about

The song delves into the notion of shedding the weight of past dreams and seeking illumination through a transformative perspective. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of this journey, likening it to a spectral display of light against the backdrop of the universe. The composition conveys a sense of ethereal beauty and hints at the idea that embracing change might be akin to encountering an otherworldly being in the midst of darkness. The song evokes a bittersweet sense of passage, reflecting on the transient nature of hopes and the enigmatic forces that shape our paths. It muses on the ambiguity of existence, symbolized by the "matrix sign," inviting listeners to contemplate the hidden meanings behind life's turns.

lyrics

If you can take away
all the dreams of your yesterday
and look for a light
the glow of the matrix sign

A vision in green and white
Like an angel in the headlights
The curve goes around
The life that you found

All the time you spent believing
All the time it went away
When life contracts you don't know why
The spirit calls you by-and-by
The places you go no one knows
And all your hopes are up in smoke
To fade in like a photograph
The echo of the aftermath

By the light of the matrix sign
Are the dreams that you left behind
The fool on a throne
Volition your own

You've taken a one-way flight
To a view of a nightlight
Epoxied in place
The look on your face

You know what it means
To fall in between
You know what it means
To fall in between
