Ready To Run
Nu-Nation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you heard 'bout freedom
You could believe in
Deep inside your heart?
Did you ever remember
Being a pretender
In the past?
It is up to you
To get it through
Before you're dead and gone
Anything you can
Imagine when
You're on your own

Take a look around
What have you found?
The same disgusting lie
Decades of disgrace
In any case
You justified
Try just not to fail
When break this jail
That never looked too strong
Save your whole life's shit
From this complete
Oblivion

You'll hide
The tears that you cried
And inject some fuel in your life's drive
For one more time
When sunshine breaks through the clouds




You'll be ready to run
Untill you time runs out
