about

This song is the sister of my other new song 'The Struggle to Forgive". I wrote this song a few weeks afterwards. I say it is the 'sister' because it is about the same turmoil (see my description of The Struggle to Forgive). Lost All Meaning represents the continuation of this hard journey and is a marker on the road for the moment that I hit rock bottom in my turmoil. I know it's depressing, but this song was born in the moment that I really did feel for the first time in my life that there was no sense in believing in good anymore. You'll find that the song is similar to its 'sister' in that it is also in 3-4 time, like a waltz. I find this happens a lot, that the songs which share the same story/feeling tend to have a similar structure when they come out of me.

lyrics

The night lifts up the shade
and I feel myself to fade.
The stars circle the earth
and I don't know anything but hurt.

And everyday I'm wandering away.
I do not remember the way I came.
And everyday I'm falling away
and I don't know how to explain…

How I'm going to fix this
cause I don't think I know how.

The water baffles the brook.
The trees confuse the sky.
And you and I
stand here and watch the wind blow us around
and we don't want to ask why
or where we're going to land.

And I don't think I know how
I can fix this.

Give me a reason
to believe in good.
Give me some sign that
everything can be fine.
Cause I have lost all meaning.
I have lost all my sense in believing.
