"Abandoned" is a song by The Gliding Faces from the album Veritas. "We wanted to do something that changed time signature, as I recall," Dan says. "Max had the idea of going from triplets to four-on-the-floor and, yeah, it just gelled really nicely." Max says, "'Abandoned' is a song about, well, abandonment! Exploring how it feels and how claustrophobic the loneliness can feel post-being-abandoned."
Lyrics
An empty chair An empty bed Everything empty Except my head An empty chair An empty bed Everything empty Except my head You, yourself alone And how you left It's me, myself and I Bereft It's me, myself and I You abandoned I was unaware Were you even there I was in my head Abandoned Left for dead An empty chair An empty bed Everything empty Except my head An empty soul An empty heart Everything empty Now we're apart An empty chair An empty bed Everything empty Except my head An empty soul An empty heart Everything empty Now we're apart You, yourself alone And how you left The choices, random I pay the debt It's me, myself and I You abandoned I was unaware Were you even there I was in my head Abandoned Left for dead An empty chair An empty bed Everything empty Except my head An empty soul An empty heart Everything empty Now we're apart An empty chair An empty bed Everything empty Except my head An empty soul An empty heart Everything empty Now we're apart
