Nothing Stays the Same
Cyberaktif Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

System breaks down
just when i thought i had it made
a message, show you how i feel
nothing stays the same
Hunt out misguided angels
search in vain amongst the ruins
a message, show you know how i feel?
nothing stays the same
nothing stays the same
Search in vain, silent dreams starting again
wake up and out of sleep
far from your crowds
shattered halls
covered in squander
A message, show you how i feel
nothing stays the same
the same, the same
a message, show you know how i feel?




nothing stays the same
nothing stays
