Pain of Salvation - Undertow

This song means a lot to me... It explains how someone feels shortly after a shattered relationship. Experiencing Apathy, Sadness, Yearning, Reconciliation and Anger, always leading back to Apathy. Constantly with the same message: Let me go.

Lyrics:

Let me go
Let me go
Let me seek the answers that I need to know
Let me find a way
Let me walk away
Through the Undertow
Please let me go

Let me fly
Let me fly
Let me rise against that blood-red velvet sky
Let me chase it all
Break my wings and fall
Probably survive
So let me fly
Let me fly...

Let me run
Let me run
Let me ride the crest of chance into the sun
You were always there
But you may lose me here
Now love me if you dare
And let me run

I'm alive and I am true to my heart now - I am I,
but why must truth always make me die?

Let me break!
Let me bleed!
Let me tear myself apart I need to breathe!
Let me lose my way!
Let me walk astray!
Maybe to proceed...
Just let me bleed!

Let me drain!
Let me die!
Let me break the things I love I need to cry!
Let me burn it all!
Let me take my fall!
Through the cleansing fire!
Now let me die!
Let me die...

Let me out
Let me fade into that pitch-black velvet night

actually...this is a song purely talking about freedom generally...doesnt have really to do with relationship as you explain it

@ZeeFerKooL

Ofcourse there is a possibility. But to be honest, the words i put there are Daniels'.

You might indeed have thought that people tend to chain themselves with believes/things/thoughts that aren't even there.

You can see in the text that in the end, all these emotions lead to nothing except for bringing you back to where you started. Apathy.

@ZeeFerKooL Every song, every piece of art is about everything and nothing - it depends on your personal experiences, life and view.

For me, this song is about my ex girlfriend talking about me "Let me go" when I didn't want her to leave me...

You see?

[Flaggius]

This is what art about. The people think himself and his problems into the song, that is why it is so geniously good.

[gamitheitai]

@Sproeikoei art is something subjectif(not sure about the word ,i don't speak that good english).The artist states something through his work ,but different people might see something else ,something that they can relate too ,something that really speaks to them..i have witnessed it thoroughly in my literature lessons...that's what makes art soe beautiful....

[WasBMOC]

Though, with how interconnected all of the songs on this album seem to be, i wouldn't be suprised if it was about something talked about in one of the other songs... or possibly talking about all of it.

[WasBMOC]

I kinda thought for the most part the songs was about letting others make there own chocies/decisions, even if they are the wrong ones. Which goes along with the obvious theme of freedom.

I get an image of a kid whose parents don't let them do anything cause they're too afraid something bad will happen.
