Meteora Lyrics
Foreword
(Instrumental)
Don't Stay
Sometimes I
Need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I
Need you to stay away from me
Sometimes i'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need you to go
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay
Sometimes I
Feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I
Just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes i'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need to be alone
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay (Stay, stay, stay)
I don't need you, anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one, more day
If you wasting me away
I don't need you, anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one, more day
Of you're wasting me away
With no apologies
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay,
Don't stay,
Don't stay
Somewhere I Belong
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That i'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that i've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like i'm close to something real
I wanna find something i've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And i've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like i'm close to something real
I wanna find something i've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be,
Anything till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like i'm close to something real
I wanna find something i've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I am somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I am somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
Lying From You
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but
I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay i'm just
(Trying to bend the truth)
I can't pretend i'm who you want me to be, so i'm
(Lying my way from you)
No, no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No, no turning back now
(Let me take back my life, i'd rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cause I can see)
No, no turning back now
(The very worst part of you is me)
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin in
And now you think this person really is me and i'm
(Trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push the more i'm pulling away cause i'm
(Lying my way from you)
No, no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No, no turning back now
(Let me take back my life, i'd rather be all alone)
No, turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cause I can see)
No, no turning back now
(The very worst part of you,
The very worst part of you is me)
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me
Like this,
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me
Like this,
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me
Like this,
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me
Like this
(You)
No turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No, no turning back now
(Let me take back my life i'd rather be all alone)
No, turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cause I can see)
No, no turning back now
(The very worst part of you,
The very worst part of you is me)
Hit The Floor
There are just too many
Times that people
Have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
And I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that i've
Held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many
Things that you've said about me
When i'm not around
You think having the upper hand
Means you've got to keep putting me down
But i've had too many stand-offs with you
It’s about as much as I can stand
Just wait until the upper hand
Is mine
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won
And then it's all gone
So many people like me
Put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned with what you think
To just say what we feel inside
So many people like me
Walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want
Is to feel like i'm not stepped on
There are so many things you say
That make me feel like you've crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall
And i'm counting down the time
Cause i've had so many stand-offs with you
It’s about as much as I can stand
So i'm waiting until the upper hand
Is mine
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won
And then it's all gone,
And then it's all gone,
And then it's all gone,
And then it's all gone,
Now it's all gone
I know i'll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us
But you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating
Up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won
And then it's all gone,
And then it's all gone,
And then it's all gone,
And then it's all gone,
Now it's all gone
Easier To Run
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret i've kept locked away
No one can ever see,
Wounds so deep, they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up, and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have,
Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
I'm never moving forward so
There'll never be a past
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up, and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler, than change,
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run,
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made
It's easier to go,
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up, and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame, to the grave
Faint
I am, a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am, what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you to just believe this is real
So, I let go watchin you, turn your back
Like you always do, face away and pretend that i'm not
But i'll be here cause you are all that i've got
I can't feel the way I did before, don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored, time won't heal, this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand, I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never want to say but i've never
Had a doubt, it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So, I let go watchin you, turn your back
Like you always do, face away and pretend that i'm not
But i'll be here cause you are all that i've got
I can't feel the way I did before, don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored, time won't heal, this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
No, hear me out now, you're gonna listen to me
Like it or not, right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not, right now
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
I can't feel the way I did before, don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored, time won't heal, this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
I can't feel, don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal, don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Figure.09
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
Cause from the infinite words I could say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away, never goes away)
And now,
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what i've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you (You, you)
Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening
I see you in every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing myself to them and everyday
I regret saying those things cause now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away, never goes away)
And now,
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what i've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you
(Never goes away, never goes away,
Never goes away, never goes away)
(Get away from me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go) everything comes down the memories of
(You) i've kept it in but now I'm letting you
(Know) I let you go so get away from
(Me) give me my space back you gotta just
(Go) everything comes down the memories of
(You) i've kept it but now i'm letting you
(Know) I let you go
And now,
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what i've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you,
I've let myself become you,
I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you,
Giving up a part of me, i've let myself become you
Breaking The Habit
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That i'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So i'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit, tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That i'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So i'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit, tonight
I'll paint it on the walls,
Cause i'm the one at fault,
I'll never fight again,
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So i'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit, tonight
From The Inside
I don't know who to trust, no surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts sift through dust, and the lies
(Trying not to break but i'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)
Take, everything, from the inside and throw it all away,
Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you
Tension is building inside, steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me
(Trying not to break but i'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)
Take, everything, from the inside and throw it all away,
Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you,
You, you
Waste myself on you,
You, you
I'll, take everything, from the inside and throw it all away,
Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you,
Everything, from the inside and just throw it all away
Cause I swear, for the last time I won't trust myself with you
You, you
Nobody's Listening
Come, come, come, come
Coming at you
Come, coming at you
Come, coming at you yo
Peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is
How could you ignore it
We drop right back in the cut
Over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like
(Rewind that)
We're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten
But still unforgiven
But in the meantime there are those who wanna
Talk this and that
So I suppose it gets to a point feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
(It goes)
Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
I got a
Heart full of pain
Head full of stress
Handful of anger
Held in my chest
And everything left is a waste of time
I hate my rhymes
(But hate everyone else's more)
I'm riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it's better
I can't keep myself together
Because all of this stress
Gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something
I could set my sights on
You never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years
The fear and trash talking
And the people it was to
And the people that started it
Just like you
Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
I got a
Heart full of pain
Head full of stress
Handful of anger
Held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood, sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
Head full of stress
Handful of anger
Held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood, sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
I got a
Heart full of pain
Head full of stress
(Nobody's listening)
Handful of anger
Held in my chest
(Nobody's listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood, sweat and tears
(Nobody's listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody's listening)
Come, come, come, come
Coming at you
Come, coming at you
Come, coming at you
Come, coming at you
(Coming at you from every side)
Session
(Instrumental)
Numb
Tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take, is another, mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take, is another, mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste, is more than I can take
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know, I may end up, failing, too
But I know, you were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(Tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(Tired of being what you want me to be)
