Somehow
Woods of Desolation Lyrics

Grey visions of today
The singer sees everything in a dreary, hopeless manner.

Every sight the same
They feel stuck in a monotonous, unchanging existence.

I cannot break free
The singer is unable to escape their negative thoughts and emotions.

I think I'm gone
The artist feels as though they have lost themselves and their sense of identity.

As though I never wake
The artist feels as though they are stuck in a perpetual state of numbness or sleep.

Always drawn into descent
The singer feels constantly pulled down by their negative thoughts and feelings.

And my hope decays, just out of reach
The singer's hope for a better future is slowly fading away.

Cursed through life & condemned to misery
The artist feels as though they are fated to be unhappy and experience suffering.

To be left with nothing...
The artist feels as though they have lost everything and have nothing left to hold onto.

If only for a moment; a way out
The artist longs for a brief respite from their negative thoughts and feelings.

To see the faintest glimmer amongst the dark
The singer desires to find even the smallest bit of positivity within their bleak world.

To mend the broken dawn so bleak
The artist wishes to fix their shattered sense of hope for the future.

Somehow I think I'm gone
Despite their desire to find hope, the singer still feels lost and without direction.

But like ashes to the wind I will fade
The singer feels as though they will disappear, leaving nothing behind.

Nameless and Forgotten
The singer feels as though they will be completely overlooked and insignificant.

The thorn upon the withered rose
The artist feels like they are an obstacle or source of pain among a world that is already suffering.

Somehow I always knew...
The artist has always sensed that their life will be full of hardship and pain.
