Naked
Red Cell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything must be inside you - to be controlled
everything must die inside you - reveal your soul

Where my nightmares end
there´s a smile I create
Holding truth to be judged
the hand - the sin
All the voices I hear
words to burn and erase
Holding persons inside
the black - the red

Everything must be inside you - not everything can be controlled
everything must die inside you - before you leave, reveal your soul

Where my shield starts to fall
only fear lights my way
Try to cover the stains
install - awake
Loving hate and excuse
including me, too abused
Searching strength and release
come share - my end





Everything must be inside you - not everything can be controlled
everything must die inside you - before you leave, reveal your soul
