Phoney Icons
Ad Vitam Aeternam Lyrics

Lost moments blown away...
Memories and experiences have been forgotten or lost due to circumstances beyond our control.

They are wounds time cannot heal.
These memories and experiences are painful and cannot be forgotten or healed over time.

I looked at you as a friend,
I saw you as someone I could trust and confide in.

I looked at you as a guide,
I saw you as someone who could lead and direct me.

I wanted to be perfect,
I desired to be flawless and without fault.

perfect as a child.
Aiming for innocence and purity, like a child.

but all your trusted were phoney icons.
However, everyone you trusted to help you achieve perfection turned out to be fake or insincere.

All I ever felt, I never could forgive.
The pain and hurt I experienced was so deep that I couldn't bring myself to forgive it.

All I ever dreamt was far out of reach.
The hopes and aspirations I had were impossible to achieve or attain.

I never thought it would
I did not anticipate that it would end up like this.

come out to this. I never thought
I never expected events to unfold in such a way.

you'd reject me like this.
That you would abandon or turn away from me.

I looked deep inside your mind,
I searched for understanding and insight into your thoughts and feelings.

I saw the pain you tried to hide,
I witnessed the inner turmoil and suffering you attempted to conceal.

well, your look was so pathetic to me.
I found your expression or demeanor to be pitiful or contemptible.

then I saw you lying as screwed as me.
I realized that you were dealing with the same struggles and difficulties as I was.

Now it's too late.
At this point, the opportunity to rectify or address the issues has passed.

All I ever wanted, a little peace of mind.
I only desired a moment of tranquility or relief from my troubles.

All I ever trusted are things I left behind.
The only things I relied on or believed in are now in the past.

I never thought it could turn out like this,
I did not anticipate that things would end up in the current situation.

I never thought it would get sour like this.
I never expected events to become so negative or unpleasant.

Cause I'm hooked too.
I am also trapped or dependent on this situation like you are.

Your heart turned to stone, it makes me
You have become cold or unfeeling, and it hurts me emotionally.

sick to hear that all we felt was crap!
It upsets me to realize that our relationship or connection may have been meaningless.

Do you see what I am at? I love
Can you understand the emotions I am experiencing? I still have affection for you,

you best but you played in with me.
but you have toyed with and misled me.

Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
Why did you discard or disregard your feelings or passions?

I can't make it anymore and
I cannot endure or handle the situation any longer and

I feel hopelessly weighed down
I experience a sense of overwhelming despair or burden.

by your eyes of steel.
Your gaze or expression is unyielding or uncaring.

You know, there are wounds time can't heal.
There are some injuries or sorrows that cannot be erased or recovered from over time.

You slipped away, your world is not mine!
You have moved on or departed, and we are no longer aligned or connected.

Recurring memories emerge with the
Memories from the past resurface and become present again with a

fear of darkness, a cool breeze down my spine.
sense of dread or unease, like a chill running down my back.

Lost moments blown away, let there be a sad mood!
The times and experiences that have been forgotten or taken away are a source of sorrow and melancholy.
