Ending Theme
Pain of Salvation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And so I find myself here once again
First step down remedy lane
Budapest you tore my world apart, well, here I am
Worn with rope ends on my mind, torn with blood scarred in my eyes
But now I'm back to shake that from my life

Ending theme, ending theme
Ripping at the seams, for an opening

Back again at deak ter
I know I could have left her there
It was the feeling of leaving myself that I could not bear
The same old hotel room in pest one night before the sziget fest
Hungarian princess will you share my rest?
To rest in my

Ending theme
Ending theme
Ripping at the seams, for an opening

To be honest I don't know what I'm looking for, who to be
Sitting here as once before, weeks ago
Just waiting for a knock on that door
And I have left all I thought was me to find out, to make sure if it was you or me
That made me feel so free and real, but when we kiss I don't know, I just don't know
'Cause it leaves a taste of emptiness, and I think what if I'm simply depressed?
blind, just finding rest from my mind here in Budapest?
Confusing zest with the joy of being blessed with the bliss of self-escape as we kiss?
And mixing my being unstressed with your being undressed and the taste of being true
With the fresh taste of me and you as we touch? I don't know
But I saw so much of me in you, the me I've missed, the young and free in you
But still, that doesn't mean a thing, may not mean anything about my needing you
But I guess we had to meet, to be near, to make sure, and still my dear
Beyond this bed and that door, to be honest, I fear I just don't know

Ending theme
Ending theme
Fanning flames to dreams of belonging
Ending theme
Ending theme
Ripping at the seams, for an opening





To be honest I don't know what I'm looking for
Lying here, watching you leave through that door

Overall Meaning

He reflects on his mixed emotions, feeling confused about what he is looking for, but still driven to move forward.


The song expresses a deep sense of restlessness and searching, with heart-wrenching lyrics about leaving oneself behind and seeking a connection with others. The references to a hotel room and a Hungarian princess lend an air of mystery, while the repeated refrain of "ending theme" emphasizes the feeling that this search may be coming to a close.


The chorus "Ripping at the seams, for an opening" reinforces the belief of trying to break through the barriers that life has put in front of you and finding the direction towards your destiny. It's a powerful song that speaks from a personal place but still has relevance and resonates with audiences far beyond its borders.

How it is possible that I missed this band until now (2021) I have no idea. This is amazingly cool stuff!

Rex Pythonissam

I found this song in 2014

Bruno Leão

Better late than sorry

Trobriand el esencias

Love this album, still have my CD copy

Johnny Josefsen

This song gives me a strong The Elder Scrolls: Arena vibe, it kinda reminds me of one of the songs in that game. Don´t remember if its because the melody is similar or if it´s just the atmosphere. Regardless, this is awesome stuff.

Nathalia Tavares Jacob

Silvestre Neto

@Bruno Leão Hj em dia querer puxar uma conversa é ser gado... geração lixo
