Haunted
Annihilator; Jesper Strömblad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living out this hell from year to year
So many voices down the hallway
Screaming out in paralyzing fear
[Chorus]
Tell me, why I suffer, tell me, why I'm here
I am haunted, I am haunted
I am haunted, I am haunted
White coats surround me, they inject anxiety
Nothing but a memory
Bright lights above, so fascinating
Is that a scalpel coming for me?
[Chorus]
I am the light, I am the way
Just reach out and touch me
Come take my hand, you'll understand
You know you can trust me
Come back to me, come back to me
Just follow the bright white light
I feel no pain, but it's not the same
Something is just not right
Waking up, what the hell have you done to me?
Blackened figures roam about the room
I cannot breathe, I'm sliding underground
They've buried me in my own tomb
[Chorus]

Waking up, what the hell have you done to me?
Regaining consciousness and questioning the actions of others towards the self
Blackened figures roam about the room
Dark, shadowy beings wander in the area
I cannot breathe, I'm sliding underground
Being unable to inhale air and descending beneath the surface
They've buried me in my own tomb
Being interred in a grave already prepared for oneself
