Discover the story of the song > The Acolyte – Alesana

The protagonist is feeling lost and tired, with no happiness or good memories left. They want their partner to wake up and realize the darkness they're in. They feel like they're screaming for help and wondering if they have any chance of fighting back. The protagonist wants to take back what they believe belongs to them. They urge their partner to understand that they're not ready for goodbyes and they can't bring their partner back if they leave. They wish they could think outside the box and solve the problems they're facing. They want to shatter the hourglass and tear through reality to create a utopia. They feel like they're far from their dreams and trapped in a cursed place. They want to escape and destroy everything until there's nothing left but a hole in the sky.
