Shrine
$igil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I got a lot of jewels
In the grip inside my hands
You don't know me, you don't know who I am
You're looking in the eyes of a dead man
I take, my time
I'm killing this shit while my mission divineI slip in and out of my mind
Wishing I wasn't here wish I knew why
But I know why I'm here and what I will find
I sit in the shrine, I'm lit up with light
With a shift of my mind I'm missing my sight
Slowly I'll drift out of what is called life
So gifted inside, don't know what it's like
To be in this world it is not of my type
So I'm cutting my ties and I'm ready to die
Steady in search of the source of the light
And all I can find that it's in my mind
I hit rewind, it's me I'm blind
Way before my time my aura shined
It's still in my bloodline
I got this just one time
Bust a rhyme to blow dust off your mind
Then I'm done I'm off to get mine
All of these offerings up to the sky
They cut off my wings now they tell me to fly
I am not lost, but you can not find
Its $-i-g-i-l with a dollar sign
I lost my fucking mind
And I don't even want it back
Omen X, Three EyesFound myself on another track
Found with myself with another rack
I don't even know what happened
Once the music get to moving
Then there ain't no going backwards
Please don't ask me what's my status
Just know that I'll be alright
So I sleep with a blade tonight
While I open up my mind
Everybody always talking down but it don't
Matter cause I'm always going up
And I don't need to give
A reason to a heathen
People always come and go and come back
Like the seasons, but OmenXI I I
Stay the same if I'm breathing, true shit
