Yellowed
OH FYO! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell about your rise or fall
In either case, they show
The one you've been
Led by what is boon and bane
Look at what you overcame
You will never be
The same again
The harm, the things you sacrificed,
The shattering days and sleepless nights
It's worth it, you just have to survive
'Cause there's a fire, a fire
Meant to lead you through the dark
Follow the light
Because the fire's burning in your heart
Time elapsed from fall to fall
Friends you still forget to call
This could be the path
To loneliness
All the ones surrounding you
Miss out, digress, they go, you lose
You will always pay for what you choose
The harm, the things you sacrificed,
The shattering days and sleepless nights
It's worth it, just go on and survive
'Cause there's a fire, a fire
Meant to lead you through the dark
Follow the light
Because the fire's burning in your heart
You're fighting for something
No one could ever understand
This road is so lonely
That's no reason for you to relent
'Cause there's a fire, a fire
Meant to lead you through the dark
Follow the light
Because the fire's burning in your heart
'Cause there's a fire, a fire
Meant to lead you through the dark
Follow the light
Because the fire's burning in your heart, in your heart
