Purpose
Vaelin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You told us all to keep out and it ruined all of my plans
You keep on running your mouth, you'll have to shut it in advance
You ask me if you astound me, I don't know ,well it depends
Stand outside, let's go home
Tell me why you don't know where you're coming from
I don't wanna say it again
Let the curtains fall, i don't wanna look at the end
Let's just forget that time
Can you let me out?
You know I'm still trapped in the pit
Never knew there was a purpose till you told me there is
You know I can feel them shiver
Honestly I really hate when they bicker
If its really how it is you know that I'll rush it quicker
When my bad mood spirals think my mind gets slicker
so help me
are you gonna be the one to tell me?
I feel like I have been begging for help please
And there's so many things that I still need
Stand outside, let's go home
Tell me why you don't know where you're coming from
I don't wanna say it again
Let the curtains fall, i don't wanna look at the end
and I've seen your bad side
Let's just forget that time
Can you let me out?
You know I'm still trapped in the pit
Never knew there was a purpose till you told me there is

It's way too much for me now, I let it all out of my hands
The weight of everything has become overwhelming, so I've relinquished control
You told us all to keep out and it ruined all of my plans
Your instruction to stay away has disrupted my carefully laid out intentions
You keep on running your mouth, you'll have to shut it in advance
If you continue to speak without restraint, I'll have no choice but to silence you preemptively
You ask me if you astound me, I don't know, well it depends
You inquire whether you amaze me, but my reaction varies depending on the circumstances
Stand outside, let's go home
Step away from the situation and let's retreat to familiar surroundings
Tell me why you don't know where you're coming from
Explain the reason behind your lack of understanding or direction
I don't wanna say it again
I prefer not to repeat myself
Let the curtains fall, I don't wanna look at the end
Allow the curtains to close, as I'd rather not witness the conclusion
And I've seen your bad side
I've witnessed your negative attributes
Let's just forget that time
Let's choose to erase the memories of that period
Can you let me out?
Can you release me from this confinement?
You know I'm still trapped in the pit
You're aware that I remain imprisoned in this despairing situation
Never knew there was a purpose till you told me there is
I was oblivious to the existence of a purpose until you enlightened me
