The Man Who Cheated Death
Ginger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling every feeling I have today
I wouldn't have it any other way
This is more than just a state of mind
It's something new
And I'm leaving you behind

I've been shook and I've been shown
I wrote the book on being alone
But that was meaningless
Cause I've never seen the world like this
No, I've never seen the world like this

And when the Devil would try to tempt me
When there was not a single angel around
When the demons they sent me, were guaranteed to put me down
What in heaven or hell is ever gonna kill me now

I've seen much more than I ever agreed to see
But if a lesson comes easily
Stands to reason it'll be lost again
Not for me
I take my lessons seriously

Any man can make a mistake
For every discovery that he makes
It ain't about falling down
It's how you get yourself up off the ground
How you get yourself up off the ground

And when the Devil would try to tempt me
When there was not a single angel around
When the demons they sent me, were guaranteed to put me down
What in heaven or hell is ever gonna kill me now?

And when the Devil would try to tempt me
When there was not a single angel around
When the demons they sent me, were guaranteed to put me down
When I was feeling tired and empty
Without a reason for me being around
When I prayed God would lift me




From the hell in which he laid me down
What in heaven or hell is ever gonna kill me now
