Do Or Die
Keanu Silva Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ask myself every night
Time is up, it's do or die
Yeah

I don't wanna break on the shore like a wave
But I feel like I'm all outta time
All my energy wasting away
All play on my mind

I ask myself every night
How it feels to be alive
To let it go, let it ride
Time is up, it's do or die

I ask myself every night
How it feels to be alive
To let it go, let it ride
Time is up, it's do or die

Only die, only die once
Clock is ticking, guess you better run
And don't stop breathing 'til you're done
I know, I know, I know it's do or die

I don't wanna watch evеryhour as it fades
Or think of the years passing by
I keep adding the fuel to the flames
I'm burning bright

Only die, only die once
Clock is ticking, guess you better run
And don't stop breathing 'til you're done
I know, I know, I know, yeah

I ask myself every night
How it feels to be alive
To let it go, let it ride
Time is up, it's do or die

I ask myself every night
How it feels to be alive
To let it go, let it ride
Time is up, it's do or die

Only die, only die once
Clock is ticking, guess you better run




And don't stop breathing 'til you're done
I know, I know, I know it's do or die
