Manifestation of Anger
Evergreen Terrace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For me to manifest it and it to rot my soul.
Pushing out all i had for you now i take my life in your hands.
For i am forgiven.
Falling down i cry to you in my hour of darkness.
Take my life in your hands for i am nothing without you.
Tear the walls down i know that you will in these days
I look away from the light that set forth my freedom.
My heart burns from you to take it all.

He feels helpless and acknowledges that he is nothing without this person. The singer then goes on to suggest that tearing down walls and looking away from the light that represents freedom will help him to find solace.
