Escape
About Monsters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is pointing at me
I'm paranoid - Can you hear,
Can you hear? Can you see it coming closer?
Would follow, would follow, follow you in the dark
My weakness, my weakness, it tears me apart
Paranoid - Can you feel, can you feel? It's here
Like a nightmare comin' to life
It's time to escape and this is why we go
Faded into grey and loss of all control
It's time to set free but it's not only me
Everyone needs more and this is why we go
I'm alive, I'm alive but sometimes I just don't want to be
Even though I'm still breathing
I'm paranoid - Feeling drunk
Feeling stoned, feeling used without a black sheep
Would follow, would follow, follow you in the dark
My weakness, my weakness, my weakness tears me apart
Calling me, calling me, it's like a mix of "stay" and "leave"
But I just want to be me
It's time to escape and this is why we go
Faded into grey and loss of all control
It's time to set free but it's not only me
Everyone needs more and this is why we go
It's time to escape
It's time to escape
It's time to escape and this is why we go
Faded into grey and loss of all
It's time to set free but it's not only me
Everyone needs more
It's time to escape and this is why we go
Faded into grey and loss of all control
It's time to set free but it's not only me
Everyone needs more and this is why we go
