Unleashed

I found these on youtube

Back in the day, I can recall that my thoughts were unclouded and saint (?).
There was no black staining the walls of my memory.
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways and leaving me nothing to gain.
Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity.

Chorus
Oh, where was I meant to be?
I feel lost in a dream.
Long for the day I can be myself.
When I'm free, when my sun has set.
Release my soul forever.
I have no regrets.
To be? free, I exist again.

No more lost endeavors, nothing to contend, when I'm free.

Call a decline so it defines me.
It's falling away from behind.
Nothing to keep me with the time,
The here and now.

Oh where am I? meant to be?
I feel lost in a dream.
Yearning again only to be myself.
When I'm free, when my sun has set.
Release my soul forever.
I have no regrets.
To be free, I exist again.
No more lost endeavors, nothing to contend, when I'm free.

Time is just a concept and always the first thing to fade.
----Nothing we can ever repay
Years of cruel that break us, clinging on decay and despair.
-----deception, something we can never repay
Choir
No one to blame ------
Nothing -----
So -----
Oh where was I meant to be
I feel lost in a dream
Long for the day? I can be myself

Free
Thats not the way it should be
Yearning again only to be myself
Free

oooh I'll do a cover of that soon thanks Eetu!

Thank you so much for the lyrics!!! I really love this song, Simone's vocals in the end are amazing, the choir, the lyrics, everything!

One of the best songs on DYU,for me.
I just adore the chorus,and the beginning ^^

I can really connect to the lyrics...

oh these lyrics contain a lot of mistakes :c. i can write them here again if anyone wants them (though i suppose everbody knows them already :p)

Yup, there are lot of versions of these lyrics and the only right one seems to be at the booklet haha.
The worst version is the one with chorus saying ''When my song has start'' *cough*
That isn't even right english.

Here you go with the right lyrics:

Declining, all color fading
Defining, time coming for me
Rescinding, my inspiration
Receding consciousness
Set me free!

Back in the day, I can recall that
My thoughts were unclouded and sage
There was no black staining the walls of my memories
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways
And leaving me nothing to gain
Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity

Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free

Color declines, all that defines me
Is falling away, far behind
Nothing to keep me with the time, the here and now

Where am I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Yearning again only to be myself

Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no more losing
Save me, near me, help me, hear me
No more heartache, no misery
Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no agony,
Save me, near me, help me, hear me
No more heartache, no despairing (We despair)
Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no repairing (No repair)

Time is just a concept
And always the first thing to fade
Agony and weakness
Nothing we can never evade
Years are cruel, they break us
Bringing on decay and despair
Awareness and perception
Something we can never repair

Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing
Give me power to break out
I can't hold on for any longer
My time has come to end it all

No one to blame, fate's only random
It's nothing we'll ever explain
So it remains

Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

- Free -

When will I be unleashed?
It's not the way it should be
Yearning again only to be myself
When I'm free

Unleash my consciousness


Personally I think this song is simply amazing. I'd never thought I will love their single song so much. But it's so powerful, the lyrics mean life to me, truly!!

yeah...they're...perfect.Thanks Gosia!!

Great Song Loved it first time i heard the words! release my soul forever

Love How she says ''forever'' xD love the song but that part alot hehe!

Unleashed .I remember how insane I was before I heared it,I felt,like 'Oh well I can't live without hearing at least the single from DYU.'And I wasn't dissapointed.It's actually my favorite(unedited) single ever,and it's length it's really impressive for a single.I don't get why people don't like the video,IMO it's the best Epica video

As for the lyrics I think it's Simone's best work,I totally can relate to them .The vocal lines are beautifull,aspecially her opera at the end.

Catchy instrumentation,and I think I'm the only weird one who thinks it's the equivalent of 'Quietus' at certain parts .

*excuse for DP*

But what do you guys think about the duet version with Amanda?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RRKhSXEsR4

I like it,but not as much as the CD version.Amanda,sounds great,she is a bit similar to Simone but they have a diffrent voice colour though.They both sound great

I obviously love Amanda and her voice, but I must say I'm not so keen on this duet version. It loses a bit of its power to me.

Gosia!!!*hugs*.Please PM quick please.

OFFTOPIC,sorry

This song rocks. 'Nuff said

I can relate to the lyrics. I suffer from a depression, and the chorus is so... What I want. I want to be free, I want my sun to be shining again. I wait paciently for that day, but time will heal all wounds. So I hope that soon it all will be alright again.
