Not Like You
Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take decisions, you are out of mind
Full of frustrations to punish me?
You like destruction, so try with me
You hear distortions, your fears are mine
You walk the fearing of the inner line
I want to show you what's in my dreams
You're out, visions to kill your pain
You're out, passions, perdition, sin
And you're out, conflicts have crossed the line
You're out, not like you, I prevail.
I see you falling, I let you fall
So you can stay where you belong
I like the trouble that causes your mind
Your eyes, they sing that you will die
