Déjà vu
Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd meet again, we'd cross that line
Don't need to question, no reason why
The answer lies before your eyes.
Do you know who I am
Do you understand?
Deja vu, dreams come true
I see my soul inside of you
Deja vu, so many lives
Familiar spirits behind your eyes.
We cross between worlds through windows of light
With open arms we hold back the night
The crystal of power we hold in our hands
We go on forever and love is the plan.
Do you know who I am
Do you understand?
Repeat Chorus.
