Adna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody's gonna take
Somebody's gonna break
Somebody's gonna make her world stop
That leaves her by the ocean
What others see in motion
'Cause she couldn't stand the pain
Say it loud
In her head like a movie
Set on repeat
Where the heat
Was eating her up
Couldn't face the truth
Wouldn't let herself
To feel fine
So ending her life
Or accepting her path
Would all be good choices
In her life
That's why she found herself
Stuck inbetween
Ooh
Somebody's gonna take
Somebody's gonna break
Somebody's gonna make her world stop
And leave her by the ocean
What others see is motion
'Cause she couldn't stand the pain
To say it loud
x2 Loud
I could see in her eyes
That she often told lies
To skip the hard part
Of telling the truth
That she hardly sleep
And mostly grieved
The person she had become
Somebody's gonna take
Somebody's gonna break
Yeah somebody's gonna make her world stop
And leave her by the ocean
What others see in motion
'Cause she couldn't stand the pain
She'll be crying like a baby in her own cold arms
As the rain pours down on at all her scars
And a cigarette will be her only truly friend
And she thinks about the hate she's carrying on
She'll be hitten by a wind she'll follow along
'Til her body touches the ocean ground




(Gibberish words)
First time I met this girl's when I passed the mirror
