Lyrics: Now tell me something Is there a point to this? Or are we living for the Feeling when we look back on what we did and reminisce? 'Cause I’ve looked within and I've read But instead I keep focusing On just how thin I can get Now I'm looking for something else I found myself, I'm someone else I keep looking for something Even though I know that it's not there (Maybe you're the reason) Every time I try to figure it out You're the only thing I can think about (Maybe you're the reason) And I think I'm dying 'Cause this can't be living Should I be searching for some kind of meaning? Apathy's a funny feeling I turned my gaze to the ceiling Thanked a God I don’t believe in for the scene outside I tried my best at sleeping but my dreams were unappealing So I searched for people in the landscape, passers by I keep looking for something Even though I know that it's not there (Maybe you’re the reason) Every time I try to figure it out You're the only thing I can think about (Maybe you're the reason) I keep looking for something Even though I know that it's not there (Maybe you’re the reason) Every time I try to figure it out You're the only thing I can think about (Maybe you're the reason)

[@ConnieAbrahams]

Some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard

[@michaelroot4425]

"I tried my best at sleeping but my dreams were unappealing" i have never spoken about this with anyone but i have aphantasia (i don't "see" my dreams i just experience storys which apperently isn't how my friends experience dreams) and i used to lucid dream and whenever i started actively "controlling" the narrative of my dream i used to get into this kind of sleep paralysis state. So i stopped trying to "control" my dreams and eventually stopped lucid dreaming. I barely ever have dreams now. I see so many people wanting to experience lucid dreaming but that can be so scary! I was so afraid to sleep at some point. It obviously doesn't have that much to do with the song but that line just brought those memories i tried so hard to supress back up and I just needed to express myself. Have a nice day, or night whenever you're reading this.

[@catchinggates]

Such a pretty song and something I went through. Or maybe we all go through it at some point. We look back to an age where we were our "most ideal selves." Maybe it was a state of mind you loved, or how you saw the world in that moment, how you behaved and were, or the things and people in your life. It was the most ideal. And then as time passes, the cycles of life changed on you again. Change of work or positions, departments, majors, friend groups, houses, rooms, cities, ideologies, state of mind. Just fluxing and then we are caught in a place that doesn't feel like home. It feels like we passed a train. That this is not the you you wanted to be yet or had been. It's like...a haunting ghost then, that "you". And for me, it was my past self, innocence. I wanted so much for this world and from it. To think I'd become this. But self love starts with accepting where you are and how you're still in progress. Amazing. Even this you, that you love or hate or are indifferent to, you will change. It's the passage of time. The cycles of life. And we have no way of knowing who we'll be in 5 years. Will we still like the same music? Will we still love ourselves and our dreams? This is what this song meant to me. I just hope you can be good to you, no matter where you are in your self development. Hope is a nightmare. And yet, the most beautiful ideal that ignites every road onward.

We all have a story behind our favourite songs. Mines not that interesting but it has its place in my life- I’m from the UK but spent the year studying in Winnipeg, Canada. I discovered this song the same day I was due to fly out to Vancouver to spend some time in British Columbia. I practically listened to it on repeat 1 the entire flight out and transfer to my hotel downtown. I’ve visited many parts of the world in my life in Europe, North America and Asia, but have yet to fall in love with somewhere like I have Vancouver. So this song will now forever go hand in hand with my favourite place in the world. A pretty big feat for one song :)
