Knockin' On The Door
Kemuri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somethin' really hard to get
Seemed like everyone had it but I didn't or I couldn't
Someday I will get it!
I just keep on tellin' myself that's the truth!
Tried to make myself blinded and just tried to Believe, Believe in myself!
Now I'm knockin' on the door, without a fear I'm here!
I'm knockin' on the door, you won't see me like before
I'm knockin' on the door, the door of the portion
Now I know I have it! I have somethin' truly great to have
I wish I could share it with you but I'm sorry,
You have to get it yourself
Someday you will get it!
Maybe tomorrow or before the tears get dried
You won't see me, but you'll hear me
You won't touch me, but you'll feel me
So Don't cry!
Now I'm knockin' on the door, without a fear I'm here!
I'm knockin' on the door, if I'm right I'll see the light
I'm knockin' on the door, No Regret or Neglect!
I'm knockin' on the door, the door of the portion
Knockin' on the door! Wow, wow, wow!
