Our Destiny
Venues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your legs are shaking
And your overwhelmed by all those feelings going on inside your head
You’re moving faster
You’re realizing that you’re the one to make your life worth living

You start to understand
You need to leave this place
Don’t waste another second
Just find your breathing space
It’s not selfish to follow your heart
A guidance, a course
Set sail now!

We are not just a pawn of our fate
We will choose, we will choose our destiny
Aiming high never losing our faith
‘Cause we know in the end everything will be alright
Body’s shaking
Body’s aching
But it never felt so fine
To keep on moving
Is what we’re choosing
‘Cause we know in the end everything will be alright

The world keeps turning
Although you tried to catch the train of time
You used to be the one to stand in line

Keep burning down these bridges
You’re better off alone
Tear up the map they gave you
Look up into the sky
It’s not foolish to follow the stars
A guidance, a course
Set sail now!

We are not just a pawn of our fate
We will choose, we will choose our destiny
Aiming high never losing our faith
‘Cause we know in the end everything will be alright
Body´s shaking
Body’s aching
But it never felt so fine
To keep on moving
Is what we´re choosing
‘Cause we know in the end everything will be alright

We are not just a pawn of our fate
We will choose we will choose our destiny
Aiming high never losing our faith
‘Cause we know in the end everything will be alright
Dance it out, never mind
Just leave everything behind
This is our time
No more waiting in line




Shake it off, don’t look behind
‘Cause we know in the end everything will be alright
