My Endless Winter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

From dusk ′till dawn
From the right to the wrong
It's callin′, I hear it, I feel it,
It's coming and dragging my soul

As above so below,
They won't leave me alone
Something is holding me back,

It′s too late but I gotta move on with the flow.

It′s hatred,
I never felt so frustrated.
Yeah. I'm hated,
Better than humiliated

They near,
I hear them behind my ear.
I shiver,
How can I make all these dreams disappear?

I′m drowning in these thoughts
In what I fear the most
I know I lost my halo,
I know it's getting worse.

Take off your hands Ι can hardly breath
Take my life but please set me free
Twist the knife on the count of 3
There′s no time to say goodbye.

-RUN BOY-

Run boy, better run, run for your life
And don't look back what′s done is done
You can't win your mind,
Can't walk through the fire.

I should have known from the start
You can′t mess with things like that
I thought I was playing, but now it′s unfolded,
I'm doomed and they won′t let me run!

I'm getting in touch with the voice
Silence - Most violent noise
Bipolar, I love it, I hate it, they made me
But I don′t think I have the choice.

Finally, maybe, I better be alone without a sense of serenity
Honestly, I couldn't be on my own
I′m killing my self-identity

I'm looking for something that's gone
The power inside is strong
Somebody take my hand I′m drowning,
The ceiling is one with the floor!

Take off your hands Ι can hardly breath
Take my life but please set me free
Twist the knife on the count of 3
There′s no time to say goodbye.

-RUN BOY-

Run boy, better run, run for your life
And don't look back what′s done is done
You can't win your mind,
Can′t walk through the fire.

Boy, turn and look the other way
(I'm looking for something that′s gone. The power inside is strong)
Otherwise it's dangerous to stay

(Somebody take my hand I'm drowning,
The ceiling is one with the floor)
