SE HAN IDO

The 3rd track on the new album is "Se Han Ido", which translated into English from Spanish means, "They Have Gone", making reference to those whom we have loved but who have passed on. The song is really about coping with the memory and loss of our loved ones.

 

SE HAN IDO

 

Verse 1:

This rite of passage, sense of an ending

Is just a touch beyond my reach

I know you've changed and it's changed me

Moving forward I'll take less of that, please

 

Through generations dims the hour

Of calling back those memories

Se han ido, se han ido, se han ido

 

Chorus:

I have never been promised tomorrow

So today is where I'll stay, refuse to end this day

But if you tell me that I must close my eyes again

I promise tomorrow, for you my friend

But I can't do this today, 'cause I am so afraid

Afraid for tomorrow

 

Verse 2:

The separation now in place

Demanding I should stay awake

You've got to let me work this out

For you, for me, for heaven's sake

 

Your whisperings, your sonic pulsing

Luring me into a dream

Me has ido, me has ido, me has ido

 

(Chorus).

 

 



PAINSTAKING - BROKEN DOWN

Well..... I fell off the wagon for about a month due to a high volume of shows, which I'm grateful for but here I am again to keep the song lyrics and meanings flowing your way!

Painstaking was my last blog and at this point I'd like to dig into it just a little bit!

PAINSTAKING

Verse 1:

The last that I'm remembering was laying in this place

To find myself in daylight with morning at my face

You must have walked away and I'm a loss for losing

 

The main character wakes up on an unknown street corner with no recollection of how he arrived there. The only thing he remembers is being out with his close friends the night before for a little fun; one of these friends had agreed to be the sober one for the night!

Chorus:

Painstaking, ending, thinking but nothing

Conquering, closing in, distancing from knowing

 

His mind is unable to piece together the previous nights events which could have resulted in him being abandoned and left to the elements of nature and man. All he knows is that his "friends" had to have just walked away!

Verse 2:

Sat up without memory and passers by they gave

To settle in and make this home, but all I want is to live

And you must have walked away, I'm a loss still losing

 

As he examines himself he realizes that loose change had been laid on him while he was laying down making his feelings of self worth greatly diminish which increases his level of aggravation and frustration!

(Chorus)

Bridge:

I recognize my part in this, I may have fought you with my fists

Regardless what the answer is, how could you, how could you?

 

He is willing to accept that he carries some responsibility for being in this situation and that he acknowledges that his drinking may have even led him to aggression against those that he was with the night before. However; even with all of these facts or possible scenarios, he can find no excuse for leaving him alone, none!

(Chorus).
