lyrics

Not a lot of people truly know about or how to deal with depression. It’s not their fault, depression is really a subject that can only be understood with experience, but I think I can speak for everyone who’s been through it when I say that they’d never wish it on any human.

Without needlessly going into too much detail, I think I can safely call the summer of 2008 the ‘darkest’ part of my short life, a time or state of mind I never wish to return back to.

The main riff for this song was written in this time. I messed around with it quite a few times, I even wrote lyrics to it, but never did anything with it, not sure how to release it or how it would be taken by the outside world.
However, recent times have made me view the tune in a different light. Yes – it is a reflection of how I was in the world at that time, but it is also a monument to how I came through that time, a monument to an appreciation of the world around me that I really don’t believe I would have otherwise. A monument to what I have achieved since.

The biggest meaning of this song is that it is a monument to the people that helped me in that time, with special thanks to my brother and friend at the time. The world is full of beautiful people & small good deeds which aren't even noticed. We're very privileged to be alive on this planet, me & you have overtaken the untold trillions of potential humans who could have been born, I'm glad I realise this.
