Release the Pressure
Ultra Naté Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Working from day to day
And it feels like the walls are closing in
If something don't change
I just might break
Under all the pressure and the strain
Chorus
It knocks you back down
Release the pressure
Let it out
Pressure
Makes you scream
Makes you want to shout out loud
Oh lord why me
Oh wont you help me out
Its in my brain
Going insane
Under all the pressure and the strain
Chorus
You can't run
You can't run no you can't hide
Its gonna find you
Now matter how you try
Searchin in vain
You can't escape
Under all the pressure
And the strain
