Unchained
The Syters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something obscure is growing inside,
Consuming your world and burning your mind!
It sharpens the blade, it wants to escape…
Don't you understand, this is a war?
The only one can be a winner here...
This soul is not for both of us...
Your life light is at the high risk of fading away,
Is at the high risk of fading away!

My association... my fantasy...
Is your nightmare!
It's a perfect misery!

Pleasant feelings are not yours,
This illusion is all you deserve...

Just gonna break the chains!
Breathing new air, your lungs are so clear...
Open the gates of mind and coming in!
Your emotion, your perdition
Is psychological obsession!
Taking the body back, you will go
Forward! It's time for start of the show!
It's time to start final show!

Pleasant feelings are not yours,
This illusion is all you deserve...
Memory is a lie lie lie,
Unique human nature is going to die die!
Your life light is at high risk of fading away...

Look in the sky,
Your blind eyes cannot see this sunshine...
Everything around you was a lie,
For the last hundreds days you believed in it.
In this moment black tentacles get the rope
To tie hands, you are a slave without any hope...
Please ... Don't let it be,
Come on, fight! 'Cause we want to be free!!!
Save me! Just save me! Please save me!
You're not gone…You're not gone…

In this moment black tentacles get the rope
To tie hands, you are a slave without any hope...
Please ... Don't let it be,
Come on, fight! 'Cause we want to be free!!!





Take your life back!
