Dawn
Incentives Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try as I may, I'm falling
Falling just to move forward again
And I knew
But it didn't seem to matter
Ironically it's the best thing to ever happen to me
I never had it
I never had a chance to fucking breathe
This forward march is all I know
My passion awakes for life

Hopeless, you never, I always
It was never meant to be about you
I want, I want, I want an answer
All I want is the truth
And now I see
I was always the one that held the peace
Fall with me
You're undeserving of the place you held in me
Bring it to a fucking end

And after all this time
I'm finally seeing the light
No longer oppressed by the feelings inside
I know exactly how it feels to be alive

This forward march is all I know
My passion awakes for life





I've found a joy inside, within myself I will confide
Born again, I brush the debris aside
