Down
Green Lizard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's hard when
You try 2 survive
And try to hold on
As we will go down
And we will fall down

One day I will go into a new state of mind I guess
Untill that day
I'll try 2 know my name

I try to blink but go numb
So it throws mud in my eye
I gasp for air but there's none
My lungs explode inside

I should know better than 2 let things get to me
I should know better than 2 let let them get to me
I should know better than 2 let you get to me
I should know better than 2 let let me get to me

It's hard when
You try 2 survive
And try to hold on




So we will go down
And we will go
