Destroyer
Panama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God, how I wish YOU COULD BE HERE
You have to be me, you have to believe
I know how I was for you through time
We tell "I LOVE YOU"

Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer

God, how I want for THIS TO BE REAL
It has to be clear, it has to be right
I did which I had done,?? and so cold

Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer

Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer

Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer

Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer

The chorus, which repeats the line "Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer" emphasizes the idea that time is slipping away and that the longing for the other person is causing a destructive impact on the singer's life.

Lyrics✨✨

God how I wish you could be here
You have to be near, you have to believe
You know how I want for you to return
Beaten and alone

Ooh oh oh, your such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, I'm such a time destroyer

God how I want for this to be real
It has to be clear, it has to be right
Hiding in shadows
Broken and so cold

Ooh oh oh, your such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, I'm such a time destroyer

Ooh oh oh, your such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, I'm such a time destroyer

Ooh oh oh, your such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, I'm such a time destroyer
