about

It took me a long time to finish this track, the initial melody was made in 2018, but making a song of it just did not seem to work. When I finally worked out a chorus things fell together very quickly. The beginning really makes me think of something that could be used in a musical. The lyrics really connected the concept of this record with my life, which made it easier to keep going on with the project.

lyrics

The door has closed behind me
No regret has taken hold yet
Alone strolling through the darkness
I’ve never felt more at home

No need for their acceptance
I know I’ll never be good enough
For them, for me, for you

But as my life’s been
Floating all along
Regret won’t be a song I’ll sing anymore

Somehow
I’ve left it all, with no remorse
I couldn’t myself
But this is where it ends

I wanted to be seen whole
That never happened there
Now I don’t need it to

I shouldn’t need someone
To accept me as I am
Hoping on a distant dream
Hasn’t gotten me anywhere

I don’t need them to accept me
So now I live for myself

It’s over now, it’s over now

Somehow
I’ve left it all, with no remorse
I couldn’t myself
But this is where it ends

I wanted to be seen whole
That never happened there
Now I don’t need it to

I’ve closed the door behind me
A new life awaits

The weight upon my shoulders
The weight of all you were
I’m helpless now
I want to be

I’m free
I’m free

Somehow
I’ve left it all, with no remorse
I couldn’t myself
But this is where it ends

I wanted to be seen whole
That never happened there
Now I don’t need it to
