Please read:

For as long as I can remember, I've been thoughtful person. I'd rather spend hours thinking about something instead of just doing it.
Often this lead to me getting lost in the 'what-if''s and lastly to a complete blockade inside of my head.
For example, I couldn't accept something nice about me because I had to think about it for so long until I found a reason why that compliment could not be true.
There was no situation where I could just enjoy the moment and let myself breathe.

The older I got, the worse it became until I felt like I was not completely myself anymore.
I was lost in over-reflecting every second of my life.
Good feelings didn't last longer than a moment and bad ones I just pushed away until I they didn't hurt anymore. Everything would be over-analysed and over-rationalised and thus I reached a point where real emotions scared me so much that I wished to just get rid of them.
I wished to not feel anymore.

At that point I realised that I needed to change something and very slowly I allowed myself to be emotional again. I tried to really look into myself and FEEL what was going on. I allowed myself to be really happy and really sad again.
To me, a person can never be just his mind or just his emotions. It's a interwoven relationship between the two.

That's what this song is about.
Reconnecting those two parts, the emotional and the rational side. Because that is what makes us human, being able to think a situation through but also to just go by your guts :-)

lyrics

Verse 1:

Let's face the truth, my friend
The weight that you bear
will drain us in the end

Can't we find peace, my friend
Cause the war that I wage
will will never help us mend

Pre-Chorus:

And when we both go down from the same fight
And when your days turn into my darkest nights
I know, we're one

Chorus:

Redefine, Realign what's inside or we won't survive this
Recombine broken storylines and make us whole again

Verse 2:

Am I lost in thoughts again
Overwhelmed by what could be
Exhausted from what has been

Insecurity spreads from within
Foreshadowing failure
before I even begin

Pre-Chorus:

Is this really how it should be
Falling deeper into this hole
Reconnecting these parts of me
Is the only way I can grow

Chorus:

Redefine, Realign what's inside or we won't survive this
Recombine broken storylines and make us whole again
