Nowhere To Run
N-9 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's try much harder
Too many intents to dismantle the pedestal
Cuz you're the pump that fills the tank
You are the picture that's hanging on my wall now

This is a mixture of hate and ranchor
Something's boiling inside my veins
I've got nowhere to run
As I gaze into space,
I wait to be scooped up in that game
As I mysteriously fade away, into a very thin air

Because when everything is not like it's supposed to be
I see you there at your theatre watching me bleed
A telescope is just scanning those scars which bleed
But you're still talking shit behind your freedom of speech
if all the ages could just pass as fast as the light should be
I bet you'll be there on your pedestal boring me
A telescope is just scanning those scars which bleed
But you're still talking shit behind your freedom of speech

Sometimes i may falter, It fuckin happens to us all
but I won't be knocked out, there is no need to stall at all
I'll just take more steps forward than I take back,

This is a mixture of hate and ranchor
Something's boiling inside my veins
I've got nowhere to run
I've got nowhere to run
I've got nowhere to run

Because when everything is not like it's supposed to be
I see you there at your theatre watching me bleed
A telescope is just scanning those scars which bleed
But you're still talking shit behind your freedom of speech
Sometimes I may falter, it fuckin happens to us all
but I won't be knocked out, there is no need to stall at all




I'll just take more steps forward than I take back
I'll just take more steps forward than I take back
