Slave
Revenge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me of all the things I've never seen
And it's the strange days and all those echoes in between
It always makes me sad to be here
It isn't what it seems
I think of all the precious time I've wasted
While you live your life in dreams
(Heaven,) how much more there is in me
I'm in a blind rage for all the feelings that I need
If I could find some hope tomorrow
Then I'll hear you scream
I can't believe the words you're saying
The truth means more to me
Nothing ever lasts forever
It's the same for you I'm sure
All the things we did together
They just hurt me more and more
Nothing ever lasts forever
It's the same for you I'm sure




Although like now they seem like never
(Meet another open door)

Even though it feels like they happened so long ago

I'll find a new opportunity or chapter in my life
