I.L.I.C.I.T. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Monsters Demons
Life and it's meaning
Looking for reasons
Family hold them close
Cuz you'll miss them when they're gone
And you'll dream bout being back home
Mom I should've listened to what you said
All these drugs they were fucking my head

Now I'm stuck here picking up the pieces
Sorry for making such a mess
I'm so sorry that your dad died
And I'm sorry that I couldn't say goodbye
But he's happier in the mansion up in the sky
Where he can escape the struggles of daily life, life
Monsters Demons
Life and it's meaning
Looking for reasons
Family hold them close
Cuz you'll miss them when they're gone
And you'll dream bout being back home
I'm sorry I missed your message
No signal I'm disconnected
It's been so hard and I've come so far
But I gave up all I was blessed with
Started at square one
With symbols and snare drums
Surrounded by monsters
And all the things that I'm scared of
Living inside a nightmare
But to escape
I gotta travel a light year
So is it fate
That I'm still standing right here
Overcome by my fear
Of demons and monsters
But they're all really people if I'm keeping it honest
If I'm keeping it honest
Monsters Demons
Life and it's meaning
Looking for reasons
Family hold them close

Cuz you'll miss them when they're gone
And you'll dream bout being back home

Am I dreaming
I am questioning whether or not my current experience is a dream

If I'm dreaming, leave me sleeping
If this is a dream, I want to keep dreaming and not wake up

I find I like this pretty dream
I enjoy this pleasant dream

I saw something I only ever saw
I witnessed something that has never actually occurred in reality before

In my mind come to life today
What I imagined has become a reality before me

As I touch this dream
I am able to physically experience this dream

Hold it in my hands
I am holding onto this dream and cherishing it

I'll praise the Lord Most High
I will express my gratitude to God

For He gave me this dream
I recognize that this blessing is from God

Now that it's come true
This dream has become a reality

I'll pray His blessings
I will ask for God's continued blessings
