Twisted
Tides of Anareta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost my breath
When the walls came down
The panic comes I try to breathe
But I am twisted and alone
From the cradle life seems so unfair
To the grave we march
With a vacant stare
I cannot take much more of this
In the dawning of the day
In the lies that we create
The simple, broken truth
It rips your soul and
Leaves you
Breathing
Just enough to live
The failures of my life unfold
Tattered pages still yet to be told
Memories of everything we've lost
Along the road to nowhere
Why am I full of regret
This feeling will not relent
Inside this prison we wait
What are we waiting for
In the dawning of the day
In the lies that we create
The simple, broken truth
It rips your soul and
Leaves you
Breathing
Just enough to live
In the dawning of the day
In the lies that we create
The simple, broken truth
It rips your soul and
Leaves you wanting more
Just a little bit more
What are we waiting for
Falling away
Here we wait
One more day
I'm falling away (Falling away)
Here we wait
One more day

Thanks brosef!
Anti Do
Much appreciated! Brilliant lyrics from a brilliant band. But unfortunately I got these lyrics figured out thanks to the good help of my girlfriend. Still haven't figured out what "solar bees" (moonlight and memories) are, though. So I hope that gets wrapped up anytime soon.

@Anti Do Yes we do too...
