Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no escape
The memories in your soul
You can't reshape
Wherever your livin
There's no forgiving
Cause you're guilty of deceit
The flashing lights of evil you can't fight
And they will hurt you
Hurt you
'Most every night
Whatever you may try
The shadows of your crimes they won't go by
Nightmare will haunt your mind
And you will find
They'll never die
Wherever you may go
There's no escape
The memories in your soul
You can't reshape
Wherever your livin
There's no forgiving
Cause you're guilty of deceit
Whatever you may do there's no release
The pain deep down inside will never cease
You're even lying
When you're crying
Coz your heart is filled with hate -
Wherever you will be you'll meet your fate
Whenever you feel free
You'll find out that you've got no chance to flee
Remember only
The lonely
Know what you've done
Whatever you may say
You know you'll never wash your sins away
You will forever
Bear those brandings
You are the one
Wherever you may go
There's no escape
The memories in your soul
You can't reshape
Wherever your livin
There's no forgiving
Cause you're guilty of deceit
Whatever you may do there's no release
The pain deep down inside will never cease
You're even lying
When you're crying
Coz your heart is filled with hate -
Wherever you will be you'll meet your fate
The lyrics to Vanilla Ninja's song "Wherever" talks about the inescapable nature of guilt and the consequences of deceitful actions. The song's lyrics speak to someone who has done wrong and is now living with the memories of their past actions. They cannot escape the guilt they feel, and it haunts them wherever they go. The song emphasizes that even if they try to hide from their past, their wrongdoings will catch up to them.
The line "The flashing lights of evil you can't fight" could represent the consequences or punishment that they will inevitably face as a result of their wrongdoings. The pain, guilt, and shame of their actions are constant reminders that they cannot escape. The lyrics also highlight that the person's heart is "filled with hate," which suggests that they may be struggling with feelings of self-loathing, regret, or remorse.
In the end, the lyrics suggest that the person's fate is already sealed, and they will inevitably face the consequences of their actions. It is a sobering reminder that even though we may try to hide from our past or escape the consequences of our actions, we cannot outrun our mistakes.
