Dead by April Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got no shield
Need no healing
I feel empowered, energized
I'm ready
Devour
Try and bring me down
Come bring me down
Let's go
You can see that my heart is still beating strong
In the blood of my enemies I'm crawling alone
I've risen from the ashes
One thousand times before
Because I'm bullet, bulletproof
Bulletproof
Empty-handed
Never lost a fight
Completely undefeated
And you think I am scared?
You won't succeed
You want me dead
But I won't bleed
Try and bring me down
Come bring me down
I'm ready
Devour
I look at you
You're the enemy
I'll crush you
I'll do it breathlessly
My choice of words
Is my weaponry
Face the dark
Circle the flames
The only way out is in
In a second you'll stop breathing
