‘Aside from the interval and introduction music, this was possibly the last official song I’d written, and with it one of the hardest. I’d gone through constant song writing patterns for the 3 weeks of writing and recording, then after this had finished I needed to write this song. It talks about the love shared from Lucy his assistant to Noah, even though he might not see it. The way she wants to be there for him. I’d realised I hadn’t properly introduced Lucy and the role she plays to our hero’s story, hence why this song needed to be included last minute.
It required me to take inspiration from loving somebody, who may not actually love you back. I desired to think of themes about wanting to be there for somebody, even if they aren’t close to you, or with you, you are still there for them. It’s only after the song has been finished I’ve realised it shares ideas of loving oneself. A love song to myself, about desiring to find happiness despite how bad life might seem. Sometimes we just wanna be held!’
lyrics
Lyrics:
I watch you walk away, I count every step that you take
I pray that you’d only stay, it’s a promise I know that you’d break
I see that you're hurting, it drags you down everyday
Despite that your halo is fading, your wings take me far away
Your mind is breaking, as my heart is aching, can you see how much that I need you here right now?
And the stars might be veiled, as the suns gone away
But I can still see you tonight
Like a moth to the flame, I would help you stay sane
And hope that you find the light
A needle without a thread, another ghost in my bed
Broken words never said, a sickness in your own head
Isolated in anguish, your pain echoes for all to hear
Blinded I feel so selfish, I’ll hold you close my dear
Your love is fading, as the world is shaking, would you hear me if I called out your name?
When the world gets you down, and the sadness sets in,
and you feel like you’re losing it all
With the misery found, and your patience wears thin,
I’ll pick you back up when you fall
I'll show you the way, I’ll remind you whats true,
I’ll make the pain go away
Come whatever may, come what you never knew,
I won’t let it get in your way
And the stars might be veiled, as the suns gone away
There might be no end left in sight
Despite all your shame, I won’t ever place blame
As long as you find the light

Greetings earthlings! This page is dedicated to Epiphany, my progressive metal solo
project.
Over the course of my time playing guitar, I've felt the restrictions of playing in a band that naturally comes with their given style and sound. Through this project, I hoped to deliver my own varied style and performance with my creative control.
It's not a question of why, but a question of why not?...more
