Faster
Within Temptation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't see, cause it's burning deep inside.
Like gasoline, a fire running wild.
No more fear, cause I'm getting closer now.
So unreal, but I like it anyhow.

I go faster and faster and faster
and faster and faster and faster and faster.
I can't live in a fairytale of lies.
And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right.
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love.
And I can't live in a fairytale of lies.

I can feel that you've mesmerized my heart.
I feel so free.
I'm alive, I'm breaking out.
I won't give in, cause I'm proud of all my scars.
And I can see I've been wasting too much time.
I go faster and faster and faster
and faster and faster and faster and faster.

I can't live in a fairytale of lies.
And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right.
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love.
And I can't live in a fairytale of lies.

I can't live in a fairytale of lies.
And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right.
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love.
And I can't live in a fairytale of lies.





A fairytale of lies.

Let’s all sing together:
I can't sleep
'Cause it's burning deep inside
Like gasoline
On fire running wild
No more fear
'Cause I'm getting closer now
So unreal
But I like it anyhow
I go faster and faster
And faster and faster
And faster and faster
And faster
And I can't live
In a fairytale of lies
And I can't hide
From the feeling 'cause it's right
And I go faster
And Faster and faster
And Faster and Faster
For life
I can't live
In a fairytale of lies
I can feel
That you mesmerize my heart
I feel so free
I'm alive, I'm breaking out
I won't give in
'Cause I'm proud of all my scars
And I can see
I've been wasting too much time
I go faster and faster
And faster and faster
And faster and faster
And faster
And I can't live
In a fairytale of lies
And I can't hide
From the feeling 'cause it's right
And I go faster
And Faster and faster
And Faster and Faster
For life
I can't live
In a fairytale of lies
A fairytale of lies!

This is the TT Isle of Man anthem. Just perfect.

@marcmarti5273

I see where you're going...
and trust me, I hope one day I will be able to see that beautiful island, taste some of those wonderful single malt scotch whiskies (that I already REALLY enjoy) and witness how a bunch of crazy guys drive their bikes just like possessed petrol-head demons at more than 175mph through that amazing landscape "faster and faster and faster..."

I love watching this woman's sing. She keeps a beautiful smile through the entire song. And she has the voice of an angel.

@rogeliozamora1821

Was thinking the same thing

@TeamYen

Roksolana, a concubine and then wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, received the second name "Hurrem", which means "the joyful one" - because all her life she was very cheerful and joyful person, even as a slave in imperial harem.

Sharon is just that type of woman.
