Anthem
Destination Anywhere Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For all the fucked up things we know
For all the places we should go
For all the ones who think they know
Who think they need to take control

For all the offenses we're through
All the discussions all the clues
For all the problems of the youth
That suffers

So take what you got and
Break a tradition
Make a decision
We will go through this
Take what you got and
Break a tradition
Make a decision
Fuck what they say

I break
With all the things I've said and done
I make
A new beginning back to start
We stayed
Not for too long it's not too late
We close the past to change a lot tonight

For all your hopes, all your dreams
All the things that are between
For all impenetrable laws
For all your pain and for its cause

For the distrustful world around
For all important things that count
You've got to find your own way out
Don't suffer

Just take what you got and
Break a tradition
Make a decision
We will go through this
Take what you got and
Break a tradition
Make a decision
Fuck what they say

I break
With all the things I've said and done
I make
A new beginning back to start
We stayed




Not for too long it's not too late
We close the past to change a lot tonight
