about

On a much broader scale, in life it seems as though people are brought up to believe that they must abandon some of their dreams and ambitions to work lousy jobs for lousy pay and eventually fall into an inescapable rut. New Exiles is a song that takes note of this destiny and the dangers of following this pathway, because really at the end of your life the only thing you want to remember is the memories of the times you spent and shared with friends and friends.

lyrics

Farewell.
The days just seem to lapse by and by,
Hiding the world from my sad eyes,
We’re all just ants living lives of denial,
Hold onto hope when it’s not worthwhile,

Farewell, Life left empty,
Farewell, Where I left me,
Farewell.

The nights just faded into dark oblivion,
Wasted so many times instead of living them,
Grew up too innocent for a cold world bound,
There is no love alive in this entire town,

Merely impossible to ignore lust’s glow,
When I exiled my dreams a long time ago,
So many compressing glares are burning straight to bone,
Carrying on with feelings I know I’m going to die alone.
