Just hits me hard, m8! Excellent job (:
After another eventful period later, this is finally done. This is a song that i wanted to get done for a long time, because it has been in me for quite a while now. I thank the Spirit for helping me through these tough times, and also for the memories in the process. This is for the people i adore.
The making of this song was a very long and complicated process. I was constantly jumping back and forth as i struggled with myself, hence the reason why this song took multiple months to make. Fun fact: i started writing this when i ended a romantic relationship with one, and finished it when it ended with another. I think this is a circle that was worth coming around.
The beginning is calm. The riff is melancholic, but at the same time, calm. After that, the verse comes in, still calm.
Then the break. It is a powerful release of emotions that can be thought about as a drop of thoughts. After that, second verse, with a slightly different and more complex bass and drum progression, illustrating the intensification of one's anxiety and unease about the communication between ourselves, and the people we are with and connect. The phrase why cannot we have a connection in our minds perfectly illustrates that.
Then a powerful transition. This is when honesty and pain comes through. I keep asking do you love me? because I simply just do not know. The solo i am doing is in a harsh minor, and it clashes with the overall track, symbolizing the extreme pain and difference of our pieces, trying to make it fit with others. The darkness of my curiosity erases all things, and the only thing i think about is the illusion of love. The feeling of people's cheers, and kindness are all an artificial fluke, generated by the lust of wanting to be a light for them.
After that, cooldown. Abstraction, but then realization and from then, the words, thoughts, and feelings start to flow like a river. The panning of the two guitars symbolize the connection between two individuals- it starts out disintegrated, but over time, the rhytms match up, to become one continous pulse, that will go on. Thats the reason the song fades out, the love that two people share is eternal,the connection they share transcends the normal conceptions of space and time.
Every one of us wants to belong somewhere. Its a natural instinct of our survival. And love is a very powerful tool of showing that you dont just have a place to be, but that you are also an individual who is important. Some people dont feel that they are good enough, like me. They feel like they need to do more in order to get conformation that they are doing the right thing, and that they are appreciated.
Communication is the key to love. Without it, no connection can be made, thoughts, opinions, wishes, and feelings cannot be transmitted, and we wouldnt even have a conception of social interaction.
But no matter what, there is always something, someone that is glad you are there where are you now. One will make connections with people, and one will most likely lose some. It is always a continous cycle that keeps me going, knowing that whatever tomorrow may bring, i am surronded by people that are with me, climbing the infinite hill with me,and those people all have a place in my heart.
So to everyone... i am glad you are here.
Lyrics:
I have a question
That has no answer
Will it last forever?
The sounds of my
Static noises
Brought me here
To this mist
Blinded by the tears
I make my way
Into the abyss
Is it worth the wait?
(Chorus)
This endless silence
Complicates me
Just as always
In my memory
You made me
Feel like
I was lost
In your symphony
Dont feel these
Parallel lines
Why cant have we
A connection in our lights?
(Break)
Do you love me?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me?
Tell me how
Do you love me?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me?
Tell me how
Do you love me?
Do you love me now?
Dont forget me
Why does it exist?
Do i really need
To live with this?
I want to see outside the fog
To see beauty
To feel ourselves connected and
Still be a human
Connect me
Sadness over
Whelmes me from the sidelines
But dont forget
I still love you
Thank you everyone for being here with me. May the Spirit bless you all.
Keep climbing.
