TO NEVER BE KNOWN
“This song at its core is my introverted mind longing for legacy. It’s a contrast, especially when you listen to the second chorus, which the first part is a fear of being left alone and never known, and the second part contrasting it by saying how that idea actually sounds good and how great it would feel to be lost for good and never known. I feel like these extremely contrasting thoughts are really a staple of what it feels like to be human. We desire a legacy, validation and admiration from those around us and even strangers, but also have the ability to find peace in solitude and keeping to ourselves. This contrast is beautiful and both are needed.”
LYRICS
Come
Stand here with me
Stare at the peak
Of mountains we’ve known
We
Study their height
So maybe we might
Someday feel home
And I won’t feel alone
Buried in snow
Caught in the cold
To never be known
Come
Lay here with me
Fade in the deep
Everwood
Tell
The Secrets you keep
Tell me everything
You never could
And I won’t feel alone
Buried in snow
Caught in the cold
To never be known
Let’s get lost for good
Deep in the woods
If only we could
To never be known
Carry it all
Scared of it all
Just hold a light
For me tonight
There where it stood
Where only it could
Can you see
The Everwood
