Scent of Life
Adhesive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sudden scent of life as I hovered round and round myself
LET'S LEAVE ACROSS THE WATER
I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE
ACROSS THE WATER
TO WIDEN MY HORIZON
Summon my strength and tear off all the bonds that keep me here
LET'S LEAVE…
