Ignition
Hanover Saints Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look in the face of frustration
Flip of the switch of the faith ignition
To bind me up
Iæ?¦ beginning to see your filthy hands
Iæ?¦ one to admit, Iæ?³e taken for granted
Taken a leap and regret where Iæ?³e landed
To bind me up
I want a healing hand

Ignition, Ignition, I donæ?° wanna live my life in contradiction
Ignition, Ignition, I donæ?° wanna live my life this way

Make a stand, take a position
On how you feel about the situation
This might mean you gotta change the way you live
Man I have lost friends for what I believe
But my heart yearns for integrity
This is the fight I am gonna win

Sometimes we talk too much and donæ?° allow change
