Shine
Said Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This something
I can't face, can't face, I can't face
This moment
I'm out of time
Out of mind
I'll never find
The sunset
Out of blood
I'm stuck in something
So now I'm going down
Let me go
Let me out
Now I'm heading for the ground
Like a burning rain of fire
I'm on fire again
Let me in now my friend
I'm not afraid to face the end
Like a burning star of light
I will shine again
I can't escape, can't escape, I can't escape
This countdown
I can't fake, can't fake
I feel I'm drowning
I'm out of air
Out of here
Anywhere I'm going
I'm out of love
Out of trust
There must be something
So now I'm breaking out
Let me go
Let me out
Now I'm heading for the ground
Like a burning rain of fire
I'm on fire again
Let me in now my friend
I'm not afraid to face the end
Like a burning star of light
I will shine again
