    Lyrics:
    I was lying in my bed
    A creature void of form
    Been so afraid of everything
    I need a chance to be reborn
    I never wanted anything
    That someone had to give
    I don’t live here anymore
    When I think about the old days, babe
    You’re always on my mind
    I know it ain’t like I remember
    I guess my memory runs wild
    Like when we went to see Bob Dylan
    We danced to “Desolation Row”
    But I don’t live here anymore
    And I got no place to go
    Beating like a heart
    I’m gonna walk through every doorway
    I can’t stop
    I need some time
    I need control
    I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know
    I’m gonna say everything that there is to say
    Although you’ve taken everything I need away
    I’m gonna make it to the place I need to go
    We’re all just walkin’ through this darkness on our own
    Now time surrounds me like an ocean
    My memories like waves
    Is life just dying in slow motion?
    I’m getting stronger everyday
    I never took our love for granted
    You never left me wanting more
    But you’d never recognize me, babe
    I don’t live here anymore
    Beating like a heart
    I’m gonna walk through every doorway
    I can’t stop
    I need some time
    I need control
    I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know
    I’m gonna say everything I need to say
    Although you’ve taken everything I need away
    I’m gonna take it to the place I need to go
    We’re all just walkin’ through this darkness on our own

    I shared this song with my 71 year old dad, who had never heard it. He text me back "yeah, I've always loved that song!" Because of how beautiful and nostalgic it is, he assumed it was a classic from the 80's that he remembered. God, I love this band!

    The female backup singers really help make this song. Rather than just "frill," they add an orchestral punch all their own, and so they end up being worth listening to all in themselves. Excellent complement.

    The morning after my mother passed away from cancer, my dad and I had to go to the funeral home to get things squared away for the funeral. As we came into the parking lot, this song came on the radio. We sat and listened to the whole thing before going inside. This song helps me to feel connected with everyone who experiences loss and that feeling of being lost, in whatever form it takes. A truly beautiful song.

    LYRICS
    [Verse 1: Granduciel]
    I was lying in my bed
    A creature void of form
    Been so afraid of everything
    I need a chance to be reborn
    I never wanted anything
    That someone had to give
    I don't live here anymore
    I went along [with it?]
    [Verse 2: Granduciel]
    When I think about the old days, babe
    You're always on my mind
    [And now / I know] it ain't like I remember
    I guess my memories run wild
    Like when we went to see Bob Dylan
    We danced to "Desolation Row"
    But I don't live here anymore
    But I got no place to go
    [Chorus: Granduciel & Granduciel with Lucius]
    Beating like a heart
    I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
    I need some time, I need control, I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know
    I'm gonna say everything that there is to say
    Although you've taken everything I need away
    I'm gonna make it to the place I need to go
    We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
    [Verse 3: Granduciel]
    Time surrounds me like an ocean
    My memories like waves
    Is life just dying in slow motion
    Or getting' stronger everyday?
    I never took our love for granted
    You never left me wanting more
    But you never recognize me babe
    I don't live here anymore
    [Chorus: Granduciel & Granduciel with Lucius]
    Beating like a heart
    I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
    I need some time, I need control, I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know

    Although you've taken everything I need away
    I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go
    We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
    Beating like a heart
    I'm gonna walk through every doorway, I can't stop
    I need some time, I need control, I need your love
    I wanna find out everything I need to know
    I'm gonna say everything that I need to say
    Although you've taken everything I need away
    I'm gonna take you to the place I need to go
    We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
    [Outro: Lucius]
    We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own

      Desolation row -> ‘they’re painting the passports brown (fascism/covid proof of vaccine)... the circus is in town ... the blind commissioner... they've got him in a trance (media brainwashing/pressure to conform/police a specific narrative)... And the riot squad they're restless, they need somewhere to go (ie. after the resistance) ... As Lady (the “woman” is taken to safety/shelter from the storm... while awaiting the bridegroom’s arrival)... and I (a watchman)... look out (keeping watch) tonight (=from the darkness)... (the betrayer/treacherous betrays/cheats in the cover of darkness... )
      It’s quite smart, as Dylan loaded so many (symbolic) images into the two songs referenced-granduciel is sort of having his cake and eating it too... ie. he made what sounds like a cool pop song, that floats (not heavy) as it’s kind of shallow (in comparison to the weight of a Dylan masterpiece), he’s barely casting any aspersions in the process-but once you dig into Dylan’s lyrics, you know he’s actually pointing towards what is happening-the darkness that the world is in. He’s subtly playing the role of the town crier... (again by quoting a previous town crier) ‘it’s 12 o’clock and all is (not) well... get out while you can, the enemy has landed...’

    First time I heard TWOD I was driving home in a summer afternoon after playing my music during a festival. Every time I hear a new song by them, I always go back to that beautiful moment which has gone, and this song seems to be composed just for this sensation... Thank you God for giving us these awesome artists and those strong emotions

    They squeeze more juice out of two chord songs than any other band going.

      On point. But they also have an added good vibe to these two chords.

      IV - V chord progressions have gorgeous and almost “hopeful” and “metamorphic” melodic possibilities

      I wasn't sure if your comment was said with sarcasm or not. But I don't think having a story attached to a piece of music is optional for many people. It's just the way of things. Music has an amazing ability to take a given moment we are living through and providing a safe and certain place for that memory to be held. I for one can't imagine it being any other way as I'm sure so many others couldn't. It a great gift music gives us.
