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] In this song, the protagonist also regains his faith in humanity[3] In another review the song was compared with "One" of Metallica
Lyrics
War is all around
I'm growing tired of fighting I've been drained and I can't hide it But I have strenght for you You're all that's real anymore I am coming home now
From this moment From this moment you’ll never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone
States are crumbling and Walls are rising high again It's no place for the 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’ll 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 confort
