Aldn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I'ma go insane
All these people are the same (The same)
Drive my car a hundred miles (A hundred miles)
Just to crash into a wall (Crash into a)
Who's that looking through the window?
Everybody's staring at me like I'm a weirdo
Laying on the ground with my face in a pillow
Sacrificed my life to this shit, I can't let go

Ask myself, "Who's that looking in the mirror?"
Every time I check I swear my face looking weirder
Don't recognize myself, I'm taking bites out my fingers
Forget that I exist, crop me out of all your picturеs
Blood dripping down my face as I start to decay
Think about all my mistakes as I withеr away
I'm running out of time
I might just take our lives
I've been up all night
I can't look at the light
I know we're alright
If you could take me there
Take me anywhere
Take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Who's that looking through the window?
Everybody's staring at me like I'm a weirdo
Laying on the ground with my face in a pillow
Sacrificed my life to this shit, I can't let go
Ask myself, "Who's that looking in the mirror?"
Every time I check I swear my face looking weirder
Don't recognize myself, I'm taking bites out my fingers
Forget that I exist, crop me out of all your pictures
I know I can never go home
My skin's falling off, I am just bones
I turned into a zombie

How could you want me?
How could you want me?
