Goodbye Blue Sky
Destra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A man in a uniform starts screaming "Hands up
You better not move
You better not talk
Cause everything you say
Will be useless
You are nothing to me
So you better stand still"
My hands are cuffed
I can't move
Still someone hits me in the face
Once, twice, three times
So I remember Peter
Denying Jesus
That must have hurt too

But I cannot cry
Cause nobody will dry my tears
I just let them pusghe me to the car
My time has come
And I'll have to pay, pay, pay...
I look through the window
I see the city lights
For the las time...
Light jungle
For the last time...
Like the song




Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
