Crashed
Dreamtide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was waiting for an answer, but the answer lost the way
Memories of you, looks of cold eyes
I was keeping up the firewall, but the wall it burned today
Turn the knife right inside of me
I don't care cause now I learned to see
Now you pay the price and you lost control
And every helping hand you proudly pushed aside
It's the truth you have to hide
All of your gods they feed your pride
Now you try to sing a love song
But no love is left for you
Some you could fool but you do ride
On the train of power games
And it's all you ever do
For many years now you tried to tell me
What is wrong and what is right
After all I had to find out,
What you considered to be right
Was only convenient for you
Oh you were talking sense
And you love to make people believe,
Wisdom would be dripping from your lips
But I stood in the fire,
A gun for hire,
And played your game
And finally killed the flame
