In an interview with Metal Chest of Wonders Andrea Ferro said about this song:
Like zombies we wander around confused but also realize that we live in this life, in this reality and we have to be adaptable to it. We feel alone sometimes, as if we were in the shadow because we live another lifestyle...
[Verse: Andrea Ferro]
Down, on my knees
Feeling lost I look around
Another day, I can see
My life crashing to the ground
[Pre-Chorus: Andrea, Cristina Scabbia]
Now that the time is ripe for change
None of the lies that I've been told
None of them lyin' preachers
Cannot curse me anymore
Our lost souls will rise above, as one
[Chorus: Cristina, Andrea]
We are alone, we are the night
We are the ghosts that come to life
We will scare away reality
When walls are fallin' down
We are alone, we aren't blind
(Walls are fallin' down)
We see the shadows from inside
We will run away and hide
When the new dawn is breaking...
(Down)
[Verse: Andrea]
Down, in the deep
It has just begun to crawl
It's the life I can't live
In a place I don't belong
[Pre-Chorus: Andrea, Cristina]
Now that the time is ripe for change
None of the lies that I've been told
None of them lying preachers
Cannot curse me anymore
Our lost souls will rise above, as one
[Chorus: Cristina, Andrea]
We are alone, we are the night
We are the ghosts that come to life
We will scare away reality
When walls are falling down
We are alone, we aren't blind
(Walls are fallin' down)
We see the shadows from inside
We will run away and hide
When the new dawn is breaking...
(Down...)
[Drum/Guitar Instrumental]
[Bridge: Cristina]
We're the ghosts that come to life
To see the shadows from inside
We will scare away reality
When walls are falling down
[Chorus/Outro: Cristina, Andrea]
We are alone, we are the night
We are the ghosts that come to life
We are alone, we aren't blind
We will run away and hide
We are alone, we are the night
We are the ghosts that come to life
We will scare away reality
When walls are falling down
(Walls are falling down)
We are alone, we aren't blind
We see the shadows from inside
We will run away and hide
When the new dawn is breaking...
Down
