Ready
Hare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm ready
I'm ready for that way

A smell of hate
Flows in my soul
Dead skins of hope
Are falling around
I'm searching for a sequel
But nothing's got a name

Close to nowhere, close to nowhere

Standing like a tree
Waiting without fear
There's no more wind
No more sap in my branches
I'm beyond myself
And I don't even care

[Chorus]
I'm ready
I'm ready for that way X2

What could you say
When your life's coming a lie
When more than hope
You don't need your feelings
There's no reason for it
Just nothing more to give

Close to nowhere, close to nowhere





[Chorus] X2
