Red Vulture
Sierra León Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

why are you hearing these false prophets
do you think you're special?
What makes you think you're not one of them?

we're all the same.. i guess
i got nothing to say to you

you wouldn't understand it
so sophisticated and complicated

i wouldn't understand it
so intoxicated and suffocated

so sick and tired of this world
i'm about to exploit





just want to rip my eyes, clear my brain
don't want to feel anything
