about

This is probably one of my favorite songs about a character I created, in which his dreams have become his reality. Though, to his disappointment, they rarely bring any happiness. I wanted to express an emotion I had, without using my own words. It is probably one of the oldest songs on the album, written in Wisconsin and while living in Maryland in 2007. First demoed with Petter Folkedal in Bergen, Norway during January of 2008.

lyrics

LONELINESS
(N. Parent)

We sent her out on a windy day; the clouds were high up in the sky.
A shaded road that led the way, cast funny shapes upon our eyes.
A steady leg and a broken wing to fly her straight into the wind.
I caught a glimpse of her heavy thoughts; and now I'm suffering our loss.

Memories of passing days leave you scarred in unseen ways.
A final kiss and a glance that drops; if you had held me, I might have stopped
Time and everything within. I'd cease the world from it's unending spin.
Change day to night; and one last thing: the saddest words that would begin.

I always hurt myself when lonely words express themselves on me, on me.
Seven days have passed and she is never coming back again.

Cherry juice and shattered glass make crystal pictures of the past.
Filled with unfamiliar laughs. Oh, how I understand at last:
She wasn't ever truly mine; I'd make-believe her while drinking wine.
Although, you know how the story goes: sometimes you personify your woes.
Personify your woes…

I always hurt myself when lonely words express themselves on me, on me.
Twenty days have passed, now she is never coming back again.

And in the time we've been apart,
I set my mind ablaze and cursed the feelings I've held in my heart.
Although, it's no secret because, you know,
My love for you will stay until my final show.

I always hurt myself when lonely words express themselves on me, on me.
A hopeful year has passed and now I see you. Please come back, oh, please.
Come back! Oh, please! Please come back to me, to me.
I always hurt myself.
