Undertow
by Pain Of Salvation
Let me go
Let me go
Let me seek the answers that I need to know
Let me find a way
Let me walk away
Through the Undertow
Please let me go
Let me fly
Let me fly
Let me rise against that blood-red velvet sky
Let me chase it all
Break my wings and fall
Probably survive
So let me fly
Let me fly...
Let me run
Let me run
Let me ride the crest of chance into the sun
You were always there
But you may lose me here
Now love me if you dare
And let me run
I'm alive and I am true to my heart now -
I am I, but why must truth always make me die?
Let me break!
Let me bleed!
Let me tear myself apart I need to breathe!
Let me lose my way!
Let me walk astray!
Maybe to proceed...
Just let me bleed!
Let me drain!
Let me die!
Let me break the things I love I need to cry!
Let me burn it all!
Let me take my fall
Through the cleansing fire!
Now let me die!
Let me die...
Let me out
Let me fade into that pitch black velvet night
Music & lyrics by Daniel Gildenlow
for music, normally i'll pay attention to its melody and instrumentation more than the lyrics. been listening to this song alot these few days, at first was intrigued by its melody, poignant with the subtle acoustic guitars and the piano weaving into the surreal soundscape. then as i slowly i paid heed to the lyrics, i looked up the cd booklet, didnt realised that its so depressing. which is not an indication of my mood ya, im over the depression curve. -.-"
discovered this band through a music forum i often visit. its the first album of the band i bought [ 12:5 ], and its been the 1st disc in my cd changer since. not only the song is that captivating, the whole cd is quite brilliant really, at least, IMO. want the mp3s? hee.
alritey, enough of gushing already, i could go on forever. =p
i wanted to put the lyrics up.. cos its so, i quite adore this kind of poetry/lyrics. go read my prev poems~ if anyone's interested, which i highly doubt, anyways, go visit
here.
oh ya.. just in case u dont know the meaning of the song title. erm, cos i also dunno. hee.

Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say 'Good night' till it be morrow.
