Six Weeks
Of Monsers And Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow, slow me down,
Her blood, on my bones.
Let go, lay to rest.
We fall, we fall, we fall,
We fall to the ground.

Sleep, sleep all night,
While the young, they wait alone.
So get up, shake the rust.
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl,
We crawl on the ground.

Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

A wolf, wolf and I,
We share the same cold meal.
I float on, float on down.
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.

We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.

Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

Coming back, I'm coming back.
Coming back, I'm coming back.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.

Coming back, I'm coming back.
Coming back, I'm coming back.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.

Coming back, I'm coming back.
Coming back, I'm coming back.




She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.

I made some poetry while listening to this song, though I might share it with you guys!
I am a big fan of OMAM and love all their songs. Please don't hate, Im only 11 :(

Born in darkness, born the night
I flutter to the promise of light
to the warmth,
to the glow,
to the new sense of sight
from the world concealed by by the clutches of night
my flaws are not seen by the promise of light
back to the darkness, back to the night.
now there is nothing I can see
as the darkness becomes me
