Cries and Whispers
New Order Lyrics

Below the surface, this day, I need it light
Today feels heavy and oppressive, and I crave the lightness that comes with clarity and understanding.

Inside dimension, lies another sacrifice
There is a hidden, deeper reality that requires us to make sacrifices in order to access it.

Once out of reach, we never speak, we never compromise
When we cannot have what we want, we tend to shut down and avoid any sort of negotiation or middle ground.

As they turned to gold, the edges froze, it seemed to turn to ice
Even things that seem valuable and precious can become cold and unyielding, losing their original appeal.

All flight departures, assembled, returned
People may leave, but they often end up coming back to where they started.

Left in these passions, I looked but never learned
Despite being deeply invested in something, it is possible to glean nothing of value from the experience.

There's hope, you've heard, there's life in another world
There is always the possibility of something better, or a different path to take.

Sometimes you'll find that truth is never kind
The truth can be harsh and difficult, and can cause pain or hurt to those who hear it.

In the ghost lies a portrait of space that time is never here
Memories offer glimpses into who people used to be and places that no longer exist, but always out of reach due to the ever-changing nature of time.

In the mind of a fallen man, a new day in another land
Even in difficult times, there is always the possibility of a fresh start or a new beginning somewhere else.

Ship sails out to sea, away from me, I just stand and stare
Sometimes it can feel like life is moving on without us, leaving us behind to watch it go by.

Assassin clears his hands, I know that and I wasn't even there
Sometimes it feels like there is an unseen force that is responsible for misfortune, even if we cannot see it or understand it.

One day it came to mind, we even leave the rest behind
At some point, we all have to forge ahead and let go of whatever we are holding onto in order to move onto the next chapter of our lives.

Some day, I know you get where you should go
Eventually, things will work out and people will end up where they are meant to be.

There's hope, you've heard, there's life in another world
Despite the struggles and pains of the present moment, there is always a possibility for something better in the future.

Sometimes you'll find that truth is never kind
The truth can cut deep and cause pain, even when it is necessary to hear and face it.
