Our long awaited collaboration with Liz Enthusiasm from the synth pop sensation, Freezepop!
Rumblings of this collaboration have been happening since somewhere around 2010, when we reached out to the elusive vocalist to perform lyrics on an early demo of "Endure, Defend, Attack!". However the timing wasn't right and our fateful collaboration had to be put on hold... until now!
The lyrics were written from the perspective of a musician who could never fill the void of past members of their band who've since moved onto other projects. It's incredibly hard to find individuals who're ready to devote all their time, effort and passion into a project, and even rarer for such a collaboration to last forever. Looking back to what once was can be a wonderful experience, but sometimes the nostalgia can also lead to depressing thoughts of yearning for the feelings of the past.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here I am
Out on my own again
Focus is
Fading away
Here I am
feeling so numb again
fading (fading)
Why couldn't it stay the same?
[Chorus]
Because this couldn't be around forever
I wonder, does it feel the same to you? (To you)
Are these memories long forgotten?
Or just fragments of the truth?
[Verse 2]
Life goes on
Yet still I find myself
Reaching back
To return to you
Life goes on
So far ahead of me
Still I (Still I)
Feel it ends to soon
[Chorus]
Because this couldn't be around forever
I wonder, does it feel the same to you? (To you)
Are these memories torn asunder?
Mere fragments of the truth
[Chorus]
Because this couldn't be around forever
(Can you feel it when you play our records?)
I wonder, does it feel the same to you? (To You)
Are these memories long forgotten?
(Are they fact or are they fiction?)
Or just fragments of the truth?
