Unknown
Ultraviolet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we go, into the unknown
Take it slow
Approaching danger zone

Snow White's got a secret
Weighs her down just like a stone
Tries so hard to keep it
Hopes that it could be outgrown

I thought I could have my own way
Don't say I won't reach my flag day

Just a tomboy with a time bomb
Ticking in her hand
Don't know what will happen
If things don't go as I planned

I know you share this confusion
We've been such a grand illusion

Here we go, into the unknown
Take it slow
Approaching danger zone
Promises always overblown
So light the fuse
And watch the tiny world
Explode
Explode

I believed it when they said:
Fulfillment Guaranteed
Obstacles just make me
More determined to succeed

I'm stuck in a selfish cyclone
Gathering speed
Till I hit destruct mode

Here we go, into the unknown
Take it slow
Approaching danger zone
Promises always overblown
So light the fuse
And watch the tiny world
Explode
Explode

Tell me you believe it
Thankful you still feel it




We are the world's
Best kept secret
