Kaonashi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Situations that I have no control over.
I′m so over all my limitations.
The anxiety that cripples me.
I need to just breathe in. Release. Release all the pain.
Release all the bullshit that made me this way.
And the reason I never give anyone a piece of my
Mind is because whenever I do they take the whole thing.
And break it down into something I'm left trying to figure out.
And I′m still trying to figure out.
Why?
But I guess I never really had my mind made up in the first place.
Every day I wake up with this thorn in my side.
Broke and angry, going crazy.
I guess this is my life.
So I'm singing and I'm screaming until
You understand the meaning of being a loser.
