Flashback
Main Concept feat. Black Tiger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The tears I cried for you that day
are like the tears i cry today
The pain i feel inside reminds me that I'm living everyday
thoughts of you they fill my head
go round and round like yesterday
and all the love i feel for you will bring me through another day

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

All around me there are people telling me who i should be
i hate to disappoint you but these are the colors that i see
if there're just as many colors as there are human beings
then maybe I'm just color blind and missing out on everything

without a word I'm watching as my life keeps passing by
desperately I'm reaching for the days i left behind
and no matter what i try the colors won't collide
painting on a canvas of the scars i tried to hide

i wish that i could be
the feeling of your fingers on my skin
it lingers even after all these years
it's the only color that
remains inside my heart

everytime i try to look into the shadows of your eyes
i feel that somewhere deep inside another light within me dies
everytime i try to solve the mysteries hidden in your hands
another hint is washed away and lost inside the hour glass

with each breath you memories fade to Gray
losing hold you try to find a way
now alone again as silence falls
the only sound is my laughter

i take the dreams that live inside me heart
and splash them cross the nightmares in me head
close my eyes and try to change
the person that i know that I've become
the echo of your words inside me mind
it lingers even after all these years
i pray that it will never fade
insid my broken heart

(instrument)

with each breath your memory fades to Gray
losing hold you try to find a way




and now alone again as silence falls
the only sound it's my laughter
