Chaos Beyond - what does that mean? They do not know for sure themselves. But it definitely stands for fun on stage and passionate music. It all began in 2008 when Martin and Martin (confusing, isn't it?) had the weird idea to form a band. Since then, a lot has happened including genre, name and member changes. But where are they now? In the beginning of 2011 Chaos Beyond signed a record deal with Terrasound Records to release their debut album "Confessions Of A Twisted Mind". Be prepared. Chaos Beyond are making their way through the metal scene!

I Owe You Nothing
Chaos Beyond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you told me that you needed distance between us
I was petrified because I did not expect that you had the nerve to be so cold to me
You were just inconsiderate

Now it's out. It's over
You've ruined all I've felt for you
And I owe you nothing more than a cold goodbye, enough spoken
Now I do realize all the times we had were wasted

But I will not give up to show you that I'm not broken

Thank you for the pain you have caused in my heart but since I have heard that you suffer
I feel better now

No, I do not care for you. These times are gone
Leave me and get out of my sight

Now it's out. It's over
You've ruined all I've felt for you
And I owe you nothing more than a cold goodbye, enough spoken

Now I do realize all the times we had were wasted
But I will not give up to show you that I'm not broken

Can't you see you walk alone?
Solve your issues on your own

I will not forget that it was you who taught me how to hate

When you told me that you needed distance between us
I was shocked when you said you wanted space between us

I was petrified because I did not expect that you had the nerve to be so cold to me
Your sudden request for space scared me and I was surprised at how harsh you were being

You were just inconsiderate
Your lack of concern for my feelings was very upsetting

Now it's out. It's over
Our relationship is finished and there's no going back

You've ruined all I've felt for you
Your behavior destroyed all the positive emotions I had towards you

And I owe you nothing more than a cold goodbye, enough spoken
I don't owe you anything more than a brief, final goodbye

Now I do realize all the times we had were wasted
I now know that our time together was pointless

But I will not give up to show you that I'm not broken
I won't let your actions break me and I'll work to show you that I'm still strong

Thank you for the pain you have caused in my heart but since I have heard that you suffer
Although you caused me pain, I'm glad to hear that you're also hurting

I feel better now
Knowing that you're also struggling has given me some satisfaction

No, I do not care for you. These times are gone
I don't have any feelings for you anymore and our relationship is over

Leave me and get out of my sight
I want you to leave me alone and go away

Can't you see you walk alone?
You're on your own now and you need to figure things out for yourself

Solve your issues on your own
It's not my responsibility to help you with your problems anymore

I will not forget that it was you who taught me how to hate
I'll always remember that you were the one who caused me to feel hatred
