Hollow Origin – LET IT FIND ME LIVING (Official Audio)

LET IT FIND ME LIVING by Hollow Origin. A cinematic modern metalcore song about the terror of impermanence: loving someone while knowing that everything ends — and choosing to live fully anyway. LYRICS I — THE MACHINE Learn the rules. Earn your place. Find somebody. Watch them age. Smile for the photograph before the photograph gets lost. We carve our names in concrete like the concrete won’t decay. We keep saying “someday, someday” while the someday slips away. I know everybody dies. I’ve known it all my life. So why did no one warn me what that sentence feels like when the person dying— is you? CHORUS IF THIS IS ALL WE GET, THEN DON’T SAVE ANYTHING. IF EVERY LIGHT GOES OUT, LET YOUR FACE BE THE LAST THING I SEE. I DON’T NEED FOREVER. I DON’T NEED A SIGN. JUST TELL ME WHY LOSING YOU FEELS INFINITE WHEN WE’RE ONLY HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. ARE WE HERE? ARE WE HERE? II — THE TRIAL CHOIR: Who are you? Someone temporary. CHOIR: Where are you going? I don’t know. CHOIR: What do you believe? I believe— I’m fucking terrified. CHOIR: OF WHAT? Of dying. CHOIR: OF WHAT? Of being left. CHOIR: OF WHAT? Of waking up one morning with half a life beside me and the other half erased. CHOIR: THEN PRAY. To who? CHOIR: THEN RUN. To where? CHOIR: THEN HIDE. From what? ALL: FROM TIME. What if I fail? CHOIR: YOU WILL. What if I lose everyone? CHOIR: YOU WILL. What if I waste my life? CHOIR: YOU MIGHT. What if none of this matters? Then why— why does losing you feel infinite? III — NO ONE IS COMING NO ONE IS COMING. NO KNOCK AT THE DOOR. NO FINAL REVELATION. NO LAST PAGE WHERE THIS ALL MAKES SENSE. YOU WANTED AN ANSWER? YOU’RE STANDING IN IT. Blood. Bone. Electricity. A nervous system learning how much it can lose. Matter opened up its eyes for one impossible second, looked at another piece of itself, and said— DON’T GO. DON’T GO. I’M NOT READY. NO ONE IS. SO WHAT DO WE DO? WE STAY WHILE WE CAN. IV — HEAT DEATH ONE DAY THE LAST STAR WILL BURN OUT. ONE DAY THE LAST WORD WILL FALL SILENT. NO MONUMENT. NO MEMORY. NO ONE LEFT TO SAY OUR NAMES. SO WHY THE FUCK AM I SPENDING MY LIFE TRYING TO BECOME SOMEBODY THE UNIVERSE CANNOT KEEP? LET IT FORGET MY NAME. LET IT ERASE MY FACE. I DON’T NEED FOREVER. I JUST NEED YOU HERE. I DON’T NEED FOREVER— I NEED YOU TO STAY. V — THE HUMAN ANSWER I kept begging for an answer until the question wore me thin. Then your hand closed around mine. The fear stayed. So did I. Maybe love is what happens when something temporary finds something it cannot bear to lose. I hate that this will end. I hate that I know it will. I hate that every perfect moment already has a shadow in it. But if I knew the exact second this would all disappear— I would still choose this. I would still choose you. Knowing what it costs. So give me all the ordinary things I was too afraid to notice: your breathing in the darkness, the weight beside me in the bed, the sound of you from another room proving, for one more second— you’re still here. VI — WE WERE HERE IF THIS IS ALL WE GET, THEN DON’T SAVE ANYTHING. IF EVERY LIGHT GOES OUT, LET YOUR FACE BE THE LAST THING I SEE. I DON’T NEED FOREVER. I DON’T NEED A SIGN. I JUST NEED YOU HERE WITH ME WHILE WE STILL HAVE TIME. ARE WE HERE? WE ARE HERE. WILL THEY REMEMBER? I DON’T CARE. WILL IT LAST? NOTHING DOES. THEN SAY IT. WE WERE HERE. WE WERE HERE. LET THE STARS COLLAPSE. LET A TRILLION YEARS ERASE THE EVIDENCE THAT WE WERE EVER HERE. Independent release by Hollow Origin.
