Melancholy
Bilmuri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No

I can't hide 'cause I feel so alone
Anything to take the edge off, so low
As I'm thinking, no one sees me
Or maybe they don't care
Got me feeling like a ghost
All they wanna do is stare

Got me feeling so low
When the clouds seem like they're made of stone
Oh, and I'm sitting on my own, so low

This is who I am
Never wanted to be stable
Making stories in my head
Lay my heart out on the table
Get me out of my head
Get me out of my room
So I can save myself
'Cause I can't save myself

Got me feeling so low
When the clouds seem like they're made of stone
Oh, and I'm sitting on my own, so low




When the clouds seem like they're made of stone
Oh, and I'm sitting on my own, so low, so low

The most underrated band ever? Been jamming to you guys for awhile now on Spotify and never knew you guys barely got any views here on YouTube, honestly makes me kind of sad.

I love pretty much every song, hopefully some day you guys strike some gold or something.
