Annihilation
1.8.7. Deathstep Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me why you hurt me
What's your fascination?
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation

Tell me why you need love
For the entertainment
Come and bring your body to me

I crave annihilation

Tell me what the point is
In overcomplication
You leave and then you're coming back again
I'm running out of patience

I'm so in love with loneliness
And I fucking hate it
Nothing seems to burn me like you do
I crave annihilation

Tell me why you hurt me
What's your fascination?
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation

Tell me why you need love
For the entertainment
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation

I crave annihilation

I crave annihilation

Tell me why you hurt me
What's your fascination?
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation

Tell me why you need love
For the entertainment
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation

I was alone when I felt your touch
And it took me back again to the edge of my mind
I was alive when I wanted to die
That was where you left me but I kept coming back every time

Tell me why you hurt me
What's your fascination? (what's your fascination?)
Come and bring your body to me (bring it here)
I crave annihilation

Tell me why you need love (I feel the same)
For the entertainment (it's all a game)
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation

I crave annihilation
I crave annihilation

I crave annihilation
I crave annihilation
