Consequences
Area 7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living in the moment
Living for the thrill
Just to satisfy yourself
Looking for a kill
When you f**k me over
I never say a word
Am I the voice of reason?
'Cos I am never heard

Nothing lasts forever,
Nothing's ever for free
Soon the flame will burn out, and you'll
See what you could have been

Now and then I see
You're not standing tall

I see your face and I know you
anticipate the fall
Running scared from your life
Running out of time
Face the consequences now
Is it all in your mind?

Living in the moment
Living for the thrill
Just to satisfy yourself
Looking for a kill
Running scared from your life
Running out of time

Face the consequences now
Is it all in your mind?
