about

This song is in part about the relationship I have had with the idea of my father. Since he hasn't been in my life for quite some time now I have an idea of what I believe my relationship with him is like, and from bits and pieces of repressed memories I have formulated an idea of how it would feel to have him in my life.

Secondly, this is where we let our nerd flag fly, the lyrics are constructed, and again, based in part off of one of our favorite Animes, Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you are familiar with it you will definitely catch the references. It just fit so well lyrically with the theme we had in mind for the song we had to do it!

lyrics

"repress the words that
your father had said
even now that you are needed,
they still dwell in your head
As much as you may hate it
Unit 01 was built for you
You mustn't run away now
when your city needs you"

"I know the pain well
that you must feel and fear
the thought of losing everything,
and anyone that you've held dear

I know, that the weight of
the world is on your shoulders
but you are (not) alone
but we are (not) alone"

"I mustn't run away
I mustn't run away"

"repress the words that
your father had said
even now that you are needed,
they still dwell in your head
As much as you may hate it
Unit 01 was built for you
You mustn't run away now
when your city needs you"

"I mustn't run away
I mustn't run away"

""even through clear blue skies
beat on the door of my heart
you just look, staring back at me

but someday you will notice
on those shoulders of yours
there are strong wings
to guide you"

"I mustn't run away"
"you are (not) alone"
"I mustn't run away"
"you are (not) alone"
