Give It Up
Useless ID Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do you swim in a pool without water?
What do you think of when you fall asleep?
Are you lost here without an opinion?
I believe.

Are you alive when you're thinking backwards?
What kind of future would it bring for you?
Your promised land feels more like Battlefield avenue.

Give it up now, give it up.
Stop and look around.
Are you waiting for the pit stop?
Make the pain stop then carry on while you're fading away.

It's been years and I'm here to remind you,
How little of yourself you really know.
You're so compulsive in a manic disorder,
Let it go. (Let it go)

Getting by when everyday is nothing,
But a travel from yourself to you.
Getting tired of living the exhaustion,
When all the pages are torn in tow.

Give it up now, give it up.
Stop and look around.
Are you waiting for the pit stop?
Make the pain stop then carry on while you're fading.

I can see you in another kind of light.
The one you never thought you'd see yourself giving up.
Back to the start, fall into the wrong place once again.

The worst of you is covered in a black gown.
The worst of you is covered in a black gown.

Dying,
Dying,
Crying in the end.

I'm not a scientist looking for an answer.
I'm just a mind that came along.
But, I believe in none of your existence
In this world.

Give it up now, give it up.
Stop and look around.
Are you waiting for the pit stop?
Make the pain stop then carry on while you're fading.

I can see you in another kind of light.
The one you never thought you'd see yourself giving up.
Back to the start, fall into the wrong place once again.

Give it up.
Give it up.
I'm wondering if you're awake at all.
Give it up.




Give it up.
I'm wondering if you're awake at all.
