Another Reason
Fifth Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wallow in the shadows
I'll try to find some peace of mind
I'll weather these storms I know
I know you worry about words I speak aloud
I'll try to fade the violence
Invigorating all my hollow bones
I'm aching - make it stop
I know it's begging to break me down, down
And now, I need a reason to see
Give me a hopeful endeavour to know that you're there
I'd try to keep you there
For there is so much to go
Another reason to see
Another sorrowful wish I'm allowing to fear
Another reason to break me down, down
I'm hiding in the shadows
I'll try to find some peace of mind
I'll weather these storms I know
I know you worry about
I'm made of stone
Carried on from the moment you came
Into fire, I felt I needed to extinguish the flame
I felt I needed to say
What I really meant to say
Come follow me
I know I needed to break this down, down
And now, I need a reason to see
Give me a hopeful endeavour to know that you're there
I'd try to keep you there
For there is so much to go
I'll try, I'll try
Another reason to break me down, down, down
Think forward, fast
I'm losing
You'll always be my best friend, my angel
I'll always think I'm losing
This game I know
And now, you're all the reason I need
You're my hopeful endeavour
I know that you're there
I'll always keep you there
As there is so much to go
I'll try, I'll try
Another reason to break me down, down, down
Think forward fast I'm losing
I will mend my mistakes
Find a way to end this madness
Seeing me, fight all my needs
Made me hate how I'm descending
I will mend my mistakes
Find a way to end this madness
I see the endpoint to save now
I found a reason, I know how
I will mend my mistakes
Find a way to end this madness
Seeing me, fight all my needs
Made me hate how I'm descending




I will mend my mistakes
Find a way to end this madness

I have absolutely no idea how she doesn't have hundreds of millions of views. The overwhelming amount of talent and passion in her voice is mind blowing. The second bridge before the hook is so good.

@rainyrose2641

I wish this band get famous, but in the same time I wish it to be my secret.......Truely masterpiece.

@anjarprasetio2054

Ya, thats true !

@RelentlessOhiox

Damn right I want them to be known but at the same time I want no one to let anyone find out about Sam's voice.

@danishimran1531

No one post this on tik tok please don’t want to end up like BMTH’s Can You Feel My Heart 😅

@thylacinepaz

Ive always thought the most pathetic thing has to be the desire to diminish a musicians reach for the sole purpose of self-fulfilment in relation to being someone who likes "unpopular" music. If fifth dawn was main stream with the same music, you wouldnt like it. Truly pathetic.

@droppingnostopping3534

Her voice is incredible.

@bigtimmychungus5167

I always spam friends and family with this because it needs more recognition, try and stop me, no God nor physical force will keep me from loving this music. Keep it the hell up and give it your all on your next album. I mean it.

@forCHRISTJESUS14

God made you with that voice. That is incredible.

@flikikot

The best vocal on this world !
