Voyager
Dear Desolate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see this is broken
All hope is shattered in front of me
I disobey, I disagree
With the rules and the noose while you try to strangle me
How can I live, how can I be free
With your boot up on my neck and trying shackle me
Theres's something else out there I need
There's more to life than this, there's more to this than me
There's a whole world I've been missing
There's more to life than this, there's more to this than me
We're just going through motions
We're ignoring all the debris
No focus, it's hopeless this soul has no emotion
Moving hands on the clock call it turning back
The race against time and we've lost track
There's something else out there I need
There's more to life than this, more to this than me
There's a whole world I've been missing
There's more to life than this, there's more to this than me
I was in the dirt, hurt, going through the worst
I was rolling with the punches eating shit
You call me crazy, told me that I was worthless
I was taking hits, taking all them licks
I've held back, I relapse, I fell back
I contact my inner strength to react
I won't crack, I'm on track to come back
I'm gonna be the one to press the reset
There's something else out there I need
There's more to life than this, there's more to this than me
There's something else out there I need
There's more to life than this, more to this than me
There's a whole world I've been missing
There's more to life than this, there's more to this than me
I was in the dirt hurt going through the worst
Where were you when I was going through the hurt




Where were you when I was eating shit, taking hits
Where were you when I was taking all them licks
