Description
The pulse of light in the darkness is uneven, as if someone is randomly turning a dial. There are too many thoughts, but they all get stuck somewhere between "is it worth it" and "it was all in vain again." It pulls up, then sharply down, as if someone decided to check if the wiring can handle it. And it endures - with creaks and groans, but it lives. There's a strange comfort in that sound: when you fall, you're not alone, but together with the echo of your own doubts. The silence around is thick like smoke, but something is still stirring within it - maybe hope, maybe just a reflex. The world is a little crooked, but it's real. And if you're going to burn, burn beautifully, in rhythm, where even pain sounds almost musical.

Lyrics and translation
Original
If every weight is forever
Is it worth all the trouble it's caused?
My vacant eyes can't read the room
They run me like a spectacle
I cut to the point I'm switching gears
I'm pulling a knee-jerk first response
Now I'm feelin' full
I didn't contain the feeling at all
Watch me unravel
Tangled in the thorns of a doubt
Silencing the shadows
You lift me up to pull me right back down again
Watch me unravel
Tangled in the thorns of a doubt
Silencing the shadows
Lift me up to tear me back down
Unravel
Cursing the light, hailing the moon
Falling for what I dream to be true
Scratching my throat, painting me blue
Hold me like I want you to
I cut to the point, I'm switching gears
I'm sorry, I'll blame my own design
Now I'm feeling full
I didn't contain the feeling at all
Watch me unravel
Tangled in the thorns of a doubt
Silencing the shadows
Lift me up to tear me back down
Unravel
Closing my eyes (ah-ah), I fell through the sky (ah-ah)
Madness is what keeps us tied together
Circling toward (ah-ah) reveling spite (ah-ah)
Eternally, you're tied (eternally, you're tied to me)
Oh
I'd cut you free, but eternally, you're tied to me (ooh-ooh)
Watch me unravel
Tangled in the thorns of a doubt
Silencing the shadows
You lift me up to pull me right back down again
