Lyrics:
Why so condescending
I'm done pretending
It's all fake
Might have always been
Your lies sting and I'm descending
I can't keep bending
Or I'll break
Crumble from within
Illuminate this dark place where I find myself
Before it's too late
It's nearly too late
You're fading to obscurity
Why do I keep on clinging to these memories of you and me
It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
I keep on giving but you deceive
A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
Why do I believe in what I cannot see
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
Please hate me cause this apathy is killing me (killing me)
Please hurt me cause at least it's gonna make me feel (make me feel)
Right now I can't tell the hardest part
letting go or let it consume my heart (consume my heart)
Please fight me cause this apathy is ending me (ending me)
Please break me cause at least I could begin to heal (begin to heal)
Cause I cannot tell the hardest part
You could have let me know right from the start
You could have let me know right from the start
It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
I keep on giving but you deceive
A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
Why do I believe in what I cannot see
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
You keep running away, running away, from this war
You should mean nothing to me, nothing to me, anymore
I feel I'm rotting away, rotting away, to the core
But you've got nothing to say, why do I stay, closing doors
Please hate me cause this apathy is killing me
Please hurt me cause at least it's gonna make me feel
Please leave cause it's the only way that I can heal
It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
I keep on giving but you deceive
A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
Why do I believe in what I cannot see
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing

Exelente allbum¡¡¡¡💜
Luve u guys! From Meghalaya, North East India.
Been listening to your music for a while and I really love your style of music and many bangers. So underrated, listening to your songs while studying makes me focus & concentrate.
so i know I just found you and all, but since I'm in love with everything you've created.
This is another one of those songs that could be interpreted in different ways. And while I gather most people will interpret it as being about a person, I actually kind of see this song as an ode to addiction.
Like how when it starts, everything feels fun and great. Until you're trapped in that hell, chasing a high you'll never find again, not just craving this thing, but needing it, even though all it does it tear your life apart. Until eventually, you're so far lost to that hole of addiction that you barely feel anything anymore except for the pain of waking up sick every day, and the high doesn't even feel good anymore, it just gets you straight, so that you can function, but it's an empty kind of existence. But you keep feeding into this addiction even though it doesn't feel good anymore, because at this point, you're in too deep and you've got no choice.
Not that I'd know anything about that.
i may not comment much but goddamn. This is one of the best bands i ever heard.
thanks for commenting that, glad you like it
Finally guys, I was in anxiety for this, you definitely never disappoint, great track, keep it up guys ❤
Finally indeed! Thank you so much
I
Nice!
Thank you!
@@ALESTI

No matter what he releases, it always will be
Such an amazing song. Just love how powerful it feels!!!
This is just crazy being copyright free.
You’re amazing, I can’t thank you enough! 🙏
I swear this is one of the songs that makes me shed a tear from how epic it feel, keep doing what you love this is fucking amazing!
Man. Your music is truly incredible. I feel it deep my bones. Specifically this song. I’ve had it on repeat for days.
Thank you so much! 🙏❤
💜💜
Simplesmente perfeito 🤘😎
Me encanta la canción y el trabajo gráfico enserio sé lucieron saludos desde México
🙏❤
i keep on giving but u decieveeeeeeeeeeee💔💔💔💔
@@ALESTI OMFG THE MAN HIMSELF REPLIED
😍😃😃btw i have the song dissipate as my ring tone since release
can some offer a deep analysis of the song sounds like a dude caught up in a hard break up but I wonder if it goes deeper then that edit: that line "right now I can't tell the hardest part letting go or let it consume my heart" that one hit hard I almost got teary hearing that.
Love it.
always a good day when alesti uploads
💪💪🔥🔥👌👌
Amazing song that I really feel like it struck my sensitive cord and I shed some tears on it. Nothing bad, just helped me realise that everything that hurts us and we go through makes us stronger, as we write our stories. Again, great song, good job, and thanks for making me feel things I haven't felt in a long time! ❤️
Awesome!!!
Glad you liked it!
And once again, Alesti made it 😍
Definitely in love. Every melody, rythm, lyrics, speak so much to me, to my soul.
Thanks for existing and creating these beautiful songs 🙏
Love from France
Thanks for listening! Glad you liked it
We need more song 🇧🇷🇧🇷
soon!
You and Nevertel never disappoint. 🔥
