In My Arms
Delta Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling so lost, I don't know what to do
If only I had given us more time
Then you wouldn′t have gone through what you've been through
Taken down, oh so cold and heartless
They're not the kind to be refused
I′ve fallen deep into the depths of darkness
I still feel you
Running through me
Holding closer
I wish you were here in my arms
I should′ve stayed by your side
This guilt I hold buries my pride
Scream at the sky as the blade cuts the soul
I'd rather die than leave you alone
I still feel you
Running through me
Holding closer
I wish you were here in my arms
When I′m drowning
I can feel you breathing
You had all my love
I wish you were here
In my arms
I wish you were here

Beyond "next big thing" status.
This is what the industry is lacking. So many artists with so much passion yet not allowed to express their visions.
"Oh,it's too dark, it's not radio friendly, it's not marketable"
It's all bullshit!!!!
A real artist doesn't sway to the masses, they will fight & claw for what they want to achieve & present nothing but gold to but a few who "get it".
This right here is merely but a whiff of the greatness that is to come
