lyrics

Verse 1
I don't feel like I'm in the right place in my life,
Lingering at this point in time. The same goes for my state of mind.

Two voices reflect my inner self and reality.
Conflicts within myself evoke a feeling of inadequacy.

Too many opportunities have I passed and squandered,
Will I ever be good enough? In the meantime, I wondered.

Life goes on, and the more time I spend catching up,
The more time I lose in the moment, the image of my past and future muddles up.

Chorus
The curse of sentience,
Insatiable desires and ambitions,
The curse of sentience,
Unsatisfied even with the perfect conditions.

Verse 2
Do you feel like you're in the right place in your life?
Lingering at this point in time, do you still stay blind in your mind?

Do you now feel adequate? Have you begun to catch up?
Are you lagging? Are you ahead? Or have you even got up?

Doesn't really matter cause it was never a race,
Doesn't really matter cause everybody moves at a different pace.

Living collectively alone, but not alone entirely,
Everyone's dancing to the same tune of uncertainty.

Chorus
The curse of sentience,
Insatiable desires and ambitions,
The curse of sentience,
Unsatisfied even with the perfect conditions.

An absolutely beautiful track. It truly invokes an image of a dystopian cyberpunk world in the head of the listener, and brings its characters to life. pbjis2op4me

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear

I first heard "Fly For Your Life" in a game trailer and I've been hooked since. Songs for hard bitten optimists and joyful nihilists. 𝕎𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕣
