This is a song about Marshall, and what it means to have the power to see moments in time that no one else can, and witness people and events unraveling from the fabric of time itself.
It is about the loneliness and frustration of having a great power that no one will ever understand, and what kind of trauma it might be to live in such a way where one is constantly witnessing lives disappear from existence.

Contradiction lyrics by Containher
Time is erased and the knots unfurl
and you won't remember, no you won't remember who you were
Life is a vase where the flowers stand
'til they wilt away, all to be replaced
but i still remember all your colors, all the words,
Who you were
I tried to hold the sun, show the light to everyone…it burned me
The people laughed and stared, in the end..see, no one cared to know
Time haunts me while they sleep,
all the records that I keep alone, on my own, as I walk in the shadows of the stones I've turned
I tried to hold the sun, show the light to everyone..it burned..me
I know who you are, the very core of your thread in the fabric of being in this broken world.
I remember you, I can't forget, no regrets as i see you vanish through that open door
I remember you, know who you are
I remember you, know who you are
I know who you are, the very core of your thread in the fabric of being in this broken world.
