220 Volt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mother's voice whispers in my head
Times have changed, nowhere to hide
Leaving today with bitter tears
It's hard to leave all I've got behind
After all it's my home
No one will notice if I leave or die
I grew up in a broken part of town
Which follows me on through my life
People say there are so many roads to take
But why am I left out
Why...
I can't survive another night
In this trap where I live
The desperate running I recall
Ain't no way out
Carry on...
Carry on
Why throw my life away
Carry on
Where do I go from here
Carry on...
Carry on
I've gotta take a chance
Carry on
And on and on and on
Carry On
Nothing will stop me; I've found the track
Carry on
Why throw my life away

220 Volt odkryłem jakiś rok temu i nadal jest moim faworytem. W ogóle hard rock i melodyjne gatunki metalu rosną w siłę i bardzo się z tego ciesze. Pozdrawiam i fajnie, że Polacy też mają dobry gust!
