Asylum

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Release me

No remnants were ever found of it
Feeling the hot bile with every fake smile
Though no evidence was ever found
It never went away completely

I try to hide from the unholy sound of it
Another day gone, another night's dawn
Dark forces pull me underground
That never went away completely

How can I feel this empty?
I will not recover this time
This loneliness is killing me

Will I ever know peace of mind again?
I don't believe it, I can't achieve it
I think it all is just another sign
It never went away completely

Terror is coursing in me (death inside of me, keeps a diligent watch on everything)
Dreading the final moment (keeps a terrible hold on my belief)
When I have to dream (just waiting for the moment when I)
And feel you die

In asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you?
And I wasn't ready
For asylum (relive a lie)
To let go, now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum (forgive the lie)
Overcome by the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
And the loneliness is killing me

Death's images are all around again
They're right behind me, they're gonna find me
Judgement for the immortal sin
That have enveloped me completely

I know I'll never know a peaceful night again
Afraid they'll hear me, they don't fear me
Punishment for the immoral crime
The debt was never paid completely

Terror is coursing in me (death inside of me, keeps a diligent watch on everything)
Dreading the final moment (keeps a terrible hold on my belief)
When I have to dream (just waiting for the moment when I)
And feel you die

In asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you?
And I wasn't ready
For asylum (relive a lie)
To let go, now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum (forgive the lie)
Overcome by the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
And the loneliness is killing me

In the end there will be no suffering (more suffering)
In the end we will find out everything (not everything)
In the end you may question your belief (what belief?)
In the end you will realize someday
How you were deceived

This has gone on too long (too long)
No more demonic dreams
Destroyer, come tonight
Because the memory is killing me

In asylum (I live a lie)
I let go, now it's dragging me into your grave
For asylum (we live a lie)
Overcome by the feeling that I won't get to join you in time (without you)
This world is not fulfilling me

Don't think I live in asylum
I live a lie
Don't want to live in asylum
I live a lie




Don't think I live in asylum
I live a lie
