Miljonprogrammet
Covered in Snow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Laid low by the hollow men
Play dead - Again
Laid low
Lay down
And no one will take notice of us
Every hour
Every day
Everywhere
Every time
Every dawn
Every breath
Like all buildings here
I feel like I'm of concrete now
Same chance we are told
Left in the cold
Run run
Runaway from them
Hideaway - They want your soul
Every hour
Every day
Everywhere
Every time
Every dawn
Every breath
Like all buildings here
I feel like I'm of concrete now (Take a bow)
Same chance we are told
Left in the cold
With you
With you
Laid low by the hollow men
Play dead - Again
Every hour
Every day




Everywhere
Every time
Every dawn
Every breath
Like all buildings here
I feel like I'm of concrete now (Take a bow)
Same chance we are told
Left in the cold
And It always ends up
With deaths no matter what we do (I'm cursed to)
A gunfight goes by with you
With you
With you
Everyone here knows
We're not built to last
Everyone here knows
We will lose
Everyone here knows
We're not built to last
Everyone here knows
We'll lose
We'll lose
