According to Matt, this is one of the two songs that talk about love; in 'Aftermath' the protagonist finds love again.[1] The song is said to be the opposite of Dead Inside.
The song starts off with the sound of wind, soon joined by violins and synths. Guitars then make up a Hendrix-style ballad.[2] Later on in the song bass and drums join into the slow rhythm and the song stays quite soft until an all-together ending. The whole song is very pop-rock. In this song, the protagonist also regains his faith in humanity[3] In another review the song was compared with "One" of U2.

Lyrics
War is all around
I'm growing tired of fighting I've been drained and I can't hide it But I have strength for you You're all that's real anymore I am coming home now I need your comfort
From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone
States are crumbling Walls are rising high again It's no place for the faint-hearted But my heart is strong Because now I know where I belong It's you and I against the world We are free
From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone
We've gone against the tide All we have is each other now I'm coming home now I need your comfort
From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone
From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever Loneliness has gone
From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone
We're bound together Now and forever Loneliness has gone
