Heart
Blinded Colony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cos I can't feel your beats unless my hand's on my chest
Guidance, please! Now don't you shut down again
Your guidance ceased and I fell down, I still don't stand
Dear old friend where have you gone?
Now I can't feel at all what's right or wrong
I made wrong moves, a dog rose in bloom later withered
Then the shock, that shakes me still, came almost fatal
Guidance, please! Now don't you shut down
again
Your guidance ceased and I fell down, I still
don't stand
Dear old friend where have you gone?
Now I can't feel at all what's right or wrong
Don't you leave me here alone!
Dear old friend where have you gone?
Now I can't feel at all what's right or wrong
