Against the Absolute Lyrics

Lyrics by Jouni Koskela (May 2013)

When you are bare naked before the surrounding world
the insecurities translate to turbulent and paralyzing fears
Dictating everything including your thoughts that foreshadow
each and every single one of your deeds indefinitely

The path is wide open for the terrors that come in great numbers
Clad in psychotic misconceptions of perpetual abandonment
Deteriorating the defensive mechanisms
until the self has no other way but commencing destruction

What are you able to do when you're going against yourself?
To betray your righteous self or fortify your inhibitions?
And then you know the doors are shut as you've closed them all by yourself
Whilst the depression peaks at yearning for full redemption

[Guitar Solo by Joonas Kaselius]

This vivid imagery of deception dominates all levels of thought
Blurring your perception of reality to delusional distraught
Feel the locks build upon one another, layer after layer
Until you feel safe enough while submitting to manic, reckless behavior

What are you able to do when you're going against yourself?
To betray your righteous self or fortify your inhibitions?
And then you know the doors are shut as you've closed them all by yourself
Whilst the depression peaks at yearning for full redemption
