence or void in the shape of Odradek
in our matte black souls
This void exists within our seemingly lifeless, indifferent souls
and it calls for more
The void yearns for more, suggesting a need for fulfillment
I don´t think our lives should even count (til we´re whole)
I don't believe our lives should be considered complete until we achieve a state of wholeness
The absence is the clue
The emptiness itself provides a hint or indication
Displaced by what we knew
What we once knew has been replaced or displaced
A half-remembered dream
A partially remembered dream lingers in our consciousness
A fleeting something in the seam
There is a fleeting, elusive quality in the fabric of our existence
We catch it and it's gone
We grasp at something, but it slips away quickly
A strange and fading song
An unusual and vanishing song accompanies our experiences
We need this to be true
We have a need for these elusive moments to be authentic and real
There's nothing you can say to change my mind
No words can alter my conviction; we have abandoned the ultimate and truest emotion
I know it for a fact we left behind (the final and truest emotion)
I am certain that we have left behind a significant emotion
Now we´re living half-baked lives
We are currently leading incomplete lives
Wasting all our time
We waste our time in this state of incompleteness
But I know there´s more
Despite this, there is a belief that there is more to discover or attain
I wish I only knew what we should look for
I wish I knew precisely what we should be seeking
The absence is the clue
The emptiness itself provides a hint or indication (repetition from line 9)
Displaced by what we knew
What we once knew has been replaced or displaced (repetition from line 10)
A half-remembered dream
A partially remembered dream lingers in our consciousness (repetition from line 11)
A fleeting something in the seam
There is a fleeting, elusive quality in the fabric of our existence (repetition from line 12)
The odradek and you
Odradek and our identity or essence are intertwined
The color that we knew
The color of our experiences or memories is linked to Odradek
I need it to be true
We have a need for our experiences to be authentic and real (repetition from line 16)
The absence is the clue
The emptiness itself provides a hint or indication (repetition from line 9)
Displaced by what we knew
What we once knew has been replaced or displaced (repetition from line 10)
A half-remembered dream
A partially remembered dream lingers in our consciousness (repetition from line 11)
A fleeting something in the seam
There is a fleeting, elusive quality in the fabric of our existence (repetition from line 12)
We catch it and it's gone
We grasp at something, but it slips away quickly (repetition from line 14)
A strange and fading song
An unusual and vanishing song accompanies our experiences (repetition from line 15)
