Almost
Emoglobe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasting all my time and I'm way behind
In the pouring light I can almost die
The pouring light, am I inside?
There is no other way and it's all too late
Soon I'll be astray but I'm not afraid… afraid
In the pouring light we can almost die
The pouring light, are we entwined? …entwined

There is no surprise, I've no place to hide
Nothing is unexpected and I have nowhere to conceal myself
Wasting all my time and I'm way behind
Wasting time and lagging behind
In the pouring light I can almost die
In the bright light, I feel almost like I could die
The pouring light, am I inside?
Am I encompassed in this bright light?
There is no other way and it's all too late
There are no alternatives and it's too late to change things now
Soon I'll be astray but I'm not afraid... afraid
Soon I will be lost but I am not fearful

In the bright light, we can nearly feel like we are dying
