Light
Bilmuri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hands like drums searching for battles
I'm facedown in the dark with eyes in broken glass
Cause it's always you
It's always you
I inhale the smoke as you burn through all my veins
With my lungs still warm as you stand right next to me
Cause it's always you
My heart falls into your soul
My mind falls into your hands
My heart falls into your soul
Cause it's always you
It's always you
I inhale the smoke as you burn through all my veins
With my lungs still warm as you stand right next to me
Cause it's always you

I'm about 6 or 7 songs in after discovering Bilmuri is what you've been doing (about an hour or so ago) and i'm blown away my dude. This one is so atmospheric and pulse pounding. It throws you into a medley of sound and emotion, raw and everchanging. I know I'm late to this party but don't give up
