about

The closing song of the album No Redemption is exactly about its namesake, when something doesn't pan out as expected or you waste any good opportunity you are often left with no chance to redeem it and live out that possible reality because time has moved on. In a way the song is about coping with the regrets of these distorted expectations and failed possible realities on a daily basis.

lyrics

The great big fuckup,
The ungraceful fall,
The ultimate losing streak to end them all,
The result of inner rage eating away the kind,
And the constant disappointment experienced time after time,

Redemption fallen short,
Life lessons never taught,
Battles lost whenever fought,

I am the undeniable and overwhelming sadness,
I am the final howl into the abyss of madness,
I am the succumbing letdown drawing one last breath,
I'm all your dreams no longer hanging by a thread,

And I'm that single moment when you realize time doesn't mend,
What I wouldn't give to start anew/do it all different again,
Every past mistake I've made is all coming to a head,
And I regret those things I never said.

I am the undeniable and overwhelming sadness,
I am the final howl into the abyss of madness,
I am the succumbing letdown drawing one last breath,
I'm all your dreams no longer hanging by a thread,

Another fire burning I cannot extinguish,
Another chapter in the tale that I can't wait to finish,
How can I live happily whilst utterly compelled?
How do I love life when I hate myself?

Redemption fallen short,
Life lessons never taught,
Battles lost whenever fought.
