[Verse 1]
I step outside to be defeated
Oh, I'm suspended by a parting thread
A fool awash with wine
Migrated far to be convicted
You sucked me in and you bled me dry
It's a song we need to cry
[Chorus]
Even if we try
We can't live forever
I gave you my shards of sky
But we can barely see the reflection
We'll just live to see the essence die
[Verse 2]
I'm calculating our criterion
And listen hard for the note of serеnity
But I didn't mind the heat
I remеmber well the contradictions
How you turned your face towards the city lights
And the shadow fell behind
[Chorus]
Even if we try
We can't live forever
I gave you my shards of sky
But we can barely see the reflection
We'll just live to see the essence die
[Chorus]
Even if we try (Try)
We can't live forever
I gave you my shards of sky
But we can barely see the reflection
Even if we try (Even if we try)
We can't live forever
I gave you my shards of sky
But we can barely see the reflection
We'll just live to see the essence die
Impermanence was written by Jonas Renkse.
Impermanence was produced by Katatonia.
Katatonia released Impermanence on Fri Jan 20 2023.
It’s one of the later songs I wrote for the album. It’s a heavy ballad with a really nice hook in the chorus. It’s got a feature from Joel [Ekelöf] from the Swedish band Soen. We’ve been talking about doing something together for some time, but it never really amounted to anything beyond just talk....
