Metro

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear no voice or sound
Only wasteland all around
Spikes of restless evil
Ultra violence medieval
That's the modern empty age
And I go, and I go
I don't know where I go
But I know that that's for sure
That's the only place for living
Is the metro station's thrilling
Dungeons underground

Metro station's down the street
I gonna go there you know why
Metro station's down the street
And the darkness, close my eyes
Metro station's down
I don't want to die




Metro station's down
And so will I
