‘Albatross’ is about dealing with an overwhelming sense of guilt. It also discusses trying to part with the dark side of yourself.
Cast out from the light to the dark abyss that calls by name
Cast me out from sight to deny the fact that you're to blame
I'll shed this skin out of disgrace
Scatter pieces in disarray
In disarray
With my contorted vision, I'm surrounded by my fears
I close my eyes and pretend to disappear
Submerged in the shadows
That make their way through my veins
Just a host for vile intentions
Becoming my shackles and chains
Now look at what I've become
Severed from my former self
Less remains, thе more I delve
I divе down deep into the pits of despair
Where I'll sink and find the peace within a life lost
My albatross
Contradiction's always led me
To a world that's torn apart
My desperation for an answer
Felt just like a blade to the heart
Cast out from the light to the dark abyss that calls by name
Cast me out from sight to deny the fact that you're to blame (To blame)
My albatross
Like a blade to the heart
The dark abyss, it tore my world apart
