Sorrow
Lambretta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you dying without pain
Poison pumping through your veins

When you're down and out
Is it fun what is it all about

Can you live without tomorrow
Can you live without today
Questions full of sorrow
But the pain is for you to pay

You tell me nothing else but lies
Sweet sweet lullabies

When you're?
Can you live?
When you're stoned
Soon entombed
Can't you see It's not reality





Can you live?

The song is a reminder that addiction doesn't just affect individuals, but also their loved ones who are forced to stand by and watch as their loved ones slowly destroy themselves.
