about
Written alongside Voyager for the LMM performance that started it all, Phantom was always meant to be a bit different from the rest of the album. Taking up a more introspective and pensive theme, this song might just be our strongest song yet, lyrically.
Ali Suhail really opened his heart out when writing the lyrics for these, and that can be felt in his vocal parts.
This also happens to be the second song in this album where Altamash Sever doesnt hesistate to unleash the demon within him.
Enough talk now. Go listen to this fucking track and share the fuck out of it.
A huge and very special shoutout to our brother @asfand157 for making such a beautiful lyric video for this track and to the legend @acid_toad for insanity that is the album artwork. 🔥
This song marks the beginning of the end of the Acrophase cycle. Saying this makes us kinda emotional but we’re glad to have seen this through with you guys and we can’t wait for you guys to experience what we have in store for the finale!
lyrics
Trying to find the courage to try to crack a smile
Trying to breathe the reasons, you fill your wings to fly
What's life to you?
Has there been life through you?
Help define the demons shapeless in my mind
Held against your treason consumed in the grime
We've died to you
You know we died through you
And all this time
I've been losing my mind
I've lost all of the pieces
I tossed to keep my way
I swear I've seen the way,
I've seen all of it,
I've been to the end,
I've seen truth
Why won't you,
Let me inside,
Let me inside,
Let me in your mind,
You can't find the way,
Or know what to say,
You won't know yourself
Without my hand.
Why won't you give yourself to me?
It's that time again
We're alive again
Just enough to feel this pain
Can't you see, my friend
Watch us die again
See us turn back into dreams
It's that time again
We're alive again
Just enough to feel this pain
Won't you see, my friend
Us into the end
See these faces changing into…
You… You fend for your will to survive
Tend to your dissonance
I'll humour your self righteous pantomime
You will run out of shapeless means to exorcise your demons
Through your vulgar displays of misery
Watch as the walls come crashing down
I've forgotten
I don't have the answers
We don't have to talk about it
We can end the song tonight
And I've forgotten
I don't have the answers
We don't have to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
(I’ve come to learn to accept my fate,
I've learned to like your goodbyes
I've come to learn to accept this change,
All your pain comes from when we try)
