Reset
Rusty Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that I’ve lost everything that I expected not to lose
You made it worse, left me behind
Will you let me drown alone


I could reset but someone pulled the plug
I could reset but I was turned off

Time won’t repair things that I’ve done
I feel nothing but despair
Guilt and constraints will follow my life
It will always hold me back


I’m waiting, just waiting, what am I waiting for?
I’m looking for something, what am I looking for?
I’m waiting, just waiting, what am I doing here?
Bring me back to my life


The boat is sinking and I’m the only one in
I am searching the meaning to my life
The boat is sinking, will you let me drown alone?


I’m waiting, just waiting, what am I waiting for?
I’m looking for something, what am I looking for?




I’m waiting, just waiting, what am I doing here?
Bring me back to my life
