Track 11 from Perfect Plane EP
Experimental acoustic for me.
Story behind the song
Well, the main premise that I was thinking about as I was writing the song was someone finding truth. Like the chorus goes: "We may not know..." and "When we surface" is signifying when the person realizes what is true.
Lyrics
As I climbed out of my hole
Beaten and tired, but still fighting
Hands full of things I'd found at the bottom floor
And I kept them like souvenirs
To vaguely remind me of those dark times
Maybe I'll learn where I shouldn't set my feet
Next time...
We may not know because we can't see
Blinded because we're buried deep
But when we surface... (there will be)
Something we'll gain and something we'll lose
Years ago, I found myself
Caught between two worlds I thought
I used to know
And so it seemed I was tied to two falling trees
They say these stabs should make you strong
But I found my path just got more steep
Just hung my head and let my heart dissolve
We may not know because we can't see
Blinded because we're buried deep
But when we surface (there will be)
Something we'll gain and something we'll lose
When we were
Unaware
We allowed these myths
To pull us up where knowledge lies
And what we saw there burned our eyes
So though we tried
We couldn't turn back
