about

The 3rd track from the upcoming 2022 album (release date not currently announced). A musical journey through many metal styles, and a look into the concept of taking the time and space we all need in order to be our best selves.

Musically, this is a journey from Devin Townsend - "Addicted" style rock, to Katatonia influenced despair, to sections with the raw fury of Immortal.

lyrics

You… Wanna go… But you don’t… Know how.
You… Need to show… Yourself... The way out

Oh why do we need.
Oh I do. Oh I need. To be. Me. Free

Travel alone...
Travelling home
Heading down the highway!

Time.
To.
Take a break from it all.
Get away!

Now you go. Now you see.

There you go again.

Rushing, rushing.
Faster than before.
The night can't come fast enough...

Take the time for me!
Oh, but still, it's you I need.

But now...

But... now...
I need to go away!

(Take it now)

So go.

Let it all go for now.
Exorcise the demons, face it all!
In the void - change
Feel the wrath of insanity

Sorry. So are we still ok?

I think that I'm ok.

Oh why do I need to go away.
Oh I do - oh I need... to be me...
Free!
