Last Words
divide Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m lying here when all I want is to go home,
Cold and forgotten but I can't wake up from this one.
The wind blows but I stay still,
My marble skin lies heavy on the ground.
Dilated, eviscerated
Unbreak these bones,
Untie this tongue,
Give back my life which no one owns.
Undo this death,
Rewire and connect,
I don′t want to fall victim yet.
Hidden away, from the world alive,
I wish I had real tears left to cry.
Echoes follow me now from the other side,
Calling me to move on and leave my shell behind.
Unbreak these bones,
Untie this tongue,
Give back my life which no one owns.
Undo this death, rewire and connect,
I don't want to fall victim (yet)
I don'twant to fall, I don′t want my last words to be
"I am alone".
I just want to feel, the blood rush through my veins Oh,
Give me pain
Unbreak these bones,
Untie this tongue,
Give back my life
Which no one owns.
Undo this death, rewire and connect,
I don′t want to fall victim (yet)
I don't want to fall, I don′t want my last words to be
"I am alone".




I just want to feel, the blood rush through my veins Oh,
Give me pain
