Overwhelming Line
Beng Beng Cocktail Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life experiences are so good but this one has stolen a piece of my open-mindedness
She concealed her devotion from me to secure her elegance
I felt a heavy weight so long, and it would not have been so overwhelming
If she wouldn't have kept behind closed doors what was forthcoming

Life is so good but the overwhelming line she has drawn is so mean
I look back at the "she and I" cold case to-and-fro between
The overwhelming line she has drawn is so mean,
By misconduct she fucked what was just a beginning

I took actions without thinking of consequences while my love and tenderness increased
She knew how weak I was and she stole my kindliness to fulfil her needs
I went through love with that girl but I never realised she was devastating me

I never thought that weight would have remained; I got you under my skin,




Like a man under the ice reflecting his own dying scene
I consider myself writing down these lyrics, as a tree releasing a leaf
