Blackout
Means Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stare through glass
Into the cold, blue and grey
Breaking away
Letting go
I see that there is no escape
In fear of what we can't control
So we will breakaway
Here we go
I will guard my heart from indifference
For freedom I am breaking away
If my vision is lost
And my breath is short
With so much unknown
I am breaking away
Breaking!
It was never about perfection
And if this song is just a passing trend
Then this should be said (we should know)
It was always about soul
There's no need to look that far
It's on the tip of my tongue
I know that the heart is near
No need to look that far
It's on the tip of my tongue
Sitting alone
I stare through glass
Into the cold, blue and grey
Breaking away
I am letting this go
A blackout
But don't be overwhelmed
A blackout
I will guard my heart from indifference
For freedom I am breaking away
If my vision is lost
And my breath it is short
With so much unknown
I am breaking away
If I put my trust in you
Can I be changed from the inside out?
We feel so out of place
But not without purpose
So I guard my heart from this indifference
And keep my eyes looking outward
A blackout
A spark fighting not to be overwhelmed
A blackout
