INSOMNIA
- mE - Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please take me away
From the thoughts that I have
From the nightmare I live
This endless suffering, it's part of a dream
Is it just a dream?
I see a light at the end of my way
Is it my time?  Is it my turn to die?
I haven't finish with this life
I must escape from my own mind to see another day
Will I open my eyes again?
Will I ever wake up? Will I ever wake up?
Blood stains on my shirt
My vision is blurred
I feel so dizzy i can barely walk
You can't just ignore the fear growing inside you
This is the last time you'll ever feel alive
Are you ready to give up? Or will you kill everything of it?
Are you ready to be brave and close your eyes to sleep?
The sun is coming down
Your time is running out
But i'll always be there with you in the nightmares you fear the most
To guide you through the sadness
To turn your dark to brightness
Just close your eyes and take a match to burn 'em to the ground
But tell me
Are you willing to play the game?
Now tell me, are you ready to face your fears?
Take one match (Burn' em to the ground)
Take one match (Burn' em to the fucking ground)
I'm the monster in your mind
It's time to tear you down
Your nightmares feed me as you slowly die
I see it in your eyes, a shiver crosses your spine, the fear, the pain in every part of you will crush you down
Did you think i would let you go?
Did you think i would give up to a fucking single match?
I must dominate the fear
I will bring you to your knees
Now I know i'm not alone, behind me rest the ones you drowned
Our candles will be lighted up
We'll be brighter than the sun
It's your turn  to face your fears
Prepare yourself 'cause here it comes
The sun is coming down
Your time is running out
But i'll always be there with you in the nightmares you fear the most
To guide you through the sadness




To turn your dark to brightness
Just close your eyes and take a match to burn 'em to the ground
