Desolate
Creatures Lyrics

Awoken to nightmares to my dismay
The singer wakes up to a reality that is unpleasant and causes them distress.

But I'm still here, at least today.
Despite their struggles, the singer has managed to endure and survive another day.

Nothing's changed, I'm still empty inside
Despite getting up each day, the singer feels unfulfilled on the inside.

I cling to my thoughts, left at my side
The artist holds on tightly to their innermost feelings and emotions, because that is all they have left.

Will I make it out alive, will I reach the end
The artist fears for their own survival, questioning if they will ever find peace and security.

Of the tunnel promising safety from the demons in my head (in my head)
The singer imagines a tunnel that can take them away from the troubles plaguing their thoughts.

I can't remember the last time I cried
The singer feels emotionally numb and has lost touch with their own emotions.

Or felt fulfillment in my life
The artist has never experienced true satisfaction or contentment.

I watched the world grow cold through these empty eyes
The artist sees society becoming more and more indifferent to the suffering of others.

And felt it diminish with the sands of time
The artist perceives that society is changing for the worse, as time passes by.

I felt them take you from me
The singer experienced someone close to them being taken away, possibly dying or leaving.

I felt your release from my hands
The artist senses that they were unable to protect the person they loved, that they are gone like sand slipping through their fingers.

I curse a god that's refused to be
The singer is resentful towards a deity or greater power that they feel has denied them any type of help or salvation.

A sacrifice to man
The idea of a greater force intervening or offering themselves as an offering in order to better serve humanity is raised.

I'll still be here
The singer will continue to persist, despite the unfortunate circumstances they find themselves in.

Roaming the world for what I'll never own
The artist wanders aimlessly, chasing after things that they feel they will never be able to achieve or attain.

It will only cause me grief
The artist realizes that their pursuits and attempts at finding happiness will ultimately end in more pain and sorrow.

And I'll still be left alone
Despite all effort, the singer will still be without anyone to truly connect with or love.

No matter where I go
The singer has come to realize that their problems and sense of isolation will follow them wherever they may go.

I look around and see I'm still alone
The artist discovers that no matter their surroundings or circumstances, they remain isolated and distanced from the world around them.

I'll never make it out alive, I'll never reach the end
The artist's lack of hope for a better future is highlighted as they feel their life is endless suffering, with no way out.

Of the tunnel promising safety from the demons in my head
The idea of a tunnel that can serve to relieve them of their miseries is once again presented.

All I ever wanted was just to be content
The singer's sole desire is to find contentment, but this hope remains unfulfilled.

All I've ever loved became dust in the wind
The things and people that the artist once held dear or loved have subsequently disappeared and have turned to nothing more than distant memories.
