dustbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They cams again, trying to block my away...
When I try o take a step
They always come, trying to snatch my dreams away...
Don't let me down... I'm drawing a new picture
I wanna finish it off at any cost!
And they're trying to repaint it strange colors...
But I can't stop dreaming
And I don't want to be defeated by fear
I never wanna lose my self again
For living in the dark, what i need is a light of hope
Tears overflow and spred in my sight
They're bitter tears, I've nothing in my hand
The unfinished picture, I can't draw it anymore
'Cause I don't wanna know my weakness again...
I'd buried deep in so many problems alone
I've thought I couldn't do nothing anymore
You, my friend give me a new paintbox
It's the best present for me
Then I felt I was never all lone...
Fear wraps me and darkness smiles
They're always here, but I'm not afraid of the fear
So I can't stop dreaming
And I don't want to be defeated by fear
I never wanna lose myself again
For living in the dark, what I need is a light of hope...
I never wanna lose myself again
For living in the dark...
For living in the dark, what I need is...
A light of hope
