To The Orient
Pompeya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was born in the land of Tyrant
When you mess with us - this is where it ends
Pulling me pulling me far to the Orient
Trying to fix what I can't mend
Please don't go down a flooded tunnel
Told you to listen through the lies
We all wanna be a part of the bubble
But we're living our saddest dream inside
I was born in the middle of a crying land
When you run from the winter - it starts again
Could it be could it be something that we can
Something we can under stand
Please don't go down a flooded tunnel
Told you to listen through the lies




We all wanna be a part of the bubble
But we're living our saddest dream inside
