about

This song is about a depressed man, who believes life doesn't matter because at the end, you'll eventually die. As he is about to commit suicide, he is stopped by a woman who was passing by. They talk to each other for a long time, both trying to expose their points of view. In the end, the man reconsider his opinion, and tries to carry on with his life.

lyrics

Did you think you were happy?
Did you think you were bright?
Did you think you were lucky
Just because you were alive?
Well, your life means nothing
Your beliefs are based on a lie
You're just a small being
A pathetic form of life.

Everything you have learnt
Won't help you in this world
Soon you'll be turn to dust
No one will remember
There's nothing in the sky
There's nothing you possess
The only thing you have
Is, at the end, your death

Held hostage in a prison of time
A life you thought would have last
Forever.
Held hostage in a prison of time
We were born, we will die
Does it even matter?

Did you think you could fulfill
All your dreams and your goals?
Did you think you could succeed
While the game was immoral?
Your freedom is a lie
And you're clouding the issue
The tunnel is treacherous
The end's not even worthwhile.

Everything you have learnt
Won't help you in this world
Soon you'll be turn to dust
No one will remember
There's nothing in the sky
There's nothing you possess
The only thing you have
Is, at the end, your death

Held hostage in a prison of time
A life you thought would have last
Forever.
Held hostage in a prison of time
We were born, we will die
Does it even matter?

Held hostage in a prison of time
A feeling lost in the void
Forever.
Hostage in a prison of time
When you know, understand
Does it make you smarter?
