Attitude
Fading Circles Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why should I ever trust you
Even down in hell my friend
See each other die inside,
You know just for the fame
Watch the circles fade,
Is this how it should end?
The devil holds our hands
We’re going straight and mad

Pre Chorus:
And I’ll lie down this time
Feel the forces far behind

Chorus:
Please don’t cross the line
I told you my friend, this is what I meant
I’m in my world, can’t you see?
And don’t let you in, I’m stronger as it seems

The river of emptiness
Is brainwashing all in its way
This is the strongest pain
That I’ve ever felt
We are standing on a ship
It’s running against the tide
This attitude will never change
So join us and fight

Pre Chorus:

Chorus:

Line by Line Meaning

Why should I ever trust you
I question the validity of placing my trust in you

Even down in hell my friend
Even in the worst circumstances, my friend

See each other die inside
Witnessing the death of our true selves

You know just for the fame
You understand that it is solely for the sake of recognition

Watch the circles fade
Observe the gradual disappearance of our connections

Is this how it should end?
Is this the appropriate conclusion?

The devil holds our hands
We are guided by malevolence

We’re going straight and mad
We are descending into madness unabated

Please don’t cross the line
I implore you to not overstep the boundaries

I told you my friend, this is what I meant
I previously communicated my intentions, my friend

I’m in my world, can’t you see?
I am immersed in my own reality, do you not perceive?
