Bruce Lee
V For Volume Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here they come again
Why is it that they can run so fast?
Why it is that I got no place to hide all these nightmares?
and I ain’t got no prayers
ain’t got no rhythm
ain’t got no money
ain’t got no tears to share
ain’t got no life to spare
ain’t got no screams to scare

Here they come again
Is the same dream you had yesterday?
The image of Hulk chasing you round and round
Let’s sleep together
would you scare the monsters in my closet?
Are you ready to call Bruce Lee?
Let’s sleep together
would you call Chuck Norris
or are you ready to call Mr. Lee

Always in my dreams, I picture these flashy ways to die,
Like being smashed on a plane crash at 20000 miles an hour
Here they come again
Is the same dream you had yesterday?
The image of the same plane crashing down
Let’s sleep together
would you scare the monsters in my closet?
Are you ready to call Bruce Lee?
Let’s sleep together
would you call Chuck Norris
or are you ready to call Mr. Lee

Let’s sleep together, would you scare the monsters in my closet?
Are you ready to call Bruce Lee?




Let’s sleep together, would you call Machete
or are you ready to call mr. Lee?

De verdad que yo no entiendo cómo ARTISTAS como ustedes (y otros tantos de la escena rock nacional), no sean conocidos internacionalmente; ustedes son tremendos señores de V for Volume, en ésta canción tienen una esencia de N.I.N, y la canción de Cheap Universe tiene una energía tremenda. NUNCA es tarde, así que no sería raro que un día de éstos los invitara una agrupación de peso a girar con ellos, y de ahí.... Por fín un buen artista empezando a representarnos afuera.
Toda la mejor vibra para ustedes. Mucho talento hay ahí. 🍷⭐👍

Hay que darle más visibliad. Amo esta y canción junto con Cheap Universe con mis treinta y puntas de años. Si pasar de venteañero a treinta y me sigue pareciendo mero grupo, es porque hay calidad y menos nostalgia.

Joseph Chiran

Como no recordar que hace unos cuantos años la pasaban mucho por el canal 13 y me gusto mucho. Que buena representación del Rock Colombiano 💕

V for Volume
