Wastlands

Wastelands

---

This song made me cry even before I read the lyrics. The emotion is so strong!

Vocals

The vocal has a distant feeling, but it is full of passion and desperation, with a ring of hope. It works nicely!

Music

The music moves together as a flowing element but still has great contrast. Beautiful! I think it was the right length, even though it left me wanting more.

 Lyrics

This song has that strong sense of realization that you haven't done what you needed to, thought of another person, gave yourself love, thought of your impact. Now, as you look at the consequences, you feel such a deep sense of regret and sadness. There is still a flicker of hope behind this because being aware is the first step in change.

A heavy wing lifts no more.
A tired body no longer soars.

We're in an endless coma.
Lower your eyes
and hold your breath,
can you feel the ashes
falling through thin air?
This is not what we've hoped for -
but we knew it all.
