If I were you, I would scroll right back up, viewer of the comments. You are certainly not prepared for the science vs religion shootout that is happening in the comments. Please, scroll back up and save yourself. I didn't and I wasted an hour on this comment section only to see bullshit by both sides. SCROLL BACK UP, ENJOY THE SONG AND SAVE YOURSELF!

Lyrics! In another time, we would be as one In another place, our lives would've only just begun We walk beneath the sun, we lie beneath the stars We grow upon the Earth, and this is what we are It didn't have to be this way, but this is what we are The wasted years have passed so slowly Without connection to my only The end is near defining lonely Is anybody there to show me? You don't believe in space You don't believe in light You don't believe that anything is well beyond your might We walk across the sky and beneath the ocean floor We're never going anywhere we've never been before It doesn't have to be this way This isn't who we are The wasted years have passed so slowly Without connection to my only I will not live without you near me Love cannot fit inside a theory The end is near defining lonely Is anybody there to show me

and I personally dont find a religous undertone, though the thing with poetry is that it is open to speculation and interpretation.

Found this song because I felt so hurt I just typed "save me, i'm in pain" and this song popped up with some others. This one caught my attention. I listened to all the songs and cried the night away until I felt better. I love this band now

I'm rick Harrison and this is my pawn shop

I find it strange that something so sad can be so beautiful.

To those who constantly fight about religion and science, to those who attack so aggressively the might as well draw blood, I have this to say to you: It doesn't have to be this way, This isn't who we are. It doesn't have to be this way, This isn't who we are.

This came up in the weekly discovery playlist in Spotify... and ... just WOW. I LOVE it. It's beautiful! I love the singing, the instrumentation... everything about it. I love you Spotify!

KZfaq is a WORLD ON FIRE, I wish I could do something LOUDER THAN WORDS to get my message across. The mindset now is TORTURE. WHAT YOU NEED and what we all need is for the day that the old KZfaq mindset where no one argued about religion to come back. How I wish the old youtube mindset would COME BACK TO ME. Yet HERE COMES THE REIGN of people who argue about unrelated topics on amazing songs like these.

Wonderful song. Les Friction are a very unique group in making music with words in them. It gives a strange feeling when you listen to it. Something only Les Friction can do.

First I fell in love with firewall, then I fell in love with louder than words, then dark matter ah hell I love it all now :) rock on you frictions

Am I the only one who always thought of this as a love song?

THIS would be so awesome in some movie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I just discovered this group today, and can't see how I have lived without them up until this point.

Whatever this song is about, it's beautiful. All I know is that I love listening to this band.

I take this song as us as humans losing the premise of what we are "This isn't who we are." This line speaks a thousand words, now, bear with me, I may get a little over-analytical here. But I agree with this song, if it is to be taken this way, because we have lost sight of ourselves, fighting amongst race, gender, religion, and one simple thing you find people arguing over on the internet too much, opinion. It's all futile to fight, we never get anywhere by fighting. We just have to accept differences that we have, what has fighting ever done for anyone? Devastation and regret. We have completely let go of ourselves at this point. I know this post isn't really gonna ever gain ground on the internet, but I do hope you there, reading this, can at least open your eyes to the truth, and see what we've done to ourselves. It's our fault history is brutal. It's our fault our word is dying. We made all these problems, we decided to make life this way. We forgot about what was important. We forgot humanity. The planet. The animals. At this point, we're reverting to something horrid. Unimaginable. Even scary. Life, if we keep going in this path we've taken, will end for us. We're a dying species. Humans are endangered because of this mindset that has been implanted into our brains which we call "Human nature." It's not natural. I would like to end this with one simple word: Change.

Bought the actual hardcopy CD, because these guys deserve all my support

This made me cry once I listened to it on acid.

I really hope Kojima Catches wind of this Song, it would be a perfect song for a Metal Gear Solid V trailer

an underrated band. hoping to see them reach for the top. :)

This song sounds like it would fit a trailer for a movie/tv show about an epic battle and equally epic love story...or is that just me?

This man has crazy vocals!

That would make the universe explode from awesomeness. I totally agree with you!

Can't believe the song's already ten years old, damn

I Found out this group today and now i realise that this is my part of life...

This song is absolutely haunting!

This would be perfect for a mass effect trailer

I love everything about this. I always told myself that Vonlichten's music could never have lyrics... but this is fantastic. Im excited to start hearing these in movie trailers Hahaha

Heard this song. Immediately bought the album. NO REGRETS. =)

I am now addicted to Les Friction!

Your post nailed it perfectly.

I was looking for this song like crazy! heard it in some promo .. never knew the band, couldn't tell who is singing ... thank you for sharing this great profound song!

Why is everyone complaining about the song, the song is excellent, and if you're religious or not, both sides will say the same. The lyrics do have certain links to a god, but in our modern society it would (almost) be impossible to rely on only God. And take it from me, i'm raised with God and I believe in him, the only thing he gives to you is what you need the most and what you deserve. Please people, stop arguing and enjoy the song.

I have been listening to Les Friction a lot ever since discovering them at random, and sharing them with any friends who will listen, too lol :D

thank you someone who finally agrees

I agree although I'm Christian. Music should be measure by the content and the message in the song. This song isn't about religion, but I love the power in the lyrics. "It doesn't have to be this way, This isn't who we are." Just what humanity has come to brings so much power behind the lyrics.

TIP YOUR FEDORAS AND CLANK YOUR MTN DEW TOGETHER BECAUSE THIS SONG IS CALLED STRING THEORY AND THAT IS THE MOST LEGITIMATE REASON TO ARGUE OVER BELIEFS AS ANY RIGHT? ...It's not? Oh, my ego- it has been pierced.

this is like the answer to all religious arguments...you deserve an award my friend.

That's art in general :3 And music is a form of art.

Your so right.

Beautiful song .....!

Both this and instrumental are cool

"This isn't who we are" PRICELESS!

All for one and one for All. I am the one and the world is the all. It only takes one to change the all.

Melody & Lyrics stings every nerve in ur body.

i can't understand why does it only have 76000 views?

thanks for uploading these songs! I think i will buy the album now :P

Love it.

What a beautifull song *-*

You can all stop discussing religion now, because this is what this song is about: "The year is 2048 AD. Humans are now able to leave their earthly home and travel to other dimensions. While traveling, a shell of their body remains on earth and functions at a reduced capacity. For most people, life is more interesting and entertaining in these alternate dimensions; however, having neglected their loved ones at home, society on earth begins to deteriorate." Etc. but it's too long to fit here.

Wow man exactly the same... I was watching the oscars.. the commercials were constantly playing this song!

Thank you.

@RC15O5 I heard they weren't going to release more music because of the death of his brother, which made me so much more excited seeing this album. Seems like a lot of the lyrics have a dedication to him. I'm just glad E.S. Posthumus is still alive.

just the song i am looking for

Love it

Religion doesn't explain jacksquat, it just pretends it does. Science is constantly pushing the boundaries, making new discoveries. We can't exactly say the same thing for religion can we.

How the fck.. Did u. Think off this. This beyond imaginable beauty

@WhatWhenWhereJam Very nice said man. I feel it same way.

thank you, you are a great person

THANK YOU!

I see this song as less of a theological debate and more about choosing to see meaning beyond crippling nihilism. Like, it's possible to believe in science without being a nihilist, and religion isn't devoid of its own nihilism. I don't see the religion/atheism themes people apparently think are in this song.

These comments are song abuse.

Thanks for the head up

Im just lying on my bed and imagining me in epic battle. Here am I as hero and Im kneeing upon my dead enemy and thinking about old times when we were as brothers...

@EmilyNicoleEllis It's the album art, find it anywhere you can but it digitally.

love les friction :)

@RC15O5 From The Ashes Of E.S. Posthumus! Loving This!

here's the Description on their "About" Page; The year is 2048 AD. Humans are now able to leave their earthly home and travel to other dimensions. While traveling, a shell of their body remains on earth and functions at a reduced capacity. For most people, life is more interesting and entertaining in these alternate dimensions; however, having neglected their loved ones at home, society on earth begins to deteriorate.

Love cannot reside in a theory Wow that's deep

" is there anybody there to show me?" no. There is not. There is only you. To show yourself.. Who you truly are. Feel the truth. This is the only way. I have learned this from this music.

Sollavelan feels anyone? Anyone who's played DAI and Trespasser will get it. ;) *sits back and awaits the sobbing

beauitful song, Im dying, this is my music!!

So is life; but you don't see me complaining :)

I like this song :)

I can see where you're coming from with that...but I would see it as the character is contemplating how his life has been incomplete without his or her "only", and, if you're talking about death, if they will die along/incomplete as well.

I'm an atheist, but even if this song is about religion, it doesn't matter to me, because it sounds good. I'm not going to avoid listening to a good song just because it's about religion.

Cheers lad.

thanks for the warning man! dont know what its about, will enver find out!

The question I'm wondering is: Did Corvo make that jump, or did he have to Blink up? (Also, guys, it's a song- please just enjoy the music and drop the religion/science stuff for just four minutes).

I get high from this song. And Many others Les Friction's songs.

yes

*Reads most of the comments* Y SO SERIOUS? =u=

me too

And, as to your comment a month ago, there are many Christian scientists. There are also many scientists of varying religions that can believe both in science as well as their religion. Just because you can't do so doesn't mean others can't.

now I'm an Agnostic Atheist, and to me this song has no religious undertow to it. To me i has the undertow of a love song from one soul mate to another possibly in the final moments of the death of one of the people fighting to get back to their body on earth.

I think I might actually have something better ... but it depends upon licensing, of course. But Helmut and Nihl are absolutely sensational, and with this composer ... it could be magic. Stay tuned.

Im the subsriber number 2014 Yay!:D

What do you play as a single man stands against an army, knowing that his life is forfeit for the lives of hundreds retreating behind him? This song.

Exactly, religion is subjective, science is objective. Religion has beliefs, science has opinions. Opinions are malleable to the evidence available, beliefs are not.

Hey look, it's Corvo Attano.

He is singing about humanity and how it is stuck in materialism , not able to look beyond that or within ourself to find the mysteries and secrets of life.All of his songs have to do with the war between the masculine and feminine principle (white and black).

@chony93 I believe it may have something to do with String Theory's relation to relativity, and how it can't really be attributed to true human nature. "Love cannot fit inside a theory" seems to be the direct relation in the song. As one of the possible theories for everything, it's hard to imagine that human nature could be explained in a theory. I believe that's the meaning of the title. Then again I know nothing of physics so I could be talking right out my back end. :)

I might be going out on a limb here, but does anyone else share my idea that this song could be considered (in a round-about way) an episode of confusion regarding death? The last few lines seem to imply that the character (of the vocalist) is agonizing over death because there is no way to know what comes after it.

Very Nice :)

It doesn't have to be this way This isn't who we are The end is near defining lonely In another place our lives would've only just begun (hell or heaven)

Even if he is your God, Him isn't supposed to be capitalized.

The words that are being lost...

@RC1505, you should in the description suggest E.S. Posthumus sense that was the precursor to this stuff before Helmut's brother died :/ It is amazing stuff too! I really like the flavor they brought with this, though! Beautiful!

@corsonator now check out E.S. Posthumus, equally as amazing, they did the instrumentals for this album I believe.

me too :D
