Heavy Cross Lyrics

ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh
ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh

It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own,
A heavy cross, to carry alone,
The lights are on, but everyone's gone,
And it's cruel

It's a funny way, to make ends meet,
when the lights are out on every street,
It feels alright, but never complete,
without you,

I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
All the rainy nights, even the coldest days,
you're moments ago, but seconds away,
The principal of nature, it's true but, it's a cruel world,

ooooh oooh oohh, ooh ooh oooh ooh, ooo wooah

We can play it safe, or play it cool,
follow the leader, or make up all the rules,
whatever you want, the choice is yours,
So choose,

I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,

ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye oh oh,
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I trust you, it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,

ei ei ei, woah wo, yeah eh
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye oh oh,
ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I trust you.

I was a little bit confused when I read the lyric here. Because this is the lyric I know and it is from the booklet form the CD.

ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh

to me it's about a relationship, about facing together the "cruel world".

I think that she is talking about the pressure of society that only accept pretty people...I like this band a lot, Miss Ditto is so talented!

Awesome song. I actually thought it's about prostitution... maybe it's just me...

I agree I definetly think its about prostitution.. I really think that because of the lines that say

It's a funny way, to make ends meet when the lights are out on every street It feels alright, but never complete

I think the first line is talking about prostitution, and the second line is at night walking the streets, and the third line is talking about the sex.

But I think it could maybe maybe mean in this line It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own, A heavy cross, to carry along The lights are on, but everyone's gone And it's...

Good points you two. This definitely sounds like working to me. "The principal of nature, it's true but it's a cruel world" The basic principal of nature is sex. Not to mention all the lines you already explained. It seems like the kind of topic you'd only pick up on it if you have knowledge of it.

I think it's possibly about her relationship with a boyfriend.

"It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own, A heavy cross, to carry along The lights are on, but everyone's gone And it's cruel"

She could be talking about being abandoned by everyone, and how she's alone and being overwhelmed.

"It takes two, It's up to me and you, to prove it, On the rainy nights, even the coldest days, You're moments ago, but seconds away"

Talking about a boyfriend she probably isn't over yet, their relationship just ended, but she thinks he's in her future as well.

she's a lesbian!!

The very first time this song came on the radio, and I heard the first line...

It's a cool cool way, to feast on your arm!

I was like "LOL, WHAT THE F***!" XD

-- Yeah, I had to come here just now to check what it really said; just thought i'd throw in this little comment while i'm here. xD

Haha! That's totally what it sounds like.

Love this song!
