'End Of An Era'

Song story and background information

A reflective, eerie and ambient ballad. 'End Of An Era' is partly influenced by the music of Angelo Badalamenti, and has a cinematic feel to it, with the dramatic edge of Brad Fiedel's 'Terminator' theme being hinted at. The lyrics are about splitting up, with abstract phrases concerning the freedom of starting again, contrasted with the fear of being alone. 'End Of An Era' can also be found on Trust No One's 2004 'Tempo Changes' promotional CD Sampler.

Lyrics
Caught up inside a maze: it's a disgrace - I've lost my place
Can't seem to get what I want: it all goes wrong - it's been so long
Had you: well that's what I thought, but the more we talked, the less I bought
Needed to find somewhere where I wouldn't care but we still could share

Left you for no one else but for myself, so I could tell
Someone said that was wrong: I should not have gone - I've been here too long
That's not what I need you for: just an open door; someone to abhor
I will find my own path, a life which will last in a better class

Have to move on, find a new home
Leave behind me what reminds me

Feeling that I'm getting there, that I'm more aware - starting to care
Needing no one but myself, and I know that well; my private hell
Had you: but now that is gone; it's been dead so long - it just all seemed wrong
Making a life for me now you would not allow - you just don't know how

Can't see further, lusted for her
When I take it, I just break it
If I leave here I'll lose my fear
And I just might make things work right

Found direction: complications
Things that I want - more important
Looking forward, I hurt no more
Living my life for the first time
When I leave here my mind is clear
Future's nearer - end of an era
