Heart of Stone
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of yesterday
Time really passed me by
But now I need to concentrate
On the steps I take
I try, I fail, I try
Now I'm searching in my memory, in my memory
For the man I used to be
For the man I want to see
A heart of stone
Unhappy soul
Believe me, it doesn't hurt
My god he said
Don't be afraid
Don't you cry
cause it won't be heard
I hope I'll ever find my way
Out of nowadays
My time is standing still
I guess I only celebrate
Every move I make
We're aching for the thrill
Now I'm searching in my memory, in my memory
For the boy I used to be
I'm searching in my memory, in my memory
For the boy I feel in me
