Limitless
From Atlantis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never been so close to the bottom before
I never have held this for so long
But every time I lift my head up something always seem to bring,
Something always seems to bring it down
What do you expect from, a man with nothing left
I gave you everything but I guess it wasn't enough
You wanted attention over love and affection
I thought you were and it and I realized you're not
You were the farthest from perfection
I wish that I could learn to forgive you
We never really slowed it down before
Look at what we had, what we built
You threw it all and brushed it right off
I don't like it at bottom theres no room for forgiveness now
I gave you everything but I guess it wasn't enough
You wanted attention over love and affection
I thought you were and it and I realized you're not
You were the farthest from perfection
I wish that I could learn to forgive you




What do you expect from, a man with nothing left
I wish that I could forgive you

Sounds similar to Louder Than Thunder, very good.

Eric Miller

There is no auto-tune on his voice other than the standard pitch correction ever producer uses. What everyone thinks is "Auto-tune" is vocal harmonies with delay.

artuu

No, this is From Atlantis! <3

It's like a The Devil Wears Prada/Miss May I mix to it.
