Collapse
Sirona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left with a sour taste
A temporary escape
To drown out the voices, but I can't keep running for long
The pressure is building
My vices unfulfilling
Overcome by the weight of the world
I broke my back just to learn to walk
A thousand words without a single song
Tracing back my steps I fucking learned to see
That there's more than the man that's in front of me
Every time I fall
I blame myself for letting it get so far
And everything I've done
Wasted efforts
All for nothing
Left with the clothes on my back
Here with myself is my only home
Every time I fall
I blame myself for letting it get so far
And everything I've done
Wasted efforts
Was it all for nothing
Face down in the dirt again
I'll just lie here and wait before I break
Left here alone with my thoughts
Not such a safe place to be
Trying to make a better me
And my mind keeps slipping away
And my heart keeps beating away
Every time I fall
I blame myself for letting it get so far
And everything I've done
Wasted efforts
All for nothing
Instigate me
Look inside deep, there's something that you can't see
Instigate me
Look inside deep, these monsters sleep inside of me

Look inside deep, there's something that you can't see
There is more to someone than meets the eye
These monsters sleep inside of me
Negative aspects and past experiences causing inner turmoil
