Red Carpet
Velabonz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like i'm in the other room.
Bleeding here, and you walk away,
Are we finished, are we through?
If you say it's over, i'm back where i started, it adds up to nothing, baby
It took so long to get nowhere. didn't you notice all this or were you just too high?
All the tears, all of the spells,
They are dying one by one.
If i disappear, and i run away,
Am i still the fucked up one?
If you say it's over, i'm back where i started, it adds up to nothing, baby
It took so long to get nowhere. didn't you notice all this or were you just too high?
How many times did your circles spin you around?
How many times did i lift you up off the ground?
Now i mop (?) up my blood, it stains. it was over nothing. over nothing.
Back where i started, i took to nothing, baby, baby, baby.
If you say it's over, i'm back where i started, it adds up to nothing, baby
It took so long to get nowhere. didn't you notice all this or were you just too high?
Were you just too high?
