Nitro
Trapped in Static Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In hunger and distress, I turned to you
You build up a wall and you said crawl under
As I embrace this moment I promise I will grow
And I will break through this madness with a thunder
Sick and tired of screaming your name
Never thought it could be the same
When someone else takes your place, cause I see you

I need another one to call my friend
You gotta get out of my way
And just before you think you'll understand
They're gonna tell you this is the end
The end, the end yeah
This is the end, the end, the end yeah

I am counting lies cause now I feel betrayed
Is there any other way to move on without running away
And the record playing, the same tune today and yesterday
The same old game, everyone plays but I refuse to play, cause I see you

I need another one to call my friend
You gotta get out of my way
And just before you think you'll understand
They're gonna tell you this is the end
The end, the end yeah
This is the end, the end, the end yeah

Lately I've been feeling down and there's so much noise that goes around
So many laws and all those voices, feeling blind from all the choices
What is in and what is out, and all this shit is getting louder
And I can't hear myself, but i see you

I need another one to call my friend
You gotta get out of my way
And just before you think you'll understand
They're gonna tell you this is the end
I need another one to call my friend
You gotta get out of my way
And just before you think you'll understand
They're gonna tell you this is the end

The end, the end yeah
This is the end, the end, the end yeah

Line by Line Meaning

In hunger and distress, I turned to you
In a state of desperation and longing, I sought your support and comfort

You build up a wall and you said crawl under
You erected barriers and instructed me to find a way to overcome them

As I embrace this moment I promise I will grow
In accepting and cherishing this present situation, I vow to develop and evolve

And I will break through this madness with a thunder
I will triumph over the chaos and confusion with great strength and determination

Sick and tired of screaming your name
Exhausted and fed up with constantly calling out for you

Never thought it could be the same
Never anticipated that things would remain unchanged

When someone else takes your place, cause I see you
When another person replaces you, because I still perceive your presence

I need another one to call my friend
I require a different person to form a close bond with

You gotta get out of my way
You must remove yourself from obstructing my path

And just before you think you'll understand
And right before you believe you will comprehend

They're gonna tell you this is the end
Others will inform you that this is the conclusion

The end, the end yeah
The end, the end, yeah

This is the end, the end, the end yeah
This signifies the conclusion, the end, the end, yeah

I am counting lies cause now I feel betrayed
I am tallying the falsehoods because I now feel deceived

Is there any other way to move on without running away
Is there an alternative method to progress without escaping

And the record playing, the same tune today and yesterday
And the song repeating, the identical melody from today and yesterday

The same old game, everyone plays but I refuse to play, cause I see you
The repetitive cycle that everyone engages in, but I choose not to partake, as I still perceive your presence

Lately I've been feeling down and there's so much noise that goes around
Recently, I've been experiencing sadness and there is an overwhelming amount of distractions

So many laws and all those voices, feeling blind from all the choices
Numerous regulations and a multitude of opinions, causing a sense of confusion and uncertainty

What is in and what is out, and all this shit is getting louder
What is considered popular or acceptable, and all these negative influences are becoming more prominent

And I can't hear myself, but I see you
And I am unable to hear my own thoughts and emotions, but I still perceive your presence

I need another one to call my friend
I require another individual to label as my companion

The end, the end yeah
The end, the end, yeah

This is the end, the end, the end yeah
This signifies the conclusion, the end, the end, yeah
