Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
waiting to be found
can't let out a sound
alone and now way out
(x2)
let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out.......
was i another case
of the bomb that fell today
why am i to blame
alone in this lonely place
was i another case
of the horrors in our days
why am i to blame
(Chorus)
nananananana no way out
far away, far from home
nananananana no way out
of this place, all i know
now i'm all alone
tragedy has hit my home
time has come and gone
but still the damage has been done
(x2)
let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out......
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
nananananana no way
nananananana no way
nananananana no way whoa, whoa
(x2)
