1.000.000 Lightyears
Amaranthe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop and let my mind reflect
And capture my emotions
Elize Ryd:
Run towards the end
Just to appraise your own devotion
Andreas Solveström
Steal, adrenaline is what I need
To keep on moving
Elize Ryd
Fight to let them now that I'll do
Elize Ryd & Andreas Solveström
Anything to prove it
Elize Ryd
You run, you steal and won't give up a fight
Stop me, your illusion might reflect your past
And now you want it back
Elize Ryd & Jake E
I run through time and space
See the world from afar
Where my journey turns into a race
I will roam the Earth
And I'll conquer the stars
If you have one thousand reasons to stay
Then I'll be one million light-years away (Solveström: Away)
Jake E
Fall into a void and
Rumble round among deception
Andreas Solveström
Hide behind the curtain
To deny these accusations
Elize Ryd
Stay just so the world
Could see you leave in desperation
Fly towards the Sun this is the
Elize Ryd & Andreas Solveström
Countdown to extinction
Elize Ryd
You fall, you hide, afraid to lose your life
You stay, but just so you could fly astray
A million miles away
Elize Ryd & Jake E
I run through time and space
See the world from afar
Where my journey turns into a race
I will roam the Earth
And I'll conquer the stars
If you have one thousand reasons to stay
Then I'll be one million light-years away
Andreas Solveström
Can't stay, a lie perfected
It's so bizarre (So bizarre)
You stay and pray for wonders
To deny it all
Elize Ryd & Jake E
I run through time and space
See the world from afar
Where my journey turns into a race
I will roam the Earth
And I'll conquer the stars
If you have one thousand reasons to stay
Then I'll be one million light-years away
I run through time and space
See the world from afar
Where my journey turns into a race
I will roam the Earth
And I'll conquer the stars
If you have one thousand reasons to stay
Then I'll be one million light-years away

Stop and let my mind reflect
I pause to introspect and ponder my thoughts
And capture my emotions
I take hold of my feelings and understand them
Run towards the end
I sprint towards the finish line of my goal
Just to appraise your own devotion
To evaluate one's own commitment to the cause
Steal, adrenaline is what I need
I take risks to feel the rush of excitement
To keep on moving
In order to continue progressing
Fight to let them know that I'll do
I assert my determination to onlookers
Anything to prove it
I am willing to do whatever it takes to show my dedication
You run, you steal and won't give up a fight
You take action, take risks and refuse to surrender
Stop me, your illusion might reflect your past
The illusion you have created could reveal your previous experiences
And now you want it back
You long for things that you have lost
I run through time and space
I move swiftly across dimensions
See the world from afar
Observe the earth from a great distance
Where my journey turns into a race
Where my expedition becomes a competition
I will roam the Earth
I will travel extensively around the planet
And I'll conquer the stars
I will triumph over the universe
If you have one thousand reasons to stay
If you can justify staying in one place
Then I'll be one million light-years away (Away)
I will be very far, unreachable
Fall into a void and
Plummet into an empty space
Rumble round among deception
Tumble among deceitful surroundings
Hide behind the curtain
Conceal oneself behind a partition
To deny these accusations
To reject the claims made against oneself
Stay just so the world
Remain only for the benefit of others
Could see you leave in desperation
So that others could witness one's departure in despair
Fly towards the Sun this is the
Heading towards a perilous destination
Countdown to extinction
The final moments before one's inevitable doom
You fall, you hide, afraid to lose your life
You are prone to failure, you conceal yourself, you fear for your survival
You stay, but just so you could fly astray
You remain, but only for the sake of going off track
A million miles away
Very far, unreachable
Can't stay, a lie perfected
Cannot remain, skilled at deceiving
It's so bizarre (So bizarre)
It is incredibly strange
You stay and pray for wonders
You remain and hope for miraculous occurrences
To deny it all
To reject every aspect of your current situation

Pop metal or not; I'm REALLY digging their powerful sound. The constant barrage of the three different vocalists is absolutely incredible!!
Brandon Yeung
Damn straight! This was the first song I heard from them. Some may care for genre and needing to call it something. I just call it badass! I like it and that's all that matters.
The Reem's Roids

RUBY DA CHERRY being a ethno nationalist doesn't mean they are racist. If Japan doesn't hunt any white or black people night and day, they are not racist.
