GETS ME TROUGH
Ozzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
I have a vision that I just can't control
I feel I've lost my spirit and sold my soul

Got no control

I try to entertain you the best I can
I wish I'd started walking before I ran
But I still love the feeling I get from you,
I hope you'll never stop 'cause' it gets me through yeah
It gets me through yeah

The feelings that I hide behind
Sometimes reality's unkind
The nightmares stalk for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights

I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop 'cause' it gets me through yeah

I'm just trying to live yeah
I'm just trying to live yeah




I'm just trying to live yeah
I'm just trying to live yeah

What scares me is not when one day Ozzy will no longer be with us, and will leave a huge legacy, what scares me is that no one will make music like this anymore. Thanks Ozzy

Rock and Roll will have future titans, just have faith.

@linziRyan1965

A constant fear for me. When Ozzy goes I’m going to lose my mind.

@Garrys-Larry35

The only thing you should be scared of is Ozzy ruling Hell
