Revival
Viscaya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dust to dust
Fire at the skies above
Send me to heaven
Send to hell
I want to feel everything there is to feel
I want to feel everything there is to feel
With just a little hope
A little love
Just take your pace
You're doing fine
I swear that you will be okay
And I'll be damned if we don't shine
Brighter than the sun that set our own eyes
Yeah and I'll be damned if we don't try
Brighter than the sun that set our own eyes
I'm so lost in my own mind
But the one thing I refuse is to die
Six feet
Deep beneath the ground
I swear that
I won't give in
Death can wait
You say it's unworth it
I swear it's so perfect
Tell me
What you see
Tell me
What you feel
Is it everything you've ever dreamed?
Oh no
You never said that
Without a knife you had a killing hand
Now you're dead and gone
Might as well and bury me with a rose
On my coffin
Dead and buried down
Six feet
Deep beneath the ground
I swear that
I won't give in
Death can wait
You say it's unworth it
I swear it's so perfect
I want to show you all everything I've ever known
I want to tear you apart
From the inside out
I want to show you what agony is all about
Until the end of my days I'll fight my bouts
I guess some fires burn brighter than others
These are the words I scream
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Oh no
An expression of concern or worry
You never said that
You never mentioned such a thing
Without a knife you had a killing hand
You possessed the capability to harm without the use of a weapon
Now you're dead and gone
Now you have passed away and departed from this world
Might as well and bury me with a rose
It would be fitting to lay me to rest with a symbol of love and beauty
On my coffin
Place the rose upon my burial casket
Dead and buried down
Lifeless and interred beneath the ground
I want to show you all everything I've ever known
I yearn to reveal my entire knowledge and experiences to everyone
I want to tear you apart
I desire to deeply impact and affect you emotionally
From the inside out
Starting from within oneself and extending outward
I want to show you what agony is all about
I long to illustrate the true depth and intensity of agony
Until the end of my days I'll fight my bouts
Throughout my entire life, I will bravely face and overcome my struggles
I guess some fires burn brighter than others
Perhaps certain passions and desires have a more intense and vibrant presence
These are the words I scream
These are the words I passionately and loudly express
These are the words I scream
These are the words I passionately and loudly express
Ashes to ashes
In the circle of life, we all eventually turn to ashes
Dust to dust
From dust we were created, and to dust we shall return
