about

This song deals with a huge theme on this album, which is contradiction. The name Janus is taken from The Roman God of beginnings and transitions, gates, doorways, endings and time. A two-faced god who looks into the past and future at the same time.

lyrics

I don't know how I turned out to be
Living the way I am
My days are so uneventful and I hate it
But at the same time I don't give a damn

And you don't know what it's like
For your mind to contradict itself
Every day of your life
And you don't know what it's like
For your heart to contradict itself
Every day of your life

I don't know how long I could go on
Living the way that I am
So discontent with this boredom
But too dispirited to change anything

[chorus]

And as I laid on my side
My pillow got damper with each minute that went by
Cold, salty tears streamed over the plains of my face
Quick to the bridge of my nose, then falling to my other cheek
And I passed out, thinking of the life I'd taken for granted
And the love I've never shown to all the people that deserve to have seen it

[chorus]
