about

I am tired, and I'm lonely, but most of all I am lost and confused - but I don't know exactly where I am lost, or what it is that I am confused about.
This song is, to me, about extremism and fanaticism. There are so many scary things going on in the world, with terrorism, diseases, imminent wars and the ever more chaotic elements at the doorstep, and here we are, with the possibility to be free. I think that, for a young person like me, freedom is confusing and scary; it is a place of haze where nothing seems to be written in stone yet is absolute, where any action you take is, will be, isn't and won't be forced upon you. When things starts to go wrong and things are falling apart, it is only human to try to look for the cause - but when you are young and lost in the fog and you can't see three hoofs in front of you, the cause is as ambiguous as the answer… When you can’t see, you will by sheer instinct listen – and there will be voices, all which say different things and blame different things; which voice should I trust? I am afraid that the voices will play on our fears and lure us to do something horrible, with terrifying consequences that will only be made visible after it’s too late...

lyrics

Oh, I’m walking in the fog, I am blinded, my thoughts gone, yet words are spinning around, in my mind.
Oh, I’m digging through the fog, try to find some object, walls or something to cling to, I don’t want to fall again

It’s wet and lonely, scary, voices are telling me that this is the way of the free, what do they mean?
They speak of, monsters, Devils, one’s that’s in the fog and trying their all to find me…

I run and run and feel / the terror that’s around me
I run and run and hear / the voices guides me on
I run and run and fear / What is clawing at my feet

Oh, they speak to me again, guide me forward, onwards, say they can help me out, am I wrong to trust them now
Oh, they lead me step by step, I don’t feel right, something, is moving around me now, I can hear it’s breathing jaws

I run and run and feel / the terror that’s around me
I run and run and hear / the voices guides me on
I run and run and fear / What is clawing at my feet

I stumble, I fall, there’s something on the ground, sharp, heavy, a blade as black as night
They voices say that I must fight, I’m surrounded by whispers and beatings of hateful hearts, But swear I will not die!

I lift the sword and swing away, I slash harder, faster, and the monsters fall right down. And the fog grew thinner soon.
then I saw them in the mud, with their swords and scared eyes, they look like clones of me, with bleeding wounds and weeping eyes

I run and run and feel / the terror that’s inside me
I run and run and hear / the voices cry on high
I run and run and fear / What is clawing in my mind
