Walking
Luke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Flaws brought to the light
This is where our to worlds collide
Frozen in time
It cuts me down to size
Pierces like a splinter in my mind
Broken inside
Long gone is the circumstance
Fell from my hands
Shape me into what you need me to be
Cause I can't take another night of the silence
The Violence
Breathe in when the flood begins
Don't leave me here now all alone
I am suffocating
I've spent my whole life
Walking Over Fire
Hanging by a wire
Darkness in these skies
Pulsing through the corners by design
Ties that we bind
Look into the night
Is there more than what meets your eyes
Sever these lies
Long gone is the circumstance
Fell from my hands
Shape me into what you need me to be
Cause I can't take another night of the silence
The Violence
Breathe in when the flood begins
Don't leave me here now all alone
I am suffocating
I've spent my whole life
Walking Over Fire
Hanging by a wire
Will you be the one to save me
Even if it's from myself
Give and take away
Build me in your name
To the edge of the world
I will follow
Don't leave me here now all alone
I am suffocating
I've spent my whole life
Walking Over Fire
Hanging by a wire
Will you be the one to save me
Even if it's from myself
Give and take away
Build me in your name




To the edge of the world
I will follow

Because of your videos, I gradually increased my walking time, and improved my routine and now I easily hit 20k steps a day! Sometimes even more than that. 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour before lunch, and 2 hours in the evening. You inspire me, Luke. Thank you. โœจ๐Ÿ™โค

I was a caregiver of my father in-law who had Alzheimer's which was emotionally and physically taxing .I started my half an hour walk that time and it prepared me for the next day to face it more positively .I never miss my evening walks since then

Walking has been my favorite sport always ...just a simple walk either morning or evening or at night ..I just love to go to garden whenever I can and even after my lunch in office, ensure to go outside for a 10 min walk. Whenever I have felt low or get upset with anything, I just indulge in this simple yet healing activity and it has created a magical effect .It just uplifts my mood and make me feel so happy ,so good !
