Class Trial
Swim to Drown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this game of life and death
Do you prefer hope or despair?
In this game of life and death
Do you prefer hope or despair?
In this game of life and death
Do you prefer hope or despair?

You woke up in a weird situation
A whole class and a bloody graduation
A full life in the fucking damnation
If you don't play this game of desperation
A game of murder, a fucking despair
Made out pink blood and betrayed friends
But the killing starts (NOW) investigation goes (NOW),
And this class trial just began!!
PULL THE TRIGGER!!
SHOOT THE BULLET!!
PULL THE TRIGGER!!
SHOW THE TRUTH!!
Try to find out the answers of the questions
Who is behind this killing obsession
Nobody is out of those accusations
The bullets are flying searching a direction
Now is time to see into this fucking folder
Do you really think it was da' baseballer?
Everybody thinking that the killer is you
But you know the truth, so shoot a proof!!
PULL THE TRIGGER!!
SHOOT THE BULLET!!
PULL THE TRIGGER!!
SHOW THE TRUTH!!
IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!! (sampler Monokuma)
Punishment time
You try to escape, over and over again
But you forget one thing...
You can't escape from reallity
PULL THE TRIGGER!!
SHOOT THE BULLET!!
PULL THE TRIGGER!!
SHOW THE TRUTH!!
Hope and despair!
Are the same!
Hope and despair!
Are the same!
Hope and despair!
Are the same!
Hope and despair!
Are the same!
Hope and despair!
Are the same!
Hope and despair!
Are the same!
Hope and despair!
Are the same!




Hope and despair!
Are the same!
