First things first: Boydie was so very kind and mastered this song and did a splendid job. Any remaining imperfections are solely to blame on the mix he was given to work with <3
This song was the first I wrote for my solo project Jambrains after leaving my band. I wrote it in a period of my life when I was not feeling very well at all. A lot of things happened that I could not control and one consequence of this was me leaving the band even though I really did not want to. So the verse and chorus was actually a call for help, don't listen to me I don't know what I'm doing, Don't Let Me Go.
Eventually I came out on the other side of all this stronger than before and by then I could complete the song with the last part which turns a rather dark and desperate mood 180 degrees around into a triumphal outro.
DON'T LET ME GO
The walls keep staring back at me
They offer me no clue
The ceilings falling down on me
I’m lost, what can I do?
The floor rise up to meet me
As I’m heading for the fall
I started running long ago
And I’v been running ever since
I am fighting all my demons
They come in every shape and form
But don’t let go
Don’t let me go
I'm your Cain, I am your Judas
I'm that thorn deep in your side
But don’t let go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let go
There's a place within my soul
where my heart refuse to go
where darkness reigns
where nothing grows
and fear is all I know
My dreams keep whispering fairy tales
of who I could become
if I just had the guts to face
the enemy within
I am fighting all my demons
They come in every shape and form
But don’t let go
Don’t let me go
I'm your Cain, I am your Judas
I'm that thorn deep in your side
But don’t let go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let go
But I'm still alive
I'm still kicking and screaming
I won't lay down and die
Yes, I will survive
All I can I see
is an endless horizon
it's waiting for me
time to moved on
to be free
