Rush
Poisonblack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't help but follow in spite of going insane
For I know you'll swallow the whole of my pain
I'm stepping out of the light to feel what darkness can sow
I stare at the dead red lie...just one glance and I know

All disguised beneath the smile of the temptress, siren, evil child
The devil's sweetest whore
Cause you're feeding the fire within me
Cause you're making me feel so alive
Cause it's only the end of the suffering and I?m drowning in this rush

I was down, now flying...going nowhere fast
There's no denying I need this feeling to last
I breathe in and get higher and the ache fades from sharp to dull
The knives of desire...I feel them all

A thousand cuts still leave me cold
Give me more this soul's been sold and I hope this time I won't wake up dead

Don't blame yourself for what you can't ignore? Don't blame yourself for wanting more and more




Flesh on flesh raising breaths on breaths
I love the rush of death...

I'm stepping out of the light to feel what darkness can sow
I stare at the dead red lie... just one glance and I know

All disguised beneath the smile of the temptress, siren, evil child
the devil's sweetest whore

'Cause you're feeding the fire within me
'Cause you're making me feel so alive
'Cause it's only the end of the suffering and I'm drowning in this rush

'Cause you're feeding the fire within me
'Cause you're making it real for awhile
'Cause it's truly the end of the suffering and I'm drowning in this rush

I was down, now flying... going nowhere fast
There's no denying I need this feeling to last
I breathe in and get higher and the ache fades from sharp to dull
The knives of desire... I feel them all

Don't blame yourself for wanting more and more
Flesh on flesh raising breaths on breaths
I love the rush of death...

'Cause you're feeding the fire within me
'Cause you're making me feel so alive
'Cause it's only the end of the suffering and I'm drowning in this rush

'Cause you're feeding the fire within me
'Cause you're making it real for awhile
'Cause it's truly the end of the suffering and I'm drowning in this rush

I met Ville about three years ago here in Italy. He was smoking a joint after the concert and I went up for an autograph. I ended up chatting with him for something like fifteen minutes! Really friendly and down to earth!

@SamiKorhonen

Century Media Records Hi guys, this is Poisonblack's most viewed music video, with close to 3 million views, could you perhaps consider posting it officially in higher quality than 240p? :)

@sonicriot5972

@century media records .... this resolution is still a shame, just 4 your info :)

@Pe5ukarhu

R.I.P. Sentenced

@adrianamorphous

I doubt it exists in a higher resolution tbh

@cyberhaggis

I guess they'll have to reshoot it... can't get what is not there.
And I guess they just can't be bothered on spending money on a 15 year old song.

@heidisuni7354

@Ådrian Amorphøus It just needs to be digitized in higer resolution from original analog material.
