Faceless
My Autumn Lyrics

We're all plunged into our selfishness
We are all deeply immersed in our own self-centeredness

Consider that we are perfect in all
We believe ourselves to be flawless in every regard

And we don't notice our careless mistakes
We are oblivious to the careless mistakes we make, day in and day out

Our careless mistakes day after day
Our sloppy errors continue, day in and day out

There was a guy, who never missed a party
There was once a man who never missed a social gathering

He wanted to be special, like an idol for his friends
He wished to be perceived as unique and idolized by his acquaintances

He thought that he was different from the others
He believed himself to be unlike anyone else

From a dozen thousand faceless people
Out of thousands of anonymous individuals like himself

He looked so perfect, but inside
He appeared flawless to others, but within himself...

One more soul that's not alive
...he lacked any real vitality or enthusiasm for life

It is so hard to find a personality around
It's difficult to find anyone with a truly distinct personality nowadays

An empty heart is now the symbol of our days
An apathetic, indifferent spirit now pervades our modern age

We're all so special, but we forgot in what
We're convinced of our uniqueness without really knowing what makes us special

We show off with things that cost nothing at all
We flaunt meaningless, valueless possessions

Trying to catch up with the fame
We pursue fame with an intense sense of urgency

We lose the real meaning of our lives
We lose sight of the true purpose and significance of our existence

A new night's coming after day
Each new day brings an incoming night

He is always at a party
He is perpetually present at parties and social events

But he becomes a friend
Yet he finds himself without any genuine friends

A close friend to nobody
No one holds him in true friendship and regard

'Cause everybody sees
As everyone around him can see...

The emptiness within
...he is fundamentally empty inside

What kind of future will await us
What kind of future will we find ourselves in?

How will the other generations live?
What kind of life will future generations lead?

While a gorgeous image costs much more than a soul
While an appealing outward appearance comes at a higher cost than a genuine soulful spirit

Than your soul that is crippled from inside
More valuable than a spirit that is oppressed with inner afflictions

You need to know
It is essential that you understand...

That after death your clothes will fade without a trace
...that after you die, your possessions will hold no meaning or value

And nothing will remind that you were here
And the world will be indifferent to the fact that you ever existed

In case you don't perform the little deeds
Unless you carry out small acts of kindness and compassion during your lifetime

And therefore stay in humans' minds and hearts
...and so reside in the memory and love of others
