Autumn's Grey Solace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you miss me
As I'm going to sleep?
Do you miss me
When I say goodnight?
Do you miss me
As I'm waving goodbye?
Do you miss me, do you miss me?
Paralyzed from your eyes
Secretly forcing
Forcing me to forget about
How I feel so paralyzed

What happens now?
Emotional lies untie
Like ribbons around my heart
Do you miss me
As I walk away?
Do you miss me
When I say no more?
Do you miss me
As I say I'm leaving?
I am leaving, I am leaving

Paralyzed from your eyes
Secretly forcing




Forcing me to forget about
How I feel so paralyzed

This is exactly why I love about Goth, the music is different from another especially ethereal wave, I absolutely love it.
