I haven’t felt this emotional listening to a WHOLE album since All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us. But this song in particular broke me. In my opinion, their strongest song from Fatalism.
It’s absolutely sad and unfair seeing such a piece of work, both musically and lyrically, only having 54K views after 4 months of its release. I hope you guys see this message one day… thank you for creating this. The lyrics are so true and powerful and their meaning gave me goosebumps as I connect them to a person of interest. I hope I see you live in Greece one day.
I know the obvious theme in this song is navigating the trauma of a loved one who might have took their own life, and I definitely feel that is what they wrote about. However, when I listen to this, my mind/interpretation is that it's someone conflicted with sorrow and rage over the death of their old self, or perhaps someone's inner child writing a letter to their present self expressing how sad/angry they are treating themselves (and eventually one half of this person choosing to expire, at least in spirit)
I view it as someone struggling with watching someone succumb to drug addiction/alcoholism. Probably from personal experience but this one hit hard. The constant battle between wanting to help but also be rid of watching someone do this to themselves
It was tough picking a favorite from this album but I''m going with this one. 2:40 - 3:14 is just so powerful with those riffs, emotion and even nostalgic of some of the metal songs I've heard in the past.
I never knew a song which would be my favourite one but also the most difficult one to listen to. Whenever this songs plays, I do not know if I want to hear it 100 times over again or rather never. It's just so difficult yet so beautiful. I love you Polaris, rest easy Ryan ❤ I will never forget you
I've loved this song since the first time I heard it all those months ago. I did not realize how much it would resonate with me in my own personal life as it does currently in my own at this very moment.
Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe I hope to god I wrote it not too late I'll never understand the things you've faced The path you had to take You were the parts of me I kept concealed and contained A relic of the way you were raised A product of rage, of passion, and pain The last one to shoulder the blame Did you expect me to try to look you straight in the eye And drag you back down to Earth? I watched you walk down a road I could not condone And fell to my knees as it took you so... Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe I hope to god I wrote it not too late I'll never understand the things you've faced The path you had to take Was it your choice to break the promises you made In a voice that quaked with apprehension? I thought I knew you, I thought you knew me too The grave that you dug is not deep enough for two Is not deep enough for two And I don't owe shit to you I'm running out of reasons not to keep you so... Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe I hope to god I wrote it not too late I'll never understand the things you've faced The path you had to take Time won't slow If you could see these words before you go I swear I'll never sleep until I know That you have finally found a place to rest And the weight is off your chest As you waste away You're a ghost You're a ghost to me You fucking let me down Why can't you let me be? (Why can't you let me be?) I went through hell to find a way in But you made the bed you laid in Convinced that no one would care Cut every tie you could rely on But you chose this hill to die on And I won't follow you there Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe I hope to god I wrote it not too late I'll never understand the things you've faced The path you had to take Can't you see? (Some things cannot be concealed) Please know I never wanted you to leave (We will succumb to the wounds we never heal) I'll bleed from every pore just to believe (I hope you find a place to rest) That you got what you sought in your last breath Some dignity in death (In your death)
It has now been 1 month since I decided to begin intentionally loving myself, and making changes for the better. Polaris, if you guys see this, know that I received your message in time ❤️
these lyrics are heartbreaking man
Agree 😢
I think of my father with this one.
Rip
The whole album has such vibe, its so heartbreaking that i fucking love it.
@@Prince_of-Darknessthis is a bipolar inner dialogue between myself and I.

I think the same !
This song is so fucking good man, I can't never not cry to this
The lyrics are gut-wrenching man.
Polaris are the kings

Couldn't agree more bro

Every track from them sounds so different. Preciously why they’re S tier
Unreal songwriting
Shed a few tears listening to this. Best song on the album imo.
This song gave me the chills thinking of Ryan… One my favorites off the album so far! 🥰🙏🏻🍻🤘🏻
God this song is one of the more powerful songs on this album. I love it

Discovered this band circa 1 years ago and can't stop listening these dudes. Every song is a masterpiace.

Holy shit that chorus is crazy
One of the best song of the album, great job!🔥
Didn't expect that chorus at the start and now I'm in love with the whole song!!
this is the best song on the album easy
All in vain
Dissipate
Parasites
Aftertouch or Parasites. Cmon now!
THIS ALBUM IS SUCH A FUCKING BANGER GOD DAMN
Banger of an album front to back! Its on par with Mortal Coil, fantastic job boys!
This reminds me a little bit of earlier Polaris. Guilt & The Grief type of material here, I'd say.
Favorite song on the album speaks volumes.
Honestly my FAVORITE song on the album. I know there’s better ones musically but this one just hits the deepest for me and the catchiest chorus imo.
I just saw this live and it's an instant favorite
This whole song seems like a letter to Ryan
Essa música é uma das minhas favoritas do álbum
Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I'll never understand the things you've faced
The path you had to take
You were the parts of me I kept concealed and contained
A relic of the way you were raised
A product of rage, of passion, and pain
The last one to shoulder the blame
Did you expect me to try to look you straight in the eye
And drag you back down to Earth?
I watched you walk down a road I could not condone
And fell to my knees as it took you so...
Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I'll never understand the things you've faced
The path you had to take
Was it your choice to break the promises you made
In a voice that quaked with apprehension?
I thought I knew you, I thought you knew me too
The grave that you dug is not deep enough for two
Is not deep enough for two
And I don't owe shit to you
I'm running out of reasons not to keep you so...
Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I'll never understand the things you've faced
The path you had to take
Time won't slow
If you could see these words before you go
I swear I'll never sleep until I know
That you have finally found a place to rest
And the weight is off your chest
As you waste away
You're a ghost
You're a ghost to me
You fucking let me down
Why can't you let me be?
(Why can't you let me be?)
I went through hell to find a way in
But you made the bed you laid in
Convinced that no one would care
Cut every tie you could rely on
But you chose this hill to die on
And I won't follow you there
Far away, I pray this letter finds you well and safe
I hope to god I wrote it not too late
I'll never understand the things you've faced
The path you had to take
Can't you see? (Some things cannot be concealed)
Please know I never wanted you to leave (We will succumb to the wounds we never heal)
I'll bleed from every pore just to believe (I hope you find a place to rest)
That you got what you sought in your last breath
Some dignity in death (In your death)
BRUTAL
