Invincible
July For Kings Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought any of this would break
It was a good dream
It's not easy trying to wake
I never thought we'd end up here this way
Then again, I don't think too much
About anything I say
About anything I say

Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then
I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible

I never thought any of this would break
We built it so carefully
It would weather any quake
I don't know how far we'll fall
But anymore I don't know too much about anything at all
Anything at all

Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then
I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible

Things are different now
And it's a wild world
Here's to waking up
When it was painful
Here's to living again
This isn't the way it was supposed to end

I couldn't blame you
For walking out now
I'm kinda tired, too
But I thought that somehow
We could hold up the sky
I guess this means

I never thought any of this would break
It was a good dream it's not easy trying to wake

Easy trying to wake

Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then
I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible

Life was hard and the walk was far
It didn't matter then
Every wrong turn we made
And the price we paid
It didn't matter then

I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible

Overall Meaning

Line by Line Meaning

I never thought any of this would break
I never expected this to end

It was a good dream
We had a nice time while it lasted

It's not easy trying to wake
It's hard to accept when something is over

I never thought we'd end up here this way
I didn't see us coming to this point

Then again, I don't think too much
I don't always over-analyze things

About anything I say
I sometimes speak without thinking

Life was hard and the walk was far
We faced difficulties and traveled a long journey

It didn't matter then
It wasn't important at that time

Every wrong turn we made
Every mistake we committed

And the price we paid
The consequences we faced

I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
I understand waiting for a miracle has been difficult

But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible
But it was a great feeling to be unbreakable and powerful

Things are different now
The situation has changed

And it's a wild world
The world can be unpredictable and chaotic

Here's to waking up
Cheers to accepting reality

When it was painful
Even though it might have been hard or hurtful

Here's to living again
Cheers to moving on and enjoying life

This isn't the way it was supposed to end
This wasn't the expected outcome

I couldn't blame you
I wouldn't hold it against you

For walking out now
For leaving at this time

I'm kinda tired, too
I am also exhausted

But I thought that somehow
But I believed, someway, we could make it

We could hold up the sky
We could handle anything

I guess this means
This indicates

Easy trying to wake
It's hard to accept when something is over

Life was hard and the walk was far
We faced difficulties and traveled a long journey

Every wrong turn we made
Every mistake we committed

And the price we paid
The consequences we faced

I know it's been hard to wait so long on a miracle
I understand waiting for a miracle has been difficult

But wasn't it good to feel so strong and invincible
But it was a great feeling to be unbreakable and powerful
