“The song highlights the duality of emotions we experience during personal progress; once being self-validated and at our best, then suddenly low and deteriorated as opportunities close around us. Written and recorded in August 2020 as Earth shut down during the campaign for the band's self-titled release, Court Order persisted to navigate the era by doing what they do best while promoting their latest EP; write passionate songs about it and focus on what they can control.”
lyrics
Sink into the wave
For miles of loneliness
This time the path seems worthless
But I try to defend my fate
Spiral down my own flaws
Unable to move alone
Death becomes my only friend
I worry until the end
Life presented me lies
I never knew what the changes meant
I could be better if I tried today
But it’s better if you stayed away
Spiral down my own flaws
Unable to move alone
Death becomes my only friend
I worry until the end
I try to fill the void
To forget where I’ve been before
To disregard the things I’ve done
To erase everything I am
Split between a dream and a failure
There will be nothing left
And there’s nothing left for me to do
I’ll always know I failed you
I failed you
