After Dark
Lovelorn Dolls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What I left, what I need
What I’m supposed to be
Don’t really want it anymore
It’s so black in my thoughts
I try some evil charms
Where is the light, the open door
To relieve my heart
Die now , release me now
Right now, reveal me now
Die now, release me now
If I’m sincere, you’ll disappear


Vanishing in the air
And leaving for nowhere
Will there be someone to remind ?
When the wounds in my heart
The blows have made me blind
There is a light in front of me
In the after dark

Die now , release me now
Right now, reveal me now
Die now, release me now
If I’m sincere, you’ll disappear


What I care, what i dream
Another wasted realm
I do not really want it now

All I could never say
All these words in my head




Where is the light, the open door
To relieve my heart
