about

Departure was the song with the most revisions to structure on the album. Originally a more straightforward and heavy song, it morphed into one of the more dynamic, emotional, and reflective songs on the album. It's about a character in the last moments of his life as he begins his journey into the bleak, expansive void of the next life. One of the most prominent aspects of this song is the heavy use of piano and strings.

We released a lyric video for this song earlier in 2019. Thanks to Cloud Music Typography for the kickass work!

lyrics

Left with more questions than answers
As I embark for the unknown

A reel of memories plays in my mind
And blinding light calls me inside

Accepting the truth that we all must face
Comfort washes over fear as I slip away

I feel the pull of the other side
Tearing me away

As suffering fades

Vacuous eyes slowly closing
As I leave this world behind
Darkness wraps its arms around me
But in the distance I see the most blinding light

I step inside

Vast and empty
This land of eternity

I try to scream, but no sound leaves
I fall to my knees as emptiness takes hold of me

Time is now meaningless
Forever, my soul wanders this abyss
