Salvation
The New Addiction Lyrics

Head down and daylight fades to black
Feeling depressed as the day ends, unable to lift up your head and find hope in the darkness.

Moving forward but can't help looking back
Trying to move on from the past, but feeling the weight of it on your shoulders, making it difficult to let go.

And we were certain that nothing would ever change
A feeling of hopelessness, believing that everything will always stay the same.

Behind the curtain, we fell behind, to never be the same
Hiding behind a facade, but realizing that you're not the same person anymore and can never go back to who you were before.

Salvation, this is goodbye my darling
Finding redemption and letting go of someone or something that has been holding you back.

The memory that will not leave has stayed past its welcome
Feeling haunted by a memory that has overstayed its welcome and caused too much pain.

I will remember you but, you say i'm lost it's true and
Acknowledging that someone you once knew may see you as lost or changed for the worse, but still holding onto the memory of them.

Surrender me and take this crown of thorns that i've become
Giving up and asking for help to rid yourself of the burden you carry and the pain you feel, becoming a new version of yourself.

A new year, we better make this last
Feeling a sense of urgency to make the most out of a new year and not waste time or opportunities.

A sympathetic ear, is all that i will ask
Needing someone to listen and understand the struggles you're facing without judgment or criticism.

It's all a new game that no one seems to win
Seeing life as a never-ending game where no one truly succeeds or wins.

And with a new name, to break these chains, free me from my sins
Needing to shed your old identity and start anew, to break free from the chains that have kept you stuck in the past.
