Chasing Apparitions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For which I dwell upon
There is no way to be saved
From this mandatory change
What will I do
Where will I go
Where will I go
We're falling faster into the abyss
Just a chapter of a cycle that never ends
When you bring me up and you put me down
Why does it have to be this way
Just endless suffering
And I have no words to say
For what will come over me
I can't believe my eyes
Cause all I see is red
I wonder when I'll be the one who ends up dead
Take me away from this place
All the waking nights I lie afraid to death
Just to know that one day I'll cease to exist
What do I do
Where do I go
I know that it's meant to be
But I can't face tragedy
You bring me up
Then put me down
And I can't take this so leave me be
I'm just counting down the days
For which I dwell upon
There is no way to be saved
From this mandatory change
What will I do
Where will I go
Where will I go
Take me away from this place
Cause I can't sleep at night
Knowing that the end is near
I know the end is near
But I can't face it
And I don't know what to do
It's like I'm fighting against myself to survive
And all you do is throw me to the wolves
So what's the point
So tell me what's the point
I know that it's meant to be
But I can't face tragedy
You bring me up
Then put me down
And I can't take this so leave me be
So tell me what's the point
What will I do
Where will I go
Where will I go

From this mandatory change
Death is an unavoidable transformation
What will I do

Just a chapter of a cycle that never ends
Death is a recurring part of life
When you bring me up and you put me down
Life's ups and downs are fleeting compared to death
Why does it have to be this way
Why is death an unavoidable part of existence?
Just endless suffering
Death brings eternal pain and sorrow
And I have no words to say
I'm at a loss for how to express my fear and grief
For what will come over me
I don't know what awaits me in death
I can't believe my eyes
The reality of death is hard to accept
Cause all I see is red
Death feels violent and harsh
I wonder when I'll be the one who ends up dead
I'm constantly aware that death can come at any moment
Take me away from this place
I wish to escape the fear and pain of death
All the waking nights I lie afraid to death
I spend countless nights in terror of dying
Just to know that one day I'll cease to exist
The thought of nonexistence is terrifying
I know that it's meant to be
I understand that death is a natural part of life
But I can't face tragedy
I'm not emotionally equipped to handle death
You bring me up
Life can be joyful and fulfilling
Then put me down
But death looms over everything
And I can't take this so leave me be
I feel overwhelmed and need to be alone
So tell me what's the point
I question the purpose of life and death
I know the end is near
I'm aware that death will come soon
But I can't face it
I'm not ready to accept my mortality
And I don't know what to do
I'm unsure of how to prepare for death
It's like I'm fighting against myself to survive
My instinct for self-preservation conflicts with my awareness of mortality
And all you do is throw me to the wolves
The world seems callous and indifferent to my suffering
Where will I go
I'm uncertain of what comes after death
