Anthem
Kevin Matisyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come to me to save your face
The burden's to me to lift you up
'Cause you are nothing like the rest
Put your hands in my hands and rest
'Cause I won't let you fall apart
My mind is open for you to close
With thoughts of me and how you will never know
I write the bad ideas
That you feel on the inside but I'm
Not right most of the time
and you can feel the outside caving in
I'll doubt you for a change I doubt you'll go to waste
You're far more braver now than you could ever think

Come to me with open arms and fold into me it’ll shut you up
And you might just be the best with your hair in my hand and fists
And you're safe right here
This door is open for you to close
So leave to me to become what I will never know

It's a dark, cold world to be left alone in
For the revival of an anthem
And we'll create all this flicker with such a little light




such a little light, our voices will unite
And we’ll hypnotize them when we sing…
