about

The title of the track is taken from the closure of “Journey at the end of the night” by Louis Ferdinand Cèline. The meaning of the song revolves around the novel of the french writer and his suggestions: departures, returns, breaking ups, the desperate journey at the end of the night and at the end of ourselves, create the right mood in order to reach the climax and ending the album. As Cèline would say: “don’t talk about this anymore”.

lyrics

I was close, now i know it’s gone
And closer would not be enough
I’m sure you know this…

I
NEED TO BREAK OUT
NOW
FROM THIS MISERY
WE ALL NEED A CHANCE
TO REDEEM OURSELF
WE ARE NOT RESOLVED
WE MUST REACH THE END
ALL WE NEED IS

FIGHT
YOUR FEARS
‘TIL
THEY DISAPPEAR

KEEP
YOUR FLAME
LIT
TO RISE ABOVE

TAKE
YOUR MIND
AS
YOUR BEST STRENGHT

‘CAUSE
ALL THAT
RISE
MUST CONVERGE

(chorus)
So, we’re changing and all is fading
All we had is slowly falling away (falling away)


(lento)
Hold, just a bit, what it takes to feel warm
‘cause being born, like he said, it was wrong
So, we will never meet again
what’s begun now have to come to an end
So, we will never smile again
No one ever will pretend, to feel safe

I’m sick and tired
It’s death or lies

Can we escape?
Can we…
Go reach the end of all
Rip all the things off
Wash this night away
Until the end of us
[L] ‘till the end of all
[A] ‘till the end of us
[L] ‘till the end of all
[A] ‘till the end…

ALL WE WANT IS TRY TO REACH THE END
WAIT THE TIME WHEN WE’LL MEET AGAIN
(end)
Now we’re standing,
Now we’re standing in line
No one’s safe and
No one escape the design
All is lost now,
all is lost in the time
