Droom played select shows around north america, but continued to spend the majority of their time on writing and recording new material. When "128 ½ days" was released it charted on many online and college radio charts in north america and around the globe. It also received glowing reviews from many critics.
Finding doors repeatedly slammed in their faces by the established music machine, Droom decided to pave it’s own way in order to bring their music to their fans. When they felt that they had recorded enough material to comprise a 2nd full length album, Droom formed their own record label to release their future material in north america and signed a deal with Black Flames records to release and promote their music in Europe.

Droom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like there's nothing left to say
walk away
like it doesn't mean a thing
leave me cold
from your icy gaze
your heart of snow
leave me cold
don't even try
to look my way
lose me in the crowds
don't even try
hide yourself away
cover your face
with all the empty things you say
with all the wasted days
that I gave
who'll be the one
to chase the ghosts away?
who'll bring you flowers
and place them on your grave?
who'll be the one
to hold on to your name?
who'll be the one
to take my place?

The singer is left wondering who will take their place and hold onto their former partner's memory.

walk away
Leave without a word
like there's nothing left to say
As if nothing needs to be said
walk away
Come out of my life without a fuss
like it doesn't mean a thing
As if our relationship did not matter
leave me cold
My heart feels numb
from your icy gaze
The cold look in your eyes
your heart of snow
Your heart is cold as snow
leave me cold
My heart is heavy with sorrow
leave me cold
My heart is broken
don't even try
Don't waste your time
to look my way
To draw my attention
lose me in the crowds
Disappear into the throng of people
don't even try
Don't make an effort
hide yourself away
Go into hiding
cover your face
Mask your emotions
with all the empty things you say
With your hollow words
with all the wasted days
With all the lost time
that I gave
That I sacrificed
who'll be the one
Who will step up
to chase the ghosts away?
To banish the spirits that haunt us?
who'll bring you flowers
Who will give you flowers
and place them on your grave?
And lay them on your final resting place?
who'll be the one
Who will have the courage
to hold on to your name?
To remember your legacy?
who'll be the one
Who will take my place
to take my place?
When I have gone?
