Landslide
Get Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But getting nowhere
Flows filling up with blood that choking
Pulling out the vains
Trying to hold on to something inside
You got nowhere to hide
In a paddic stay
Abandoned for the hate inside of you
Still beating so fast
The perfect storm that capsized you
Now what you gonna do?
I've been caught in the landslide
This isn't the first time
I've seen this before
And i'll see it again
I've been down this road so many times before
That you know that we'll see it again
Your fucked up point of view medicated
So you thought this things through before you came this far
Trust is broken, bridges burned
You never came through
We waited for you
I've been caught in the landslide
This isn't the first time
I've seen this before
And i'll see this again
I've been down this road so many times before
That i know that we'll see this, know that we'll see this again
(Guitar solo)
Been caught in the landslide
This isn't the first time
I've seen this before
And i'll see this again
I've been down this road so many times before
That i know that we'll see this again
I been caught in the landslide
This isn't the first time
I've seen this before
And i'll see this again
