Brand X Lyrics

When time cast away with you
I fell the prism on my broken life
Same mind same heart but different me
Im no more what i used to be someday
When time cast away with you
I fell the prism on my broken life
Im no more what i used to be someday
Bridge
Nothing can despise me now
Knowing you revive my law
Nothing can change the way i fell
Your the only one for me lord
Give me a chance for one more day
Because i fell alive in this way
Lord give me a strength for one more day
Because i fell alive in this way
Here i find my strength to stay
An as i rise from ashes to the sky
I remember when our ways drifted apart
It was′n hard for me to hold on regret
An every hour seems so cold
Without you by my side
Nothing can change the way i fell
Your the only one for me lord
Give me a chance for one more day
Because i fell alive in this way
Lord give me a chance for one more day
Because i fell alive in this way
Here i find my strength to stay
An as i rise from ashes to the sky
Solo...
Nothing can change the way i fell
Your the only one for me lord
Give me a chance for one more day
Because i fell alive in this way
Lord give me a strength for one more day
Because i fell alive in this way
Here i find my strength to stay
An as i rise from ashes to the sky

The lyrics of Brand X's song "April" delve into themes of change, growth, and resilience in the face of hardship. The singer reflects on a transformative experience where time spent with someone has altered their perspective and sense of self. The use of the metaphor "prism on my broken life" suggests that this encounter has allowed the singer to see their life in a new light, perhaps refracted through different emotions and experiences, leading to a shift in their identity.
The repetition of the lines "Same mind same heart but different me / I'm no more what I used to be someday" underscores the idea of personal evolution and the inevitability of change. The singer acknowledges that they are no longer the same person they once were, hinting at a journey of self-discovery and growth that has been spurred on by this connection with another person.
The bridge brings a sense of renewal and hope, as the singer expresses gratitude for the transformative influence of this individual. The lines "Nothing can despise me now / Knowing you revive my law" suggest that this person has brought a sense of purpose and vitality back into the singer's life, helping them to find strength and resilience in the face of challenges.
The concluding verses touch upon themes of loss and longing, as the singer reminisces about a time when they felt adrift and alone. The repeated plea for "one more day" and the assertion that this person is the only one for them showcases the deep emotional impact of their connection. The imagery of rising "from ashes to the sky" evokes a sense of rebirth and transcendence, as the singer finds the inner strength to move forward and embrace their newfound sense of self.

Alive
Feeling rejuvenated and full of life
When time cast away with you
When time separates us
I fell the prism on my broken life
I see the complexity of my shattered life
Same mind same heart but different me
My thoughts and feelings remain the same, but I have changed
Im no more what i used to be someday
I am no longer who I used to be in the past
Nothing can despise me now
I am no longer filled with self-hatred
Knowing you revive my law
Your presence revitalizes my beliefs
Lord give me a strength for one more day
I ask for strength to face another day
Because i fell alive in this way
Because I feel alive in this moment
Here i find my strength to stay
I discover the inner strength to persevere
An as i rise from ashes to the sky
And as I emerge from hardship to triumph
I remember when our ways drifted apart
I recall the time when we grew distant
It wasn’t hard for me to hold on regret
I didn't struggle to cling to regret
An every hour seems so cold
And every moment feels chilly
Without you by my side
In your absence

I like the description as much as the track. I used to listened to this in my backyard during the summer in Upstate New York while working on the yard and garden. Yea, "a summer feeling is finally triggered."
