Tracing Fate
Another Direction Lyrics

The winding path never ends and no-one really knows where it started
Life is an unpredictable journey with no clear beginning, end, or purpose.

But these nights are so long, they soon into one
The hardships we face at night blend together, making each day feel never-ending.

As neon lights flash "The End Is Nigh"
Signs of doom and gloom are all around us, but they are often ignored.

They've seen it a thousand times before
People have faced similar struggles and tragedies in the past, but they continue to happen.

But still they follow blindly, thinking that...
Despite past failures, people still cling to the hope that things will change for the better.

Maybe this time is the one
Perhaps this time things will turn out differently and success will finally be achieved.

Maybe this time...but it never is
Despite hope and determination, things often don't work out as planned.

The exit signs are coated in red, bludgeoning everyone
Escape and salvation seem within reach, but the path to get there is filled with bloodshed and pain.

Everyone tries to leave here, but no-one's ever the same
People may physically leave a place or situation, but the emotional and mental effects stay with them forever.

You never change, but your world has become forced apart
While a person may remain the same, the world around them can change drastically, causing a rift between them and their surroundings.

The lines all trace back the same way, but everyone denies their fate
Despite life's cyclical nature, people often refuse to accept that their fate is predetermined and out of their control.

Hope is all we have left, and it's fading so fast we're barely hanging on
Hope is the last thread keeping us from giving up, but even that is quickly unraveling in the face of overwhelming obstacles.

We rise, only to fall again, but still we're struggling on now
Despite repeated failures, we continue to push forward and fight against the odds.

The horizon never seemed so far away, but we can reach it if we try
Success may seem impossible and distant, but with perseverance and effort, it can be attained.

It's slowly drifting away from us, a never ending goodbye.
However, success may prove elusive and constantly out of reach, causing a never-ending sense of loss and disappointment.
