The truth
Heroic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time I said life goes on
I was positive, never thought right could be wrong
And everything starts with a happy heart
Emotions don't change, I remember this part
How everthing turns from warm to cold
How feeling alone rapes your soul
From your bones to your flesh, inside out
From your hands to your life, when you know it's about
No news for the truth inside you
What one single person turned you into
How they left, how you felt deceived
And as they walked away you tried to breath

But you should always tell yourself that

I know that one day you'll come around
You can't get out once you heard the sound
You are my past now, face the line
We will forever know this time

I remember how love taught me to hate
But it also made me to believe in fate
That when something dies, something gets born
How all of sudden a new life takes form
When words from emotions are no longer alive
When you're not longer asking yourself the question "Why?"
Now they should know that what you had is over
'Cuz you still got soul, but never be that soldier

Now remember the truth inside you
What one single person turned you into
How they left, how you felt deceived
And as they walked away you tried to breath
But you should always tell yourself that

I know that one day you'll come around (come around)
You can't get out once you heard the sound (heard the sound)
You are my past now, face the line (face the line)
We will forever know this time (know this time)

I know that one day you'll come around (come around)
You can't get out once you heard the sound (heard the sound)
You are my past now, face the line (face the line)
We will forever know this time

I am back and now I see
Everytime you came for me
I was broken easily
You destroyed the frequency




Nothing more for you to break
Nothing more for you to take
