about

the song is about not having any direction in life nor the motivation to find any. When you think you're moving forward, you're hit with setback after setback.

lyrics

for i am invalid
such is a curse
the struggle of finding my place on this earth

you are replaced
by the burn of abandonment.
so go find yourself
and stay out west. all i hope for is the best.

with backwards knees, these stagnant bones are left to lead.
never stopping, ever wandering, this compass spins for me.

can you stand straight?
get off your knees.

Forever null are my attempts.
Won't be here for long.
Forever null are my intents.
With backwards knees.
