Estrella
Sunset Voodoo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fire!" He cries, fire in his eyes
The jungle awakes as the sounds magnify
Break away, it's time to make an escape
Do anything just to live another day

Go with the motions, don't lose yourself when you

Fall in a place you don't know

You go with the motions
And grab ahold of what you can
To get yourself out of this land

As you pace on, your mind's a ticking bomb
Breathe deep, you've got to be strong
Choose a path to take, you've got to separate
The feeling's you've got and what will become your fate

Like a jungle man who lost control
Fell in a place he don'r know
Now a devil man who lost his soul
Wiped the slate and he followed the role

Now my friends the time has come
To make a decision

Look to the stars above
Remember where you came from
