Bark on Me
Alia Tempora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fury, they have those hungry eyes...

Fury, they have those hungry eyes
Dingy, drooling, they wanna piece of mine
Sleazy species, they wanna piece of mine
Can′t catch me while I'm running
Sleazy species, they wanna piece of mine
Can′t catch me while I'm running

Don't blink or you miss me
For a thousand years and misty
Lights will blind you
Let you surprised due
To unprecedented shine
Don′t blink or you miss me
For a thousand years or maybe
I can guide you better than blind you
Ride′s free for today

Fury, they have those hungry eyes
Dingy, drooling, they wanna piece of mine
Sleazy species, they wanna piece of mine
Can't catch me while I′m running
Sleazy species, they wanna piece of mine
Can't catch me while I′m running

Don't blink or you miss me
For a thousand years and misty
Lights will blind you
Let you surprised due
To unprecedented shine
Don′t blink or you miss me
For a thousand years or maybe
I can guide you better than blind you
Ride's free for today

Dear, bark on me
Haters don't bite, they just... bark...
Let the haters bark...

Don′t blink or you miss me
For a thousand years and misty
Lights will blind you
Let you surprised due
To unprecedented shine
Don′t blink or you miss me
For a thousand years or maybe
I can guide you better than blind you
Ride's free for today

Don′t blink or you miss me
For a thousand years or later




I go further, I can go faster
Breaking through my way
