It Hurts
Mariha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a lack of passion
Since watching television
And it hurts
I got a great invention
And nobody pays attention
And it hurts
I got a false information
At the information center

And it hurts
And if there's something nice
You gotta find something nicer
And it hurts

And the perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little

I lost utility
Which was important for me
And it hurts
I tell my fantasy
You talk bout theory
And it hurts
I got the weird impression
That there's coming up depression
And it hurts
And if there's any operation
There is always interruption
And it hurts

And the perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little close and stopped my angels moving
The perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little

I find me hesitating
When solution would be acting
And it hurts
In my intimidation
I find no one for protection
And it hurts
I left a message on the answer phone
And then I hear you were at home
It hurts
And without evidence no-one
Believes in ghost presence
And it hurts

And the perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little close and stopped my angels moving
The perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little
Close

I do believe in conspiracy
And live in this reality
That hurts
You were my first priority
And now you flee away from me
That hurts
I cannot find the relation
To get rid of this frustration
And it hurts
And for the great perfection
There are a million different options
Could be worse

And the perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little close and stopped my angels moving
The perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little
Came a little
Close
And the perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little close and stopped my angels moving
The perfect engineering
And the constant interfering
Came a little
Came a little
Close

I got a lack of passion
Since watching television
And it hurts
I got a great invention

And nobody pays attention
And it hurts
