Remember all those words not meant to be said. Is there a reason in me why not to forget? You know that me and you, dark secrets to let go. And all the obstacles, unspoken words, unable to do so. Remember all good times far from innocence. Preventing all the time, causing all the consequence. I gave you my everything! This moment now replaced, all the feeling just untrue, show me, how to forget and not give up on you!
2.
We all tell lies and make mistakes. It`s a human nature!
3.
Lifelines 01:31
Everything you should let it go, and anything you could never show. Everything or anything, don’t live just to regret switching in »the system of forgive and forget«! More or less (your) life depends just on you. Consciousness! Believe in what you do. Keep on fighting for a life with no regrets, hold on tight and never loose your grasp, it’s one life, a single shot … Your life lies still at the end of a gun and it looks like a silent night waiting for the sun; can be all of that you`ve never done!
4.
In this crooked world of merciless deceit, there is no salvation... Guys like you like to hide, the truth behind their eyes and think we cannot see trough your disguise. I never understood what you we`re trying to prove. Is it hard to be yourself? No more manipulation, No more pathetic smiles. In your ways there is no redemption. Is it hard to let go, pain of rejection? It is all just a chemical reaction. You are waiting for divine intervention. Who gave you a reason to do that, and a reason to look away? A reason to fail the other day? Wait for me no more. You must find your own shore. Don’t ask me anymore. Is there the pain you feel? Ideas you can steal. Your life starts for real. Hope you will find out what are you searching for… Hope you will find a reason why not to go away. Should be a good reason to start another day.
5.
Sinking ship 02:11
What are we thinking? This ship has started sinking and we are going nowhere. But our eyes tell a different story. Showing us in our glory. How it makes me feel? Is this happening for real? Our decisions are so wrong. Put me out of my misery in a place I don’t want to be. Don’t wait for too long. Choose between the lesser of two evils, moral outcome is uneven! Politics forcing us a resolution, we’re left in a confusion.
6.
Paper prison 01:56
Empty place inside my bones, tired of this hollow room. Vacant hands, no inspiration, stranded in this lonely doom. Another dive in this bitter truth... All your chances slipped away, along with your youth. You’ve been deceived and misguided! They’re all waiting for your fall! Numbered weighted and divided - The writing is there on the wall! What am I supposed to do with all this time? Just sleep forever? Suppress this heavy burden away, for another day! So cast aside your dark past, and let it go, before it consumes you, break from this paper prison today.
7.
We are here with futures in doubt. How to solve it we should figure it out. Our beloved world can be unkind and all of its beauty can be left behind. Walk with me through a dream, like then in autumn when I turned fifteen. Bore me to tears; confirmed my fears. Sing me to sleep; I will not watch you leave. We rise! We fall! Either we rise or we fall, we feel the pain that we can’t ignore and not having what we are looking for…
8.
Salty tears and taste of (your) skin, that’s why I took you in because no one loves you anyway. I watched your borders disappear and you can’t control your fear that no one loves you anyway. Left your pain at the battlefield with wounds already healed and no one loves you anyway. Your pride can be just a fear. There are ways it can disappear because no one loves you anyway. All the time you talked the talk but never walked the walk. You need to change. From woods to the trail. We both know you would likely fail. Please rearrange. The door is open wide, but what is on the other side? You should decide!
9.
Like waterfall when you are off the wall. Just something to be strong for things you adore shouldn’t mean nothing at all. So you need to calm down, just turn your head around, because life is way too short! If only you could know those weeds will overgrow. WE ARE ALL ABOARD!
10.
We struggled through the week, now Friday is here at last. Out of the lifeless factory, shake away the dust. Leave behind the worries if only for a day, the world from up here doesn’t seem so grey. We’ve got all the reasons to go against the tide! A liberating feeling that’s growing deep inside, we’re bound to take back our pride! (40.3 million people estimated in modern slavery, 10 million children, 24.9 million forced into labour, 15.4 million forced into marriage, 4.8 million forced into sexual exploitation)
11.
And going back to same old verse, writing words track by track. It makes me sad, it makes me worse with your knife in my back. And we know I am angry about the things I can not stand. In some case, some punches will land. My heart feels tired and heavy but it is still pounding steady. In todays fucked up diabolic scene, I feel always ready. But we know who is nowadays selling self-control. It is you who wants to settle the score. In every trial, on every test let your heart control the rest. Became a person you want to be, with the heart that beats independently.
12.
Just go alone away this time I will wait for you (here) at home. In the peace, you will find what you need. All alone! … and then come around you will know where to find me. Sometimes the way I get my thoughts are bit too cloudy. And from inside I always knew that I belong to you. In my life, there are some darker days, without knowing why to live for or what to feel?
13.
Giving promises just like him. There’s where I begin. All the lies and shifting of the blame. There’s where I remain. Asking me what you need. Is not following my lead. No bringing everything to your knees. It is always your disease. Take a stand and shatter indecision, save the world just by watching television. On and on pretandance and deception. It’s really time for a different direction.
14.
No one`s own 02:41
It was a lonely life she chose to herself. She had seen so many people leave, she wanted no more grief. Every defeat really makes you stronger somehow. Hoping that the dots will connect just before sundown. Some day you’ll get tired of the same routine. Life just ain’t like the ones pictured in a magazine. And finally realised, she’s responsible of her own fate. Decided life just couldn’t wait. Don’t want to be controlled, don’t want to depend on anyone ever again!

about

As all of Harry`s songs in last 3 albums (Clowns and monkeys, Dead city system and this one), anyone can understand lyrics differently. There are no right or wrong ways. This lyrics can be about an argument between partners, friends, lovers ... although on this album lyrics are about dealing with your mind, thoughts, feelings, fears … of an adult person in mid-thirties. ( P.s.: All Harry members are in thirties ;) )

Few people, who had chance to listen songs in phase of mixing them, were surprised about the dark side of songs lyrics. But that is life we are living. When shit gets real.
