Transitions
Wither Away Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The feeling you get, when the ones that you love could leave in an instance
And what do you have left?
Broken love, a series of regrets
I'm trying to hold on, to moments I know that I can't prolong today
But be real with me, I can't see your face in this misery

God I'm feeling so distant
I've been hurt by the lies, I've been hurt by the system
But my heart remains pure without acting in the name of yours
I'm feeling so sure though it's a blur!
I know it's more than the life I live
I know it's more than the lack of my sins
I know it's more than the things I do or the things I say, but without you

Will I still be the same?

I've been trying to find my way to you
But you've been quiet since
But I can feel inside that there is more to life
Than living just in vain

I've been trying to break my obsession with dying and lying
About who I am, that someone has a plan
And I've been trying to break my obsession with dying and lying
About who I am, that there is plan for me, I am no one

Suicide, the answer to no questions, a big lie, life is sometimes precious
Suicide, the answer to no questions, a big lie, life is something precious

But why?

I've been trying to find my way to you
But you've been quiet since
But I can feel inside that there is more to life
Than living just in vain

And when I meet life's end, I'll see my family and friends
Standing at the gate of heavens bend as I perpetually descend!

God I'm sorry, I am sorry
Prove to me that I'm worth it
This is the freest I've felt since you left me decide on my own
I want to feel you though

maliceplus

I don’t understand how they aren’t signed, you guys would smash on fearless or pure noise. I’ve been following you guys the moment I heard sentiment and I fell in love. I want this band to grow and prosper.

MysticWolfMusic

I swear this channel posts the best music. Thanks for helping me discover some of the bands that are now some of my favourites.

RobbieH

IMO, this band is the most promising band currently producing music, every song they release is beautiful, and I can only hope they stick with it and I will always support them as long as they play music they love. Every member is phenomenal in their role and as a vocalist the vocals blow my mind and as a lover of drums in particular, the drummer is outstanding always. The melodies presented and the progressions in the songs always build incredible tension and emotion that not many artists can. Peace
