Drift
Kaonashi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always seem to find myself in
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.
They twist it, and bend it,
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.
