Paranoia
Fifth Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All over again, this poison runs deep
Through my veins; my body in my sink
Sinking again, when will this end
This paranoia, the wrong side of me
It rests in fire absolves all the flame
This paranoia breaks all hope and chance of flee
Coursing through when I am feeling weak
Further in deep, tracing back the lies
Through my veins, my body in my sink
Sinking again, when will this end
This paranoia, the wrong side of me
It rests in fire absolves all the flame
Find your way out … all of this poison
You can't control it
Break inside
You are the one that's inside you
(Break Inside)
We can't fight until it's over
We can't control it
(You are the one that's inside you)
Break when all is taking over
This is paranoia
This paranoia the wrong side of me
It rests in fire absolves all the flames
(All myself)
Find your way out … all of this poison
You can't control it
Get out. I just want to be free from this illusion you face
I just want to feel all myself
Find your way out all of this poison
You can't control it

One of the best things about her voice is that her lines are unpredictable and she really dares to put her heart into it!
@bakarenibsheut12
Wow, this sounds amazing. After the moody atmospherics of "Pressure" and "Defying Symmetry", it's nice to see an aggressive Fifth Dawn song that doesn't compromise on the band's ambient and immersive signature sound.
