| Description | A b-side from the Binaural sessions, this song is the other half of “Light Years,” which made the album. “Light Years” is from the perspective of a girl who passed away and left a loved one behind. “Sad” is told from the perspective of the man who remains alive. Throughout the narrative, he questions life and the existence of God. His beloved was taken away too soon, and there is no reason as to why. |
| Lyrics | [Verse 1] All the photographs were peeling, and colors turned to gray He stayed in his room with memories for days He faced an undertow of futures laid to waste Embraced by the loss of what he could not replace [Pre-Chorus 1] There is no reason that she passed And there is no god with a plan [Chorus] It's sad, and his loneliness is proof It's sad, he could only love you It's sad [Verse 2] The door swings to a passing fable, a fate we may delay We say, holding on, to live within our embrace [Pre-Chorus 2] Eleven nights, he laid in bed Hoping that dreams would bring her back [Chorus] It's sad, and his loneliness is proof It's sad, he could only love you It's sad You might also like[Bridge] Holding his last breath Believing he'll make his way, but she's not forgotten He's haunted, he's searching for escape [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus 3] If just one wish could bring her back [Chorus] It's sad, and his loneliness is proof It's sad, he will always love you It's sad |
