Shake-Up
mind.in.a.box Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The agency is defective.
The agency is evil.
You cannot trust it anymore.

They destroyed my world.
They destroyed my life.
They destroyed all my aspirations.
At that moment in time,
My mind seemed to be set in stone.
When you′re shaken to your core,
You're bound to discover a new side,
A whole new side.

I may let them see me.
I may let them see me stumble,
But they will never see me fall.

Everything that I did wrong was never my intention.
At that time, I thought it was the right thing to do.
Now that I can remember, I can see the whole truth.
I have found a new purpose. I have found a new goal.
No one will anymore seduce me to the wrong side.
We live in the future, but we will not forget the past.

But we are running away from it.
But I always knew that one day, I will remember.
And I remember, everything.

I remember everything.




Everything.
Everything.
