What Else
Swim to Drown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Set me free...
NOW! BITCH!
NOW! BITCH!

Always looking for a way to hide, away from you
Away from your real I
A darkest cage with your heart inside
The key to open it. it′s lost at the outside
This time think abou it twice
Break the chains and liberate your life
This world is a paranoia
But nobody cares about it, don't ya?

NOW! BITCH!

The inception of the frustation
The barriers of the way are a fucking deception now
The freedom comes but nobody wants
Obey and be the prey is the only way
A real life never will die
If we stay together one more time
Only an answer that nobody knows
Separates this fucking damned world

I will never understand
The meaning of this life
But everybody knows, that you have one life
To be yourself
Just one life
To feel alive
So what else? I need to set yoU.

FREE!! BITCH!!

I can′t assume this doom parade
Everybody waste a life and nobody gives a fucking shit
An unknow feeling, an unknow meaning
If life is a prize why people don't stop bleeding
At this time but not only this time
Gotta liftup our hearts and search for a new fight
Born to lose but not to hide out
The chains that hold us, gonna break tonight

This life now is fading
Because of my hatred
This life now is fadig
So set me free
So set me free
So set me free

GO!

This life now is fading
Because of my hatred
This life now is fadig
So set me free

This time we need it
We deserve it
You need to be... yourself
Just one life
To feel alive
So what else? i need to set you...

FREEE!!!

This life now is FADING!
Because of my HATRED!




This life now is FADING!
SO SET ME FREE!!
