Released on all streaming services on 01/04/2022, "SHALLOW END" was announced suddenly by Diminished Reason after over 2 years of silence from the band. Written as a stand alone single to be added to the bands already vast setlist, Shallow end lit the fire that became the bands inspiration to continue writing during the worldwide pandemic - eventually forming the catalyst that became the full track listing of their Eternity EP.
lyrics
LYRICS:
Silence all the thoughts running free in your mind,
Blinded to the fact you'll get left behind,
Deafening the words ringing true in your ear,
Opening your eyes, to the truths that you fear.
To the truths that you fear...
Another wave crashes over my head,
I never wanna do that again,
I stand up, I was standing in the Shallow End...
Silence all the thoughts running free in your mind,
Blinded to the sight of the blind leading the blind,
Deafening the words you no longer fear,
Opening your eyes to the truths that you hear
To the truths that you hear!
Another wave crashes over my head,
I never wanna do that again,
I stand up, I was standing in the Shallow End...
Save yourself, there's no hero in waiting...
Or you'll be drowned by the weight of it all,
Struggle to stand in a crowd,
Of bad decisions,
Now we drown....
Now we drown....
From the choices we're living,
From the choices we're living.....
Another wave crashes over my head,
I never wanna do that again,
I stand up, I was standing in the Shallow End...
Save yourself, there's no hero in waiting...
Or you'll be drowned by the weight of it all,
Struggle to stand in a crowd,
Of bad decisions,
Now we drown....
