AKUMA
Alex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ripples in the ocean
Rhythm in the midnight sky
Trying to find the time
Two life's two rights
Freedom in the way we move
Feel it as it starts to soothe
Rivers in the mind we loose
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
Ripples in the ocean
Rhythm in the midnight sky
Trying to find the time
Two life's two rights
Freedom in the way we move
Feel it as it starts to soothe
Rivers in the mind we loose
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
Ripples in the ocean
Rhythm in the midnight sky
Trying to find the time
Two life's two rights
Freedom in the way we move
Feel it as it starts to soothe
Rivers in the mind we loose
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
Ripples in the ocean
Rhythm in the midnight sky
Trying to find the time
Two life's two rights
Freedom in the way we move
Feel it as it starts to soothe
Rivers in the mind we loose
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
Freedom in the way we move
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
Freedom in the way we move
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
Freedom in the way we move
I can feel it from a mile it's truth
Freedom in the way we move
I can feel it from a mile it's truth




Freedom in the way we move
Ripples in the ocean

@LaFaveBros

Damn I really like this. So much tension and build in the chorus, it always threatens to burst into something really heavy and hard, then backs away.
