Lyrics
© 2026 Exidious — Lyrics/Composition/Vocal upload ────────────────────────────────── This song is about when I found out my dad had been given the diagnose of Huntington's disease, an incurable diseases (as of now) that reduces people to mere withered husks in 15 to 20 years (neurodegenerative) it causes, involuntary movements (chorea), rigidity, cognitive decline (often progressing to dementia-like symptoms) All of the events that are in this song all took 30 seconds to happen, how I figured out he had the disease, how the doctors omitted facts how hard it is to threat this or if there will ever be a cure, how he died 30 seconds after I arrived and held his hand. I myself was lucky enough to not be given this curse, as there is a 50% chance this disease is passed to the child of the parent. This was also my entry into SUNOVISION 2026. ────────────────────────────────── (Oooh) (Oooh) (Mmm) (Mmm) 30 seconds, that's all it takes One phone call, life is upside down When I came to visit your face was a mass of confusion You didn't seem to understand or realize you had called me But I knew, your face told me it all This is how it started.... (This is the start and the end of it) 30 seconds is all it takes 30 seconds that's all I get 30 seconds, that's how I knew life is unfair You have the sentence To live without you That’s my sentence That's my curse... I think back to that day, how it all started The curse that you were handed Doctors trying to tell me how you will be and act Telling me to not worry, you might be cured Once there is a breakthrough Years on years roll by, there is no breakthrough, You wither and decay, shaking and trembling.. I watch your eyes, they flicker and die I'm here holding your hand one final goodbye, for 30 seconds.... 30 seconds What can I do? 30 seconds I'm not ready for this 30 seconds... Just.. 30 seconds.. Please... don't leave me.. (This is the start and the end of it) 30 seconds is all it takes 30 seconds that's all I get 30 seconds, that's how I knew life is unfair— You have the sentence... To live without you, That’s my sentence, That's my curse... (just 30 seconds) (j-j-just 30 seconds) Just 30 Seconds (Oooh) (Oooh) (Mmm) (Mmm)
