Aspirations
The Queenstons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sealing heart, mind and skin
Imagining the crying shame
When everything stays the same
But my aspirations are different
With the white of my eyes peering deeply
Through the black of your soul
Search the sky for a spot of dark
And build upon it your sweet ark
Imagining that nothing's left
Memories put to rest
But my aspirations are different
With the warmth of my breath rolling
Slowly across your skin
But my aspirations are different
With the white of my eyes peering deeply
Through the black of your soul
But my aspirations are different
With the warmth of my breath rolling
Slowly across your skin
Twist and turn in the violent wind
Sealing heart, mind and skin

one of the best songs I've heard and only 765 views, really?

well, even though renard is pretty good I'm guessing he's still not well known enough by everyone to have people seach all of his songs. :/

Yeah, I know. I've been a fan for about a year and a half now. Still, you'd think a great song like this would have more views... even if it's not the official video blah blah blah. You know what I mean... right?
