Roots
Children of the Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who are you belonging to?
Silent screams in the night
tell my lover I'm a fool in the light
Sweetness is darkness and darkness is safe

Who are you belonging to?
Silent lovers in the light, tell my loved ones I am ready to die
Sweetness is darkness and darkness you are

You got those, you got those
poison eyes

Ooh I am your Roots
Ooh I am your Roots
Ooh I am your Roots

Who are you belonging to?
Silent screams in the night
tell my lover I'm a fool in the light
Sweetness is darkness and darkness I want

Ooh I am your Roots
Ooh I am your Roots
Ooh I am your Roots

Ooh I am your Roots
Ooh I am your Roots

I am Roots
I am Roots
I'm your roots
Ooh I am your Roots




Ooh I am your Roots
Ooh I am your Roots
