Prelude
M. Sakarias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find I'm always drawn to pain in hopes I'll find love
Sometimes, I feel like I'm chained to hopeless destiny
Like I've been cursed from the stars above
Long ago, I was approached by the phantom
And dove into what would become my darkest hour
Now, I have chosen a path intended to free me from the darkest of crevices
And propel me to the brightest of stars; the saga begins
As I replay those nights
Slowly losing my mind
I just wonder sometimes
Why do I think about you, girl
Why do I feel so empty inside
My mind repressed those nights
Haunted by all your words
You loved me out of spite
You never loved me, girl
Back in and out my life
When you and him wasn't right, damn
Tell me why, oh why would I still try
In the dimness of the night
I'd slip away to the moonlit beaches
And as I gazed upon the starry night
I'd be searching for you
I'd be searching for you
Why did I try to hold onto your lies
All those days and those nights
When I dried off my eyes
I would wonder sometimes
Why would I think about you, girl
Why would I feel so empty inside
Why, oh why do I think 'bout you
Why, oh why can't I
Why do I form toxic 'tachments
Wishing they'd turn right
One day, I'll let go your memories and your lies
All your curses, your guise
When you cursed me those nights
I would wonder sometimes
Why would I think about you, girl
Why would I still try to be your world
Do you remember those times
Do you remember those nights; 'cause I do
Do you remember that time
Do you remember why you would fail to move on
Do you remember those times
Do you remember those nights; yes, I do
Yes, I remember those times
But I don't remember why
Why did I end up like this
Why do I endure suffering to find love

Empty sight full of salty tears
My vision is blurry with tears from the sadness I feel inside
Come to me, into my eyes
Look into my eyes and see the pain that I am feeling
Born from what's really been
My emotions are a result of what I have truly experienced in life
My life is full, full of empty days
Although I am alive, I feel that each day is meaningless and empty
Silence like melody
The complete absence of noise is like a beautiful sound to me
Come to me, into my eyes
I am asking you to empathize with me and understand my struggle
Concert you cannot hear
My internal struggles and pain is like a performance that no one can truly hear or understand
My life is full, full of empty days
Despite having all the material things in life, I feel that my life lacks purpose and fulfillment
