Deadborns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From my window
late at night
I see you like a ghost
I know it’s gonna be alright

Everything that you told me
You know I never spoke a word
What’s the point of a secret
if it's already been heard

And I'm losing my mind
And I'm losing my mind

Caught off guard
I wasn't ready
now the time has come
it's getting heavy

You wait so long
for it to happen in a flash
The hand I'm dealt
you know I don't have a chance





And I'm losing my mind
And I'm losing my mind

Line by Line Meaning

From my window
Looking out of my window


late at night
During the nighttime hours


I see you like a ghost
I perceive you as if you were a spirit


I know it’s gonna be alright
I have faith that everything will turn out fine


Everything that you told me
All that you shared with me


You know I never spoke a word
You are aware that I never divulged anything


What’s the point of a secret
What is the reason for keeping something private


if it's already been heard
if it has already been made public


And I'm losing my mind
And I am going insane


Caught off guard
Taken by surprise


I wasn't ready
I was unprepared


now the time has come
Now is the moment


it's getting heavy
It is becoming burdensome


You wait so long
You have been waiting for so much time


for it to happen in a flash
For it to take place rapidly


The hand I'm dealt
The cards I have been given


you know I don't have a chance
You realize I have no opportunity


And I'm losing my mind
And I am going insane
