The Messenger
10 Years Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m your messenger
The way you wish your voice would sound
So use my infection
As your favorite weapon
Keep coming back for more and more
What are you waiting for now?
What are we waiting for?
Come on, come on
If the end is coming soon
Feel the spirit in the room
It's moving right through you
Come on, come on
If there′s nothing left to lose
Then what do we have to prove?
Let's spread our wings tonight
If you are the action,
I'm your reaction
I′m moved the way you want me to
So use my fire
For your burning desires
Keep coming back for more and more
What are we waiting for
Come on, come on
If the end is coming soon
Feel the spirit in the room
It′s moving right through you
Come on, come on
If there's nothing left to lose
Then what do we have to prove
Let′s spread our wings and
Your light, you made it mine
Your life, you've taken mine
I′ll turn you inside out
And wear you like a shroud
I'll turn you upside down
And stripe you of your crown
Come on, come on
If the end is coming soon
Feel the spirit in the room
It′s moving right through you
Come on, come on
If there's nothing left to lose
Then what do we have to prove
Let's spread our wings tonight
Come on, come on
The end is coming soon
Come on, come on
There′s nothing left to lose
Come on, come on
Feel my spirit in the room
Come on, come on
Let′s spread our wings tonight

Let's go
If the end is coming soon
If things are approaching an end
Feel the spirit in the room
Sense the atmosphere around you

Let's spread our wings tonight
Let's venture out and take risks today
Your light, you made it mine
You passed on to me the energy and hope that you had.
Your life, you've taken mine
You have changed my perspective on life
I'll turn you inside out
I will make you vulnerable
And wear you like a shroud
I will wrap myself in your values and beliefs
I'll turn you upside down
I will make you question everything you know
And stripe you of your crown
I will challenge your authority or what you believe in
Feel my spirit in the room
Sense my passion and energy
