Border line,
Dead inside.
I don't mind,
Falling to pieces.
Count me in, violent
Let's begin, feeding the sickness.
How do I simplify,
Dislocate - the enemy's on the way.
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.
Full of fear,
Ever clear.
I'll be here,
Fighting forever.
Curious,
Venomous,
You'll find me
Climbing to heaven.
Never mind,
Turn back time.
You'll be fine - I will get left behind.
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.
Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.
It only hurts just once.
They're only broken bones.
Hide the hate inside.
Oh.
So I can leave this world behind
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.
Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.
This song is about a war hero, who has fought for as long as he can remember. His whole world has been death, war, and killing. He is haunted by the things he has seen, his dreams are of people (his friends) and how some of them died, he wants to dream in black in white so the pain is dulled. He is so battle hardened, that he has forgotten how to not be a soldier, but he desperately wants to move on from the world of war that he lives in but is afraid that he can’t and thinks that he will be left behind. He also knows that he has done all he needs to do in combat and possibly in life, he thinks death would be better than having to live out his life the way it’s going.
