Rival
Cloudian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(But it's about to end right here)
Calm down
My shaking hands and blade
Close my eyes
Feel the raindrop
Gets cut in half
Pictured this moment million times
But I could never see who
Would be the last one standing
You′ve always been the wall that
I couldn't break down
But now it's time to settle
This unending fight
And at the very end of this tiring fray
Who shall be the one to stand?
Fight me
Come break me down
I don′t need any mercy from you
Slash me
With everything you got
It won′t be so easy
To take me down
My eyes are chasing every move
Of your blade and I feel my
Exhausted muscles and tired brain
Focused on every bit of nerve
And predict your next move
To ready to final blow
You've always been the wall that
I couldn′t break down
But now it's time to settle
This unending fight
And at the very end of this tiring fray
Who shall be the one to stand?
Fight me
Come break me down
I don′t need any mercy from you
Slash me
With everything you got
It won't be so easy
To take me down
The survivor will be the stronger one
We both know (We all know)
Then the stronger gets to decide
What shall be our fate
Fight me
Come break me down
I don′t need any mercy from you
Slash me
With everything you got
It won't be so easy
To take me down
