No Way Back
Eclipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm knee deep in trouble
I'm deep in the pain
I've been down in the gutter
Someone's gotta pay

Because my darker side
Cannot be denied
Feed the flame

And there's no way back
There's no way out of here
Yeah, The truth is hard to hear
It'll kill your lies
There's no way back from here

So, Get ready to rumble
Get ready to play
'Cause you know I've got your number
You can't run a way

Because my darker side
Cannot be denied
Feed the flame

And there's no way back
There's no way out of here
Yeah, The truth is hard to hear
It'll kill your lies
'Cause there's no way back
There's no way out of here
Oh, The truth is hard to hear
Let's roll the dice
There's no way back from here

'Cause there's no way back
There's no way out of here
Yeah, The truth is hard to hear
It'll kill your lies

Oh, there's no way back
There's no way out of here
Oh, The truth is hard to hear




Let's roll the dice
There's no way back from here
