07 Killing Time
Infected Mushroom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my dreams
(I can kill you)
Close to me
You open the cage and he sets you free
Come to me
(we run away forever from this misery)
Lost my mind
Are you calling me

Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
I'm always falling down
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
It's coming for you now

(So how can it be)
The color of the world had turned dark on me
(Falling free)
Losing my reflection and my clarity
(Talk to me)
I feel the sickness taking over me
(Let me be)
Imagining that you are here with me

Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
I'm always falling down
Killing time that I left behind




Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
It's coming for you now

In my dreams... I can feel you. Close to me... you open the cage and he sets you free... Come to me... and you can run away forever from this misery... Lost my mind... are you calling me?

Killing time that I left behind, everything changes to a point then it turns around. I'm always falling down.

Killing time, everything changes to a point then it turns around, it's coming for you now... for you now...

So how can it be, the color of the water turned dark on me. Falling free... loosing my reflection and my clarity, talk to me... I feel the sickness taking over me. Let me be... and my dream is that you are here with me.

Killing time that I left behind, everything changes to a point, then it stops and it turns around. I'm always falling down.

Killing time that I left behind, everything changes to a point, then it stops and turns around, its coming for you now.

Killing time that I left behind, everything changes to a point, then it stops and it turns around. I'm always falling down.

Killing time that I left behind, everything changes to a point, then it stops and turns around, its coming for you now.
