The Finger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fucking say what you want.
Say what you will,
I'm not listening!
I am the one that’s holding on,
we’re going down,
in a while.

Fucking say what you want.
Say what you will,
I'm not listening!
I am the one that’s holding on,
we’re going down,
in a while.

You control people's minds.
And no one knows, no one thrives.
And they're all lies of control,
It burns in my soul
and you're just sitting here!

Fucking say what you want.
Say what you will,
I'm not listening!
I am the one that’s holding on,
we’re going down,
in a while.

I’m not alone.
We're not afraid.
From the unknown,
we don't wait.

Fucking say what you want.
Say what you will,
I'm not listening!
I am the one that’s holding on,
we’re going down,
in a while.

Fucking say what you want.
Say what you will,
I'm not listening!
I am the one that’s holding on,
we’re going down,
in a while.





We're going down
