Bipolar
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The die is cast, ridiculed an labeled "weird" all along
For your cynicism is idealism turned upside-down
Crawl from the wreckage of your heart
Yes I know how you suffer
I have been there before
How do you know you are alive?
If you've never been dead?
Hey,
How do you know you are alive?
How do you know you are alive?
How do you know
If you've never been dead?
The first to break the barricades, the last to fall
The night divides the day divides the night after all
We are damned to live our lives as sinners
That our innocence can shine
Collect the wreckage of your heart
Yes I know how much it hurts
I have seen it all before
How do you know what it's like to be free?
How do you know
If you've never been enchained?
Oh I know how you suffer
I have been there before
How do we know we are alive?
How do we know
If we've never been dead?
