Friends That Used To Be
Adept Lyrics

Do you remember when we were kids?
Do you recall our childhood days?

We had innocence, we had it all figured out.
We possessed naivety and confidence in our knowledge.

We were the voice of a thousand
Together, we represented the power of a large group.

And we weren’t afraid to shout it out.
We expressed ourselves with pride and without fear.

We used to roam the street
We wandered the roads freely.

Not caring about the consequences.
Unconcerned with the outcomes of our actions.

But you brought poison to your life
You intentionally introduced harmful elements into your existence.

And you spread it to your veins.
Your actions affected you internally and led to additional harm.

Like the teeth from a vicious snake;
Similar to a snake's fangs, your habits became dangerous.

Your chemical disease.
The toxic substances you introduced became a sickness.

I know that that things got hard on you.
I understand that life became difficult for you.

You got in bed with the devil.
You allied yourself with evil or destructive forces.

I still remember us being young
I recall our youth fondly.

And so full of life.
We embodied vitality and energy.

So don’t close your eyes
Do not choose to be blind to the present.

‘Cause there is so much beauty
Because there is considerable wonder remaining.

Left for us to see.
Still available for us to witness.

And you must never be afraid
You should not be frightened.

To let go from the past.
To release yourself from past experiences or events.

You are a miracle, my friend.
You are a remarkable, unique being.

From now till the bitter end.
From this moment until the end, I will support you.

Life is the sand running
Life can be compared to grains of sand passing through an hourglass.

Through the hourglass.
Through the passage of time.

One grain at a time just passing through.
Each moment passes singularly and cannot be regained.

I know that everything takes time
I understand that all things require patience.

But in the end
Ultimately,

Time takes everything, just stay alive.
Time will eventually have an effect on all things, so it is crucial to remain alive as long as possible.

I hope that things will turn for you.
I have a desire for your circumstances to improve.

That you wake up from this nightmare.
That you recover from your current situation.

‘Cause I remember us being friends
Because I recall our past as friends.

And so full of love.
We shared a great deal of affection and camaraderie.

(Don’t forget who your friends are).
Remember the importance of your relationships with your friends.

From now till the bitter end.
I will be here for you until the very end.
