System Syn - If You Never Heal

Well this song has been on my mind and in my ears for hours upon end today. It describes so much when it comes to breaking down the lyrics. Here they are.
“These things I know
Are reflections of myself
And you can’t call
Couldn’t do that to yourself
They say I’ll never heal
They say I’ll never feel again
And I believe them
I believe them
You’re waiting for your ship to come in
Like searching for the star you already watched fall
These things don’t happen twice
And if you never heal
If you never feel again
I won’t place the blame on you
I will take the shame my friend
These things I know
Will never speak a sound
This silent promise
Will be our only common ground”
These lyrics are so daunting at times if you really break them down. I admit I have always played a song or found one that I relate to everything that has been going on in my life, good or bad, industrial or not. (Industrial and the related genres like EBM, Power Noise, Gothic, Synthpop, Freezepop, etc, have always described me better.) I’m sure many of you do the same.
So people let’s go with today’s breakdown of the song. Well for one, you can tell that this song is for those tortured souls who just ended a recent relationship and still feel for the other. Great song to listen to for easing the mind from the breakup and will help cope with all that has happened.
I do believe it has a hidden power in the lyrics as well. I think that this song can be rather hateful if looked at in a different light. For instance,
“You’re waiting for your ship to come in
Like searching for the star you already watched fall
These things don’t happen twice..”
I think can basically tell a person off and leaves a message of “HA you messed up and lost something that was GREAT. Enjoy, jerk.” Then again that could just be me. If that’s the case, then what about this part of the song.
“These things I know
Will never speak a sound
This silent promise
Will be our only common ground…”
What’s this… a second meaning of hatefulness in the song?! Decay, you MUST be nuts! Perhaps but still, take a gander at what it could mean. It could be saying that even though the other person may not presently know or will never know that the other has taken the responsibility and placed all of the guilt of the break up on their shoulders, they will never say it to the other, but it leaves them with the last thing they will have in common; ignorance.
Not a very the best last thing to have in common when it comes to a break up but hey, it happens all the time in relationships.
Overall, this is a great song for moods of anger and sadness. If you are looking for a pick-me-up song, try listening to Zombie Girl or even Ayria. This song can be found on the 2005 release of ‘ Postscript. ‘
As Always, Here is A Fix.
