Monsters
אסתר רדא Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found out,
That the monsters come at night
And I cant sleep, those busters came here to fight.
It's not that I'm afraid
It's just that I'm awake for too long,
For too long.

Sounds right,
To take from those busters a bite
They play with weakened minds and I can't, I can not close my eyes
It's not that I'm not nice
Just that I've been paying the price for too long,
For too long...

I am a prisoner, held by this who know
They all seem to know more then I
Soldier of history
Bondage by misery
Chains of realty...

Well done,
You got your self a hell of a gun
Using my love you mange to put me down
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just that I've been strong for too long,
For too long...

I was wrong
To think they go if I'll play along
I tried but I cant beat them so I coerced to join
It's not that I'm a lier
It's just that I am tier for too long,
For too long...

I am a prisoner held by this who know
They all seem to know...
Soldier of history
Bondage by misery
Chains of realty...

I am a prisoner held by this who know
They all seem to know more then I
Soldier of history
Bondage by misery
Chains of realty.

Monsters all around,
Must hunt them down...

Monsters all around,
Must hunt them down...

Must hunt them down...

I am a prisoner held by this who know
They all seem to know more then I
Soldier of history
Bondage by misery
Chains of realty...

I am a prisoner held by this who know
They all seem to know more then I
Soldier of history
Bondage by misery
Chains of realty...





I am a prisoner, yeah!
