T.S.S.
Agony of Defeat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m not afraid anymore
I have thrown away all my senses
Deep in the dark ocean floor
No, let's not be fooled again
Waiting for my favourite colour
We′re all have been foolish to wait
Walking along across land of delusions
Standing in line where the bridge has been broken
Oh, look at the stars
They crying their eyes to celebrate
They pouring it down washing away all the pretty illusions
Yes, well hello my friend
I thought it was you
My good friend defeat
We go hand in hand
Walking along across land of delusions
You tell them they can burn my traces
So i won't be found anymore
I finally put down all defences
Surrendered and walk out the door
No, let's not be fooled again
Waiting for our favourite colour
We′re all have been insane to wait
We′re standing in line where the bridge has ben torn down
And look, look at the stars
They crying their eyes to celebrate
They pouring it down washing away all the pretty illusions
Yes, well hello my friend I thought it was you My good friend
Defeat We go hand in hand Walking along across land of delusions
