This song is about him wanting to change. Wanting to become different than he is, but no matter how hard he tries he’s stuck in the same place
[VERSE 1]
I’ve been dreaming
Dreaming of a day in the end
Waiting for someone
To wake me from the dream that I’m in
I’ve been confiscating
Every shred of hope that I can
I keep on mistaking
The future for the places I’ve been
[Chorus]
Always the same
Always forever we remain
Always the same
I’m dying just to keep my place
[VERSE 2]
I’ve been breaking
And repairing everything that I make
Just to feel important
And worth the little space that I take
I keep on delaying
Everything I’d rather avoid
Rapidly decaying
And panicking I’m losing the choice
[Chorus X2]
Always the same
Always forever we remain
Always the same
I’m dying just to keep my place
[BRIDGE]
Just keep trying
Just keep fighting
Just keep going
Just keep surviving
Just keep walking
Just keep breathing
Just keep holding
Just keep believing
[BRIDGE]
Just keep trying
Just keep fighting
Just keep going
Just keep surviving
Just keep walking
Just keep breathing
Just keep holding
Just keep believing
[Chorus]
Always the same
Always forever we remain
Always the same
I’m dying just to keep my place
Always...
[BRIDGE]
Just keep trying
Just keep fighting
Just keep going
Just keep surviving
Just keep walking
Just keep breathing
Just keep holding
Just keep believing
[OUTRO]
Always the same
Always forever we remain
