Over the Limit
Hocico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've gotta get it till I go insane
I'm just addicted to the speed I feel
I'm fucking ready to hit this road
I'm fucking ready to burn my soul
Nothing in this world can make me stop
This is my choice and this is my madness
My engine's ready to ignite
My spirit's ready to play with life

Drive me
Drive me insane
Drive me
Over the limit
Speed me
Speed me up
Speed me
Over the limit

I've gotta leave all the bastards behind
They all have boring lives
There is a voice that tells me go faster
'Cause speed is my master
Speed, speed, speed is my master
Speed is my master
Speed, speed, speed is my master

Drive me
Drive me insane
Drive me
Over the limit
Speed me
Speed me up
Speed me
Over the limit

Drive me
Drive me insane
Drive me
Over the limit
Speed me
Speed me up
Speed me
Over the limit

I've gotta get it till I go insane
I'm just addicted to the speed I feel
I'm fucking ready to hit this road
I'm fucking ready to burn my soul
Nothing in this world can make me stop
This is my choice and this is my madness
My engine's ready to ignite
My spirit's ready to play with life

Drive me
Drive me insane
Drive me
Over the limit
Speed me
Speed me up
Speed me
Over the limit
Speed me
Speed me up
Speed me
Over the limit
Drive me
Drive me insane
Drive me
Over the limit
Speed me
Speed me up




Speed me
Over the limit

Orgullo 🇲🇽

Son geniales
De verdad
Deberían volver a México
Y que más quisiera que a Puebla
Ya no pido que regresen a Atlixco
Porque yo entiendo que es difícil
Pero obvio estaría encantada...

ZUGPUNK

Nos quedaron a deber el año pasado, estas de acuerdo?
