Falling apart
Silvergun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Of everything I said to you
your lies don't hide the truth
now I live in this hell
so go and destroy yourself
but now I'm torn in between
you and this life I lead
but now it's slipping away
Well I tried so hard
to keep this from falling apart
I tried so hard
to keep this from falling apart

So now I'm torn at the seams
please just let go of me

now I'm slipping away (Echo)

Well I tried so hard
to keep this from falling apart
I tried so hard
to keep this from falling apart
I tried so hard
to keep this from falling.apart

Well I tried so damn hard
to keep this from falling apart
I tried so damn.hard

Well I tried so hard
to keep this from falling apart
I tried so hard
to keep this from falling apart




I tried so hard
to keep this from falling.apart

Line by Line Meaning

Of everything I said to you
Out of all the things I've told you,


your lies don't hide the truth
The lies you told cannot cover up the truth,


now I live in this hell
I am now residing in a miserable existence,


so go and destroy yourself
I want you to ruin yourself,


but now I'm torn in between
However, I am now struggling between two choices,


you and this life I lead
To be with you or to continue living this life I am currently leading,


but now it's slipping away
Regardless, it seems that everything is slowly escaping from me,


Well I tried so hard
I put in a lot of effort,


to keep this from falling apart
to prevent everything from falling apart,


So now I'm torn at the seams
As a result, I am now falling apart myself,


please just let go of me
Therefore, I ask you to release your hold on me,


now I'm slipping away (Echo)
As everything continues to fall apart, I am gradually losing myself and my grip on reality.


I tried so damn hard
I have tried exceedingly hard,


to keep this from falling apart
to prevent everything from crumbling down,


I tried so damn hard
I put in so much effort that it became painful,


to keep this from falling apart
just to prevent everything from completely falling apart.
