Understand
Dropline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To write the fable
That marks your life
It's the stone that calls the rebel
And crashes into the bay
Did you hear the one about me in the war?
Did it make you laugh?
Did you tell them you want more?
Have you figured out that I have gone insane?
Will you remain?
'Cause I don't understand anymore
So lead me by the hand to your door
Jealous eyes are all around you
The first to find you beside yourself
In this stone we run for cover
And search the sky for souls slippin' away
Did you hear the one about me in the war?
Did it make you laugh?
Did you tell them you want more?
Have you figured out that I have gone insane?
Will you remain?
'Cause I don't understand anymore
So lead me by the hand to your door
Once more
Take the wrong from right
This dark and Northern night
I don't understand anymore
Oh now, I was the one
And I don't understand anymore
Lead me by the hand to your door
Once more
Take the wrong from right
This dark and Northern night
And I don't understand anymore
La da di (5x)
And I don't understand anymore
