Chemicals
Tropic Gold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can′t pull my weight out, I beg on my knees
No more momentum, stuck on repeat
So hit the button to reset me
I can feel my heart go numb
From your empty love
I would give another world to have
Run with me no more
I don′t know what′s worse
Givin' up or cavin′ in
All of your bad intentions, now you're all on your own
Gimme your good vibrations ′cause I can't feel alone
I′m sick and tired of feelin' weak
I try my best but I barely sleep
It's like I never land on my feet
No greater feelin′, I′m bittersweet
I can feel my heart go numb
From your empty love
I would give another world to have
You won't take my hand I′m sure
Run with me no more
I don't know what′s worse
Givin' up or cavin′ in
All of your bad intentions, now you're all on your own
Gimme your good vibrations 'cause I can′t feel alone
Now you wanna go and make me feel bad
Now you wanna go and (Now you wanna go and)
Gimme your good vibrations ′cause I can't feel alone
I couldn′t help it, I couldn't sleep
I′m layin' still with my thoughts on repeat
I couldn′t help it, I couldn't sleep
I'm layin′ still with my thoughts on repeat
All of your bad intentions, now you′re all on your own
All of your bad intentions, now you're all on your own
Gimme your good vibrations ′cause I can't feel alone
Now you wanna go and make me feel bad
Now you wanna go and (Now you wanna go and)
Gimme your good vibrations ′cause I can't feel alone

@darkskyxMusic
This is a good turn in how pop-trap should sound like. I hear a little screaming so I guess they tried something different from a post hardcore band. This kind of music is not my taste but I respect it.
