Set Me Off
Face The Future Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fight, till the animal comes alive
Fight back for the truth inside
Never step down, don't let ‘em rip it out
Fight, go ballistic and ignite
Like a riot's deep inside
Like a rock show, I'll lock, load, let it go

Pushed me past the line
I'm going out of my mind
So sick of all of your lies
Set me, Set me off
‘Cause I've had enough
Broken but not giving up
You just set me off

Scream, stand up for what I believe
It's like everybody plays the thief
Game face on, thick skin, sharp tongue
Scream, as a victim of deceit
Force fed on your apathy
Let the rage show, drop into beast mode
You better run
You won't like it when the beast comes

Pushed me past the line
I'm going out of my mind
So sick of all of your lies
Set me, Set me off
‘Cause I've had enough
Broken but not giving up
You just set me off

Fight, rise, step into the line
If the lyric's right, burns, and you sympathize
Fists high, scream it in the night
No more weakness, set me off
Fight, rise, there's a fire inside
Don't let it burn down, don't let them choke it out
Eyes wide, stand to the side
Set me, set me off

Pushed me past the line
I'm going out of my mind
So sick of all of your lies
Set me, Set me off
‘Cause I've had enough
Broken but not giving up




You just set me off
Set me off
