Song of the Week 10/8/12 - Seasons (Acoustic)

I'm searching through emptiness
and try to forget us in pain.
The light of the dark setting sun
will bring my sadness to an end.

Voices cry out through the fear and the doubt
as we wait for our lives to be better.

[Chorus:]
The words are dying in the night.
No winter lasts forever.
The seasons pass and the sunlight will shine on my life again.

So let the past now burn down in flames. oo~

Locked in prison, in a world of living fear
on the edge of my destruction, marching on.
Still suffering darkness with the dreams of life not meant to be
as I lie awake and curse the rising sun.

Sadness in time for the truth that she hides
and this pain in my heart for no reason.

[Chorus]

So let the past now burn down in flaaames!

Voices cry out through the fear and the doubt
as we wait for our lives to be better.

[Chorus]

So leave the past behind!

The dark clouds stating for my mind.
No pain will last forever.
The seasons pass and the sunlight will shine on my life again.

So let the past now burn down in flaaames!
Burn down in... flaaames!
Oo~ oo~ oh ohoh whoa~

Meaning: Yet another DragonForce song that features a couple at the end of their relationship, haunted by what could have been. But fear not, there is hope on the horizon! Don't let the past or what-ifs hold you back.

Why I Like It: The acoustic nature of this song is a welcome break from the typical speed metal the band specializes in. The quality, despite stark differences in style, is proof of the members' skill. Lately this has become my go to emo moment song. When I listen to this song it reminds me that the best times in life have yet to come. Any refrain from my painful job hunting experience is greatly appreciated.
