Is there another way out
Of this mess
(That I once started
But now I can't seem to stop it)?
Is there another way out
Of this mess
(That I once started
But now I can't seem to stop it)?
And now when I look back
Everyone is still around
It never turns out the way you planned
That's something
I will never understand
Is there another way out
Of this mess
That I once started
But now I can't seem to stop it
Then suddenly...
It seems so clear to me...
And who of you just standing there
Is the one to step forward?
And who of you just standing there
Is the one to step forward?
And who of you just standing there
Is the one to step forward --
And come clean?
Ljungblut is the side project of Kim Ljung, otherwise known for his work with Zeromancer. Kim desribes his work here as, "a cross of Martin Gore, Trent Reznor and David Sylvian. Songs about unconditional love and hate. Listening to my albums should give you the feeling of being lonely in the company of others."
It does just that, and "Capitals" (the album from which this song is taken) is one of my personal favorite releases of recent years. Every song is so intimate and heartfelt, and the subtle beauty of each just becomes even more clear upon each repeated listen.
All copyright belongs to Kim Ljung/Ljungblut/Words of Wonder (label). If you like this song, do yourself a favor and purchase the entire album. I promise you will not be disappointed.
