VNV Nation - Left Behind

I compiled this slideshow from images I found plus some of my own. A beautiful song with a beautiful message. Enjoy.

Lyrics:

So afraid
To open your eyes
You know too well
That which awaits you
Something undefined
There in the halflight
The demon without
The demon inside
To plague and torment you
Feeling so sure
Feeling so uncertain
Something is wrong
Everyone's gone
You have been left behind
Everyone left the demon inside

Do you still hear their laughter
So hard to describe
And never forget
Faces that haunt you
Awake or asleep
You know you can't tell
Unable to sleep
Unable to fight
Unwilling to wake
To open your eyes
Face your oppressor
Still you go on
Convinced it will end

Can you remember
A day when it was not
Not like this
Unsure of yourself
Unsure of your thoughts
Unable to know
Of what you think is right or wrong
Still you go on
Convinced it will end
But someone pushes
A blade through your mind
There on the edge
No one will find you
So hearing them laugh
Is there no light at the end for you

Why is everything wrong
Here I am
Here I am
With these words
Trying to say
Something I can't
Something I can't tell you
Nothing is wrong
The demons they have left you
You were not left behind
You were not left behind
So open your eyes
So open your eyes
Unable to sleep
Unable to fight
Unwilling to wake
Please open your eyes
Here I stand
Unable to tell you
I'm trying to say
Nothing is wrong
Please open your eyes
Nothing is wrong

You were not left behind

Beautiful song...beautiful message, very well done. ♥ it..

the lil sad cardboard box man was cute at 2:02 and I liked how the "on the edge" part of the song, 2:36 was matching with the image of a man on the edge of the ledge

The lack of views on this is criminal.

This song never fails to make me cry every time I listen to it. These images are extremely poignant in a very melancholy sort of way. Beautiful work.

This would be the sickest soundtrack if this was on 28 Months Later

Thanks to you, I know this song exists. What a gift. Thank you.

Your visual outro statement "you´re not...ALONE" fits perfectly with Ronan´s last words "you were not...left behind". Instant teartrops... <3 soooo beautiful!
