Twin Method Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Watching from above)
And I am there where
(look down)
I want to be on top, they say, aside who am I?
(I see it so clear)
I can't remember
(in mind)
(When nothing is real)
So
(I know)
Find me beaten by my own morality
(Releasing)
Hang on
(So let go)
I am here, alive, but you're nothing to me
You've got something to say so just say it
Yes I can see the lies that you force on me
You've got something to say so just SAY IT!!
I hate it here, deny that I am claustrophobic
(Try breathing the air)
To the synthetic
(Plastic)
Its all become a mask outside, I see everything
(Corrupting the pure)
But I don't want to
(Unclean)
I feel myself covering up my eyes
(It eats you away)
Now watch me breaking through this hole in decency
(I'm hollow till death)
Hang on
(So let go)
I am here, alive, but you're nothing to me
You've got something to say so just say it
Yes I can see the lies that you force on me
You've got something to say so just SAY IT!!
You've got something to say so just SAY IT!
Tell me lies won't you tell me more
You've got something to say so just say it
Yes I can see the lies that you force on me
You've got something to say so just say it
I am here, alive, but you're nothing to me
You've got something to say so just say it
Yes I can see the lies that you force on me
You've got something to say so just SAY IT!!
SAY IT!!

The lines "You've got something to say so just say it, Yes I can see the lies that you force on me" show a desire for honesty and transparency.

However, towards the end, there is a sense of hope and determination to break free from the constraints holding them back.
