Under The Water
Aurora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under the water we can't breathe, we can't breathe
Under the water we die
Under the water there is no one watching
Under the water we are alone

Then why do we jump in?
Why do we jump in?
Under the water we die

So many souls that lost control
Where did they fall?
Into the deep, what do they see?
Where did they fall?
Where did they fall?

Hearts will dream again
Lungs will breathe in
Wash away the sin
It's where it begins
Feet won't fail you now
Arms won't let you down
Wash away the sin

Under the water we can't be together
Under the water we die
Then why do we jump in?
Why do we jump in?
Under the water we die

So many souls that lost control
Where did they fall?
Into the deep, what do they see?
Where did they fall?
Where did they fall?

Hearts will dream again
Lungs will breathe in
Wash away the sin
It's where it begins
Feet won't fail you now
Arms won't let you down
Wash away the sin
It's where it begins





Hearts will dream again
Wash away the sin

LYRICS FOR YOU


on Conqueror

Lyrics :)

Broken mornings, broken nights and broken days in between
Open ground, the sky is open, makes an open sea

Just like in fiction, in every addiction
Oh oh, fantasy's taking over, awake me

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way

Broken me and broken them
You are broken too
Open ears, their eyes are open
Makes me call for you

But there's no seduction only destruction
(Oh oh) oh fantasy take me over and break me

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way

I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way

I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
