Too Much Light
The Y Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I think too much
I loose myself
I begin to breathe too much
Can anyone help?
I"ll loose myself
I'll drown in thoughts that never help
If I let go
Then I won't know
If things really ever worked out
A mind that gets pleasure from doubt
If I hold on
Then it's gone
I'm forcing my future to come
But it's not a rewarding one
If I let go
Then I won't know
If things really ever worked out
A mind that gets pleasure from doubt
If I hold on
Then it's gone
I'm forcing my future to come
But it's not a rewarding one
I'll be fine
Once you're out of my life
Leave me behind
You erase all of my time
When I think too much
I loose myself
I begin to breathe too much
Can anyone help?
I"ll loose myself
I'll drown in thoughts that never help
I will loose myself
I'll drown in thoughts that never help
If I let go
Then I won't know
If things really ever worked out
A mind that gets pleasure from doubt
If I hold on
Then it's gone
I'm forcing my future to come
But it's not a rewarding one
If I let go
Then I won't know
If things really ever worked out
A mind that gets pleasure from doubt
If I hold on
Then it's gone
I'm forcing my future to come
But it's not a rewarding one
I'll be fine
Once you're out of my life




Leave me behind
You erase all of my time

Кто из 2020 и надеется на выход 4 сезона?

@Kino_baron

Все кто сериал смотрел(((((( Я вот неделю назад смотреть начал, и очень привязался к нему(

@ussr2262

Он выйдет, коронамирус решил все за всех. Жанр этого сериала вновь стал актуальным и выгодно снять новый сезон. Правда, права по слухам были проданы Японцам, но это поправимо.

@Kino_baron

@@ussr2262 это круто, но где например пруфы что его вообще выпустят?

@ussr2262

@@Kino_baron во первых это всего лишь моя версия как все будет развиваться, а во вторых в пример игра Plaque Ince у нее были не очень высокие рейтинги и мало кто донатил в нее,её даже хотели забросить. И вот эпидемия её рейтинги резко пошли вверх и бюджет игры вырос на 60млн.$. Притом было много сериалов, которые закрывали, но спустя время возобновляли.Правдо права по слухам продали Японцам, но это другой вопрос и он решимый. А так я всего лишь предположил, что это возможно. Дай бог, чтобы он вышел с теми же персонажами и той же кино компанией

@Kino_baron

@@ussr2262 если даже и продали сериал японцам, то уже смотреть этот сериал смысла не будет, ибо вряд ли они будут снимать тех же актёров, да и актёры уже за 4 года изменятся, и есть 2 варианта. 1 самый очивидный это его переделают с самого начала. 2 его продолжат после 3 сезона с другими актёрами и не будет относится к 3 сезону( Да и вряд ли вообще снимать его будут, актёры изменились, некоторые вообще не согласятся. И стс смысла не будет его снимать(Но надеемся на лучшее
