human
Jon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think about the words you said back then
Life's like fruit when it comes to the basics
I thought I'd shaken hands with the devil himself
But it was nothing more than a fire in my temple
I wanna touch life itself
Serious and scolding
I wanna turn around
Till I'm no longer human
I wanna meet my roots
Till I'm no longer human
Trying to make my mind up am I on the right side
I'm only half way back
We were meant to ramble like little birds
But this is nothing more than a dried up stream
When I'm touching the fresh leaves
I feel the joy of belonging
I wanna turn around
Till I'm no longer human




I wanna meet my roots
Till I'm no longer human
