Domestic Crisis
Nocturnal Bloodlust Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No… already afternoon, how long have this pain imprisoned you?
In long time you forget how this problem is solved, looking for the answer.
Hiding in the dark way. no one cares you.
Do you remember why you put yourself in a cage?
And everybody sets a bomb.
Hateful stress chained this world, separated from the beautiful truth.

This is me, this is me, this is me, this is me...

Do you want to save me? Do you know what I am?

I wake up in the morning,
well twenty-four seven staring at filthy screen.
Shut out from the reality.
Nothing can remind you of what a day is good.
Sick and tired of fake smile.
Making food is wasting a time, so go to bed.
Get out of here with shoes.

The sky is so bright under this sunshine, is making me fly.
Beautiful smile, how long have I missed affection?
Walking in wrong way is living in trash-can,
Let's burn to ashes. But this is story in my dream.
I wake up in the morning front of screen.

Hey ladies, tell me how to talk to you,
I'm so shy boy.
Hey gentlemen, please don't hit me, my body is thinner than toilet paper
Dispel fear of environment.
Get out of here with shoes.

The sky is so bright under this sunshine, is making me fly.
Beautiful smile, how long have I missed affection?
Walking in wrong way is living in trash-can, lets burn to ashes.
But this is story in my dream.
I wake up in the morning front of screen.

No... already afternoon, how long have this pain imprisoned you?

In long time you forget how this problem is solved, looking for the answer.
Get out of here with shoes.
