Over Under and Around the Game
Amarionette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's over my head, trying to understand you. It's probably on me, but I don't want to lose you
Soon, before I try to... Before I try to
Find danger inside the life a beating.
Opposite, it scares it proves its changing
Everything that we had ever been, it looks like we are anxious teens again
It's over my head, trying to understand you. It's probably on me, but I don't want to lose you
Soon, before I try to... Before I try to
Keep going just to stop us from ending
Fall faster, the way you keep up is amazing
It's not like we can get any younger, trying to fight fire with fire
Looks like we messed up after all
Looks like we messed up after all
Looks like we messed up after all
Looks like we messed up after all




It's over my head, trying to understand you. It's probably on me, but I don't want to lose you
Soon, before I try to... Before I try to...

on Chloroform Rags Work On Everybody

They're running scared,
with their tails between their legs
Pride will kill the rest of them
How we got this far
will be mystery
We've cut short
on every turn...

Please think twice,
They'll be watching us!
Glittering gold to pull you...

To pull you in-
Into another lying promise you can't resist
Fooled you once wont happen again
Don't let men pull your dreams down
Block you out of destiny

Please think twice,
They'll be watching us!
Glittering gold to pull you...
Into a place where you're cornerd
Starting from inside [?]
Cut these wires
Step outside
These
lines

Ooo~
Step outside these,
Step outside these
Step outside these LINES!
They're not gonna take!
They're not gonna take me! (OH!)
They're not gonna take,
they will not take me alive!

Please think twice they'll be
watching us~!
Glittering gold to pull you~
Into a place where you're cornered
Starting from inside [?]

Cut these wires, step outside these lines

Cut these wires, step outside
these
Lines!
