Stuck On Repeat
Higher Education Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowly fade your wounded pride
Well I hate it when my anger gets the best of me
It feels like I′ve been stuck on repeat
At least you can say you tried
It went away
It's been erased
Lose yourself inside the sound
Through a hole I′m falling down
Well it's looking like this will be the death of me
But I know I'll die in ecstasy
When in doubt just stand your ground
It went away
It′s been erased
Now you close the door
Runaway, I′ll never be your reverie
The memories, price to pay, set me free
How insane we've become
But I hope it′s gonna go my way
Slowly fade your wounded pride
