Slate (Band) - The Heir

Copied!

{VERSE}
Then, in secret, whilst still sleeping
Thoughts as fleeting infestation

{Chorus}
Mind, forgive these forlorn eyes
That saw the hand pass through
And reach for the end of light again
To be reminded it's still there
I can't be the only one who knows
Freedom can be a treacherous friend

{VERSE}
And what then not held would the hand leave
Cold palms on a tearstained lectern?

{Chorus}
Strangely, sickness lullabies me
I think of all of you
And reach for the end of light again
Until I catch myself smiling
Lying in bed, I quake
The amber breaks
The choice is made, commence

The haunting lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their own thoughts and emotions, feeling both isolated and connected to those around them. The chorus reflects on the complexities of freedom and the challenges it can bring, while the verses delve into the idea of reaching for something just out of grasp. The song captures a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, ultimately leading to a moment of realization and acceptance. Slate's emotive vocals and atmospheric instrumentation create a powerful and evocative listening experience.
