about

This song deals with a separation Pierre had to face during the album process. We’ll might all face that someday, but experiencing and living that; being catch by the emotions and their impact, is not the same as just knowing it happens.



This was the last song written and it was an evidence to deal with that pain feeling.


We were looking for another cool screaming singer, a bit more aggressive, and we’re so happy CJ accepted to collaborate with us. We were blown away when we received his message confirming that. It happened during another lockdown period in France, we were into a Skype video call with the band to brainstorm by our side, when we received the confirmation. Our new drummer Prosper was just joining the band and we were into a cool creative process. That was definitely a crazy news to us !

CJ brought us dreamful positive vibes. He is an iconic Metal singer and we still feel privileged to got him with us. He recorded insane vocals.

It feels crazy and cool we’ve managed to put two strong opposite emotions in the same tracks. This song is divided in two, the first part more loud, then the outtro express more sadness, also expressed by the keyboards and the melodies.
We’ve got a group of feminine singers that bring softness and it seemed that’s what we exactly need when we cross this darkness feels!

lyrics

Buried deep in my own nightmare and live in the darkness
I wish embers stain my body to make the tears disappear


Empty like nothingness, Like a first death, I’m feeling Hollow
My head is bleeding and now, I’m chocking, I can’t breathe


I suffocate under the blow of pain
I can’t hide my grief
When the night fall and we are alone, should we act like strangers?

Should we have suffered to feel each other?
I always knew how it would end
There’s nowhere to go, I’ve never known this pain
I always knew how it would end

Sometimes I feel like
I need the worst times to miss each other again
I let the rain dry the sadness that flows on my skin
How can I still be alive? With a blade through my soul
(CJ McMahon part)

With my shakin’ hands, smother the candle
Blowing so slowly, the wind takes last word
