Time Will Tell
Sitting here in silence
Staring out the window down the street
Deep inside
A heart that pumps defiance
Not yet ready to accept defeat
Stuck within the same routine
Was it me who locked myself in here?
Desperately fighting to break from the in-between
Where do I go?
Where have I been?
There's a part of me that's still searching
Even though I don't know who I tried to be
Just show me all the answers I should know by now
To make some sense of myself somehow
I know it all too well but only time will tell
Time will tell if I'm to find a way
Sifting through the options day by day
I can't seem to escape this simple maze
How did I put myself into this place
My reflection washing away
Something new emerging from ash and decay
There's a part of me that's still searching
Even though I don't know who I tried to be
Just show me all the answers I should know by now
To make some sense of myself somehow
I know it all too well but only time will tell
Tell me that I'm not heading into a shallow grave
Pulling me under wave after wave
Honestly would you believe me?
Moving on it's not that easy
Looking on in disbelief
How could I have ever been so naive?
Honestly would you believe me?
Moving on it's not that easy
Looking on in disbelief
How could I have ever been so naive?
There's a part of me that's still searching
Even though I don't know who I tried to be
There's a part of me that's still searching
Even though I don't know who I tried to be
Just show me all the answers I should know by now
To make some sense of myself somehow
I know it all too well but only time will tell
Time Will Tell" ist wahrscheinlich unser bisher instrumental anspruchsvollster Song. In diesen fünf Minuten gibt es fast keine Pausen, in denen wir verschnaufen könnten. Wir haben versucht, einen Song zu schreiben, der uns alles abverlangt, was wir haben, und noch mehr, um uns weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern. Neue Techniken wie Slap auf der Gitarre oder komplizierte Taktartwechsel machen den Song besonders interessant. Wir haben für dieses Arrangement wieder einmal alle Register gezogen, um eine nuancierte Komposition abzuliefern, auf die ich sehr gespannt bin. Der Text des Songs handelt von dem Gefühl, nicht sicher zu sein, ob man die richtigen Wege im Leben eingeschlagen oder die richtigen Entscheidungen getroffen hat. Langsam aber sicher überwältigen einen die Gedanken an die endlosen Möglichkeiten und das "wie es hätte sein können". Gedanken, die einige Menschen in einer solchen Zeit der Selbstreflexion vielleicht selbst erlebt haben. Time Will Tell" wird wahrscheinlich mein Favorit sein, wenn ich es live spiele, wegen der rohen Energie und den Melodien, die hoffentlich in den Köpfen der Leute auf dem Heimweg hängen bleiben.
