Absence
The Yukon Club Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Though I keep myself
from judging before
But im constantly

May our voices been heard
And the silence been torn
But were dying inside
Unconsciously

Running home

And i know we'll all be
Saviours on the run
We back down for our reason
Don't sort it out with (guns)

The needless goodbyes
The torment of loss
Strikes tragically

Our sweet little lies
will cover the shore
where we shed our tears
where we started

And i know we'll all be
Saviours on the run
We back down for our reason
Don't sort it out with (guns)

And i know we'll all need
Our hands to heal
And our eyes to see

We don't care for a last thing

Or another blessing
That we need to bring

Line by Line Meaning

Though I keep myself from judging before
I usually refrain from being judgmental

But im constantly
But I am always

May our voices been heard
May we express ourselves openly

And the silence been torn
And may the silence be broken

But were dying inside
But we are slowly losing life internally

Unconsciously
Without being aware

Running home
Retreating to our safe place

And i know we'll all be
And I am confident that we will all become

Saviours on the run
Saviors who are in a hurry to make a difference

We back down for our reason
We back down because we have reasons to do so

Don't sort it out with (guns)
Don't settle it with violence
