Finally something uplifting and upbeat....Well okay maybe not as much the lyrics in some areas but you get the idea
This is the third song for my newest album "Heart to Heart", I'm releasing it here on Newgrounds first before it hits media stores and youtube.
The album explores topics like self doubt, impostor syndrome and the fear of dying, it talks about a person on their deathbed, reminiscing of their life, past mistakes, doubts they have about themselves and ends with the ultimate acceptance of who they are, what they've become and that passing is a natural thing in life, not to be feared.
Obviously this is a short description as each song has vastly deeper meanings than this, but spoiling them would ruin the fun!.
Through the album and on every song there's a heartbeat pattern that plays on at least one section, sometimes it's not as recognizable as it is when it is played on the drums, but every song has this.
Without going into much detail this one talks about loss of identity.

Lyrics:
It's good to be back
It's good to be back
From the fiery depths of hell
It's good to be back
All my life I've been in chains
Giving nothing to myself
And I say oh
Oh oh no no
It's good to be back
It's good to be back
I'm not feeling like myself
It's back in my mind
Just avoiding doesn't cut it
When it gnaws up in your mind
And I say oh
Oh oh no no
I want to go home
Please lord
I want to go home
But the fun can't stop
I need to stay up
It's just in my head
But that's right
This dream never ends
Ah
They tell me I am possessed
Yeah
In the mirror
Two faces stare back at me
One is calm and collected
The other is wild and free
One whispers gentle words
The other screams in fear
One pulls me close
The other pushes far from near
I can't see the light
That shines in your eyes
Where have you gone
Little fireflies
Light up the world
Leave no stone unturned
So why did I mess with you
My little firefly
Ah
They tell me I am possessed
That I can't control myself
Yeah
In the mirror
Things are not what they seem to be
First you're looking at yourself
Then you're trapped in your own hell
It's good to be back
It's good to be back
From the fiery depths of hell
It's good to be back
All my life I've been in chains
Giving nothing to myself
And I say oh
Oh oh no no
It's good to be back
It's good to be back
I am taking over now
I'm back in your mind
Just avoiding doesn't cut it
When it gnaws up in your mind
And I say oh
Oh oh no no
It's good to be back
It's good to be back
From the fiery depths of hell
It's good to be back
All my life I've been in chains
Giving nothing to myself
And I say oh
I want to go home
Please lord
I want to go home
But the fun can't stop
Finally something uplifting and upbeat....Well okay maybe not as much the lyrics in some areas but you get the idea
Dang this is masterful, amazing lyrical work, insane drums, and super creative guitar riffs. Love this! However I do think the vocaloid vocals sound a bit unnatural at times, especially when it flips up super high. Overall a really cool track though!
The sheer amount of effort and time it must have taken to make this is incredible. Great stuff!
