Paranoia
Santiago Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't let them get you down
It's the fashion to let it happen
Turn the rest around
And make it to the line
Gotta' when they're lying
Do you know when they are trying
There are people in this world to take you down
Through the passing of the years (Of the years)
Watch for those with outward smiles and inward schemes
Don't believe in everything (That they say)
Through the passing of the years

Drifting on a dream
Don't hope it happens pursue with passion
Whatever you please
Take it to the wire
There are people who achieve it
There are those who just receive it
Say you make do, you lost, gived it all

Through the passing of the years (Of the years)
I believe the sky will open up for you
Don't believe in all your fears (That may come)
Through the passing of the years

Through the passing of the years (Of the years)
Watch for those with outward smiles and inward schemes
Don't believe in everything (That they say)
Through the passing of the years

Through the passing of the years
We're single minded and you will find it (The passing of the years)
Open minded, don't try to hide it (The passing of the years)
We're single minded and you will find it (The passing of the years)
Open minded yeah

Through the passing of the years (Of the years)
I believe the sky will open up for you
Don't believe in all your fears (That may come)




Through the passing of the years
Through the passing of the years
