Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hear the voices from the other side
I'm here and you are there
I know you can hear me, I know you can feel me
Lost fate, I didn't want to die
Tell me, they say it was suicide
Lost fate, I didn't want to die
This is the story of my life
Now I know a day like this I died
You were there and took my hand
Don't cry, I know you can hear me, I know you can feel me
Lost fate, I didn't want to die
Tell me, they say it was suicide
Lost fate, I didn't want to die
Tell me, they say it was suicide
