Cover Your Ears
Destroid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cover your ears
I need to tell you the truth
Cover your eyes
I want to show you my life

In nicht mehr allzu langer Zeit werde ich sterben
Vielleicht in zwanzig Jahren, vielleicht schon morgen
You'll never be ready to listen to me
Where I stand before you, you see it right through me
I'll always be waiting for the moment to say
The right words, the truth within so wait till I begin

In nicht mehr allzu langer Zeit werde ich sterben
Vielleicht in zwanzig Jahren, vielleicht schon morgen

Cover your ears
I will tell you the truth
Cover your eyes
This is my life





This is my life
This is my life
