The Head And The Heart - Blue Embers (Visualizer) with tags the head and the heart, verve forecast, alternative

Everything is overwhelming.

Everything is overwhelming.

Everything always feels like it’s always coming to an end.

And the feeling that it’s all ending seems never ending.

But it does end. And then things open up. But before it opens, it seems like it won’t. Like it couldn’t possibly ever open up.

But then if you hold on long enough, it does.

There’s always something inviting you to the next thing. Even when you’ve convinced yourself that it would never do that. Not for you. But then it does. When you let it do what it has to do to you. And when you do, it just keeps opening and opening over and over until the thing that seemed never ending is only a memory. So when you’re thinking that it’s never gonna end, remember that it does. And it can be beautiful, if you let it be.

Blue Embers was written in that never-ending, always-ending space. If it weren’t for music, that space would be harder and harder to see through. And if you’re in there right now, know that you’re not alone, that it does open up, and that there’s beauty on the other side you can’t even imagine. Just hold on.

LYRICS

When you were young and you were alive

Before you let it pass you by

Lying awake, night after night

Staring at the ceiling

You were afraid but god knows why

What’s it gonna take honey,

for you to believe there might be a better life waiting?

Don’t make it worse, let it go past

Maybe we’ll find the time to walk again in the sun

Before the darkness that comes around for everyone

And I know that it’s hard on you

But it’s hard on me too

honey we’re lost together

I know that I’ll believe in you

Honey if you’ll believe in me

But I know it’s hard to do

Because I don’t believe in anything

Honey and I’ll believe in you

Only if you’ll believe in me

But I know it’s hard to do

because I don’t wanna believe in me.

Where did you lose the fire in your eyes

Little blue embers

Funny the way the well runs dry

Used to feel something

Used to believe the power lies, somewhere inside

I couldn’t see that there was a better life waiting

I know it hurts, and it goes fast

We didn’t take the time to walk together in the sun

Before the darkness honey that came just like I knew it would

And I know I was hard on you

You were hard on me too

Maybe we’re lost forever

But I know that I’ll believe in you

Honey if you believe in me

And I know it’s hard to do

Because I don’t believe in anything

Honey and I’ll believe in you only if you’ll believe in me

But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t wanna believe in me.

When you were young and you were alive

When you were young and you were alive
