This Month’s Inspirations

Jul 24

It is no secret that I am a lover of music. Many times I find myself drawn to music to grasp an emotion that I am trying to portray. This month’s inspiration is by the band Sleep Token. The song is called “The Apparition.” Check out the link and lyrics below!

Lyrics:

The Apparition

Why are you never real?
Whenever you appear
You leave me with that grace
I am trembling with fear
But I know that you will disappear
Just as I awake
Whisper in my ear

Well, I believe
Somewhere in the past
Something was between
You and I, my dear
And it remains
With me to this day
No matter what I do
This scar will never fade

So let's make trouble in the dream world
Hijack heaven with another memory now
I make the most of the turning tide
It just split what's left of the burning silence
Don't wait, 'cause this could be the last time
You turn up in the reveries of my mind
I wake up to a suicide frenzy
Loaded dreams still leave me empty

I believe
Somewhere in the past
Something was between
You and I my dear
And it remains
With me to this day
No matter what I do
This wound will never heal

Why are you never real?
The shifting states you follow me through
Unrevealed
Just let me go or take me with you

So let's make trouble in the dream world
Hijack heaven with another memory now
I make the most of the turning tide
It just split what's left of the burning silence
Don't wait 'cause this could be the last time
You turn up in the reveries of my mind
I wake up to a suicide frenzy
Loaded dreams still leave me empty
