Last Regret
Seventh Day Slumber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in the game
Finally I can say I'm proud of me
No hope at all
A day that I believed would never come
No one to blame
The shadows of my past have been erased
A life that only God himself could change
I never dreamed that life could feel this way
Don't wake me please
I've finally found the place where I belong
Only one regret
All those years I lost
For nothing at all

Laughing in pain
Searching for a reason to exist
World torn apart
Excuses left me breathless and ashamed
Slipping away




I found a purpose that's worth fighting for
The memories don't haunt me anymore
