Give It Up
Ghost.com Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything it adds up,
All the pain it adds up
Every cut it adds up
All the blood it adds up
Every fight it adds up
Every night it adds up
Never gonna find love
Know I'm just a lost cause
I came from a lot of mistakes,
Some really messed up shit
Know I'm tryna atrone
But sorry ain't worth shit
Everything it adds up,
All the pain it adds up
Every cut it adds up
All the blood it adds up
Lately I've been too fucked up
From drugs and all the cuts
I'm fucking lost now
Can't find my way out
Fucking lost now
Feel so lost and the pain it never goes
Try so hard to cope but now
I'm stuck inside a hole
Really wanna escape but I'm stuck this way
Ive really tried to heal but I'm not okay
I'm fucking up
I'm cutting up
I'm smoking up
And nothing helps
Wanna go back, so much I'd change
It really feel like I'm going insane
Emotions swirl go down the drain
But hey, never meant shit to me anyways
Everything it adds up,
All the pain it adds up
Every cut it adds up
All the blood it adds up
Every fight it adds up
Every night it adds up
Never gonna find love
Know I'm just a lost cause
I came from a lot of mistakes,
Some really messed up shit
Know I'm tryna atrone
But sorry ain't worth shit
Everything it adds up,
All the pain it adds up




Every cut it adds up
All the blood it adds up

Are you ready?
(We're here)
I'm a rose that's been raised by wolves
My father getting stuck in everything I know
It's so hard when you would beat
For the truth you know
But we don't want the truth
We just want control
I'm on my own, here we go
Moment, put it on me
If you want it
'Cause I'm sick and tired of all of this
Flown it if you want it and you can own it
But I was gonna let it go
I've seen the devil and I've met fear
Met them both on the road
That led me here
I've met God and I saw life
And He saved mine a million times
I've met trouble and I've met rain
Laugh with joy and cry with pain
But now I see and I believe
That the ghosts that haunt me
Have been outhaunted
I'm a long way from way back from home
Been travelling like a bullet everywhere I go
It gets so out of reach
When you're in control
'Cause you've either got the money
Or it's got your soul
I'm on my own, here we go
Moment, put it on me
If you want it
'Cause I'm sick and tired of all of this
Flown it if you want it and you can own it
But I was gonna let it go
I've seen the devil and I've met fear
Met them both on the road
That led me here
I've met God and I saw life
And He saved mine a million times
I've met trouble and I've met rain
Laugh with joy and cry with pain
But now I see and I believe
That the ghosts that haunt me
Have been outhaunted
They never told me that I could be
Free from the hate that's inside of me
They took my place, took my dignity
They kept me caged like an enemy
But I know now I can be
Free from the pain that's inside of me
You took my place, gave me air to breathe
Opened the cage and you set me free
I've seen the devil and I've met fear
Met them both on the road
That led me here
I've met God and I saw life
And He saved mine a million times
I've met trouble and I've met rain
Laugh with joy and cry with pain
But now I see and I believe
That the ghosts that haunt me
Have been outhaunted

This album was underrated because it was ahead of it's time. Re-listening to all these songs made me realise they are all stuningly good. Looking forward to a new album from the band that is still my favorite after all this time \m/ rock aint dead

@eyesone58

QUE BANDA INCRÍVEL! OBRIGADO POR TRAZER ALEGRIA AOS MEUS OUVIDOS!

@iranai5016

@MorbidGod391

It’s amazing that they are still around and Creed isn’t. Some bands can transcend times and evolve. I’m glad TFK is one of those bands!

@DariusFaux

Amen! God saved my life a million times! Awesome lyrics!

@bloodless653

I think this is my favorite song from Exhale so far, sound and lyrically. "We don't want the truth, we just want control," "'cause you've either got the money or it's got your soul," "I've met God and I saw life, and He saved mine a million times," and the entire bridge are all amazing, and some of my favorite TFK lyrics of all time.

This is really shaping up to be a truly amazing album. Cannot wait to hear it all. Also can't wait for Rock the Tarmac. It's been far too long since I've seen you guys, especially since the last opportunity I had got cancelled....
