Lost Forever
Van Canto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no reason, no sense
I'm caged in prisons my consciousness built
Always in fearful defense
Always pretending that my will's fulfilled
I have to somehow break out
I have to fight for the freedom to be
What is this life all about?
I have to fight for the right to be free
And so you wonder what have you become?
Might be I am lost forever
Still I'm here to carry on
Even though the road is wayless
I won't doubt, I'm marching on
Might be that I'm lost forever
Walking somewhere far beyond
As long as I roam I don't care
To be lost forevermore
There was a need to be true
I had been hunting for aims that were lies
There is no need to be you
You walk on beaten paths until you die
I went ahead just to see
What I would find there was worth fighting for
I went ahead to be me
And to return to my heart, to my core
Remain in silence, save your words for us
Until the end of time we wander
Roaming to be lost
Might be I am lost forever
Still I'm here to carry on
Even though the road is wayless
I won't doubt, I'm marching on
Might be that I'm lost forever
Walking somewhere far beyond
As long as I roam I don't care
To be lost forevermore
Might be I am lost forever
Still I'm here to carry on
Even though the road is wayless
I won't doubt, I'm marching on
Might be that I'm lost forever
Walking somewhere far beyond
As long as I roam I don't care
To be lost forevermore
Might be I am lost forever
Still I'm here to carry on
Even though the road is wayless
I won't doubt, I'm marching on
Might be that I'm lost forever
Walking somewhere far beyond
As long as I roam I don't care
To be lost forevermore

There is no reason, no sense
I am dealing with confusion and a lack of purpose
I'm caged in prisons my consciousness built
I am trapped in my own thoughts and fears
Always in fearful defense
I am constantly on guard due to my anxieties
Always pretending that my will's fulfilled
I am living a life that doesn't align with my true desires
I have to somehow break out
I need to find a way to break free from my mental cage
I have to fight for the freedom to be
I must struggle to truly be myself
What is this life all about?
I am questioning the meaning and purpose of my existence
I have to fight for the right to be free
I must actively work towards achieving personal freedom
And so you wonder what have you become?
I am reflecting on my true self and who I have become
Might be I am lost forever
I am unsure if I will ever find my way
Still I'm here to carry on
Despite my uncertainties, I will continue moving forward
Even though the road is wayless
Despite feeling lost, I will continue traveling forward without direction
I won't doubt, I'm marching on
I will not let my doubts stop me from moving forward
Walking somewhere far beyond
I am journeying towards an unknown place
As long as I roam I don't care
I don't mind wandering aimlessly as long as I keep moving
To be lost forevermore
Being lost indefinitely does not matter to me
There was a need to be true
I had a desire to be authentic
I had been hunting for aims that were lies
I had been pursuing goals that were not true to who I am
There is no need to be you
I do not need to conform to societal norms or other people's expectations
You walk on beaten paths until you die
Following the conventional path will lead to an unfulfilled life
I went ahead just to see
I explored an alternative path to see if it was right for me
What I would find there was worth fighting for
I discovered something that was worth pursuing despite the challenges
I went ahead to be me
I took the risk to be true to myself
And to return to my heart, to my core
I aimed to rediscover my true self
Remain in silence, save your words for us
I am keeping my thoughts and feelings to myself for the time being
Until the end of time we wander
We will always be on a journey of self-discovery
Roaming to be lost
We are wandering aimlessly in search of something

Banda perfeita, os caras são monstros, conseguem fazer metal (e não é qualquer metal não) sem uso de instrumentos, salvo a bateria... qualidade acima da média... e destaque para os covers...
Muito boa banda mesmo...

This is now one of my favorite metal songs of all time. No joke. You guys are some talented mother fuckers. I get so drawn into the song that sometimes I don't realize I'm listening to voices. You have impressed me. I'm pretty open when it comes to music but metal is my baby and you guys just helped prove to me that metal is still yet dead and new boundaries are still being pushed. Cheers to you Van Canto. You guys and gal have made me a very happy person today.
