Rubicon Lyrics

Artist: VNV Nation
Album: Empires

Praying for myself.
These thoughts I try to hide.
I have faith in me and hope this will survive.
But it's tearing me apart.
I can't hear the words by which I guide.
So I must ask again who will carry me.

I will not deny that nothing can defend
from the helplessness that's cutting deep inside,
and I cannot prevent the thought that nothing's real.
Seems I've waited years for this day to end.

The strength I need to feel, the pride inside of me,
Are not there behind the face staring back at me.
The anger and the pain of knowing where I am.
I have come so far and I cannot return.

Nothing I can do that I have not done.
No words I can say. No truth left that I can see.
So must I let this end so everything falls apart.
Before I live the life as I have always done.

Tell me what to do so I do nothing wrong.
Something I can hope for. Something real that I can see.
So nothing falls apart. So that it does not end.
I cannot return. I can't start again.

Creepy. So this song came on my ipod after I finished the end of the 12th book in the wheel of time series; and all my brain could think of was the main character and what had just happened before the epilogue. It fits to a T.

This song makes me feel lesser alone. Someone else out there felt this and put it in words. Just how I feel. Fits my current life.

this song is addicting. so sad, so deep. its also so vague that it can depict alot of different problems someone may have. Who is "you" in the lyrics? is it God, your spouse, your parent...

good stuff.

Varias veces he llorado escuchando y cantando esta cancion... es el reflejo de mi eterna batalla contra mi lado mas obscuro... contra mis Demonios mas feroces...
