Survive
Lacuna Coil ‎ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel alone in a million crowd
An outside wandering alone without
Any words to say, they can't explain
The desire to overcome the pain
Feel the breath that's always getting away
Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid

[Chorus:]
I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, feeling stronger for how much longer?
I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, I survive

A voice inside of me that keeps on teasing
As sweet as like a whisper from the lips of pain
And so many steps that I can't make
I can't take the chance, release the break
And the breath just keeps on getting away
Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid





[Chorus: x2]

Man I use to listen to Lacuna Coil heavy back in 2003-4. I was only a kid then. I was still trying to understand music and concepts.
This band is fucking timeless. Their sound is therapeutic.
