Viper
Greedy Black Hole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you suffer in the boundless desert
You gave up fighting, saying this is what you deserve
They couldn't stop wrangling over who'll go on first
So I stepped out and never looked backwards

I heard them whisper in the middle of nowhere
They told lies about you for a drop of the water
No one can stop this endless madness
As long as we know the righteousness inside us

Stand up now we've done no wrong
Fight for yourself and they'll be gone
But they will always try to hurt you, break you, till you lose it all

Be tough now we've got to go on
On and on or we'll be done
Before they manage to catch us
We must make our own way home

You at last worn out under the sun
Rattles surrounded, there's no way to run
Take a deep breath the attack is coming
Grab anything you can, kill without mercy

River of sweat wetting the earth
Closer and closer the hissing is louder
No barricade, no escape
Break through the serpents, fuck them all

I'm in the bluest ocean
Falling, drowning




The taste of heaven
Calling, pulling

遲了1年才發現這MV,
明明F.E.A.的MV一出我已經有看的呀!!
我十分喜歡這首呀!!
應該是那麼多首最喜歡的一首,
因為旋律這個東西,
就有一種一見鍾情的感覺耶.
一聽已經知這首沒得輸了.
旋死金最高 : )
還有我很喜歡清音轉死腔的部份,
如果可以多幾節歌詞發揮那個轉換,
我想我的耳朵就會聽到出血了 XD
