Wrong Turn
The Blackout City Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a bruised chin take a skinned knee
take a million hits before I ever concede
scream is that all you got as I bleed

I always come back, I never disappear
even if I take my final breaths here
I need you now
don't fade away on me
cause I made a mistake,

I think I took a wrong turn
somewhere along the way,
I sealed my fate
and all I know is you're gone,
yeah you're gone away
I'll never touch your face
I'll never see you again

And I watch each day through the falling snow,
the dead men walking through their highs and lows
wishing they could start again somewhere new
and I stare at the cold and I feel their pain,
i watch as their life slowly fades away.
I see their eyes, they're piercing mine,
there's nothing I can say

Cause I made a mistake,
I think I took a wrong turn
somewhere along the way,
I sealed my fate and all I know is you're gone,
yeah you're gone away ill never touch your face
I'll never see you again

Cause I made a mistake,
I think I took a wrong turn
somewhere along the way,
I sealed my fate and all I know is you're gone,




yeah you're gone away ill never touch your face
I'll never see you again

@@Hidan6996 Three finger was in all the original time lined movies yes but he didn't survive. He was killed by Nate in the third one with a hook through the head and then exploded with the car shortly after.

The first one was good,
The second was better,
The third is fun,
The fourth was good,
The fifth was bad,
The sixth was literally a porno.

The remake just isn't a wrong turn film.

for anyone wondering why this ain't out as albums and stuff is because they made the song to fit the movie, they'll hire a team to come up w/ a song for the movie... several movies do it, if u listen closely you'll hear that it's really describing the movie.
