Shallow Life

Lacuna Coil Shallow Life Lyrics
1.Survive

Sometimes I feel alone in a million crowd
An outside wandering alone without
Any words to say, they can't explain
The desire to overcome the pain
Feel the breath that's always getting away
Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid

I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, feeling stronger for how much longer?
I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, I survive

A voice inside of me that keeps on teasing
As sweet as like a whisper from the lips of pain
And so many steps that I can't make
I can't take the chance, release the break
And the breath just keeps on getting away
Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid

I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, feeling stronger for how much longer?
I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, I survive

I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, feeling stronger for how much longer?
I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, feeling stronger for how much longer?
I'll survive, in this nothing leading nowhere
I'll survive, I survive


2.I Won't Tell You

I cannot tell you you're falling apart
Open your eyes if you wanna survive
I want to tell you your love is a lie
But I won't tell you, I won't tell you

I can't leave this, I am fine inside it
I don't feel bliss and I just keep hiding
I've been burnt so bad but I still play with fire
Sometimes naked truth is what I don't believe in

I cannot tell you you're falling apart
Open your eyes if you wanna survive
I want to tell you your love is a lie
But I won't tell you, I won't tell you
I cannot get so deep into this now
I can't admit that I kinow what I know
And I want to tell you your love is a lie
I won't tell you, I won't tell you

It's hard to hear through the static again
It's never clear until the rush of pain
I'll never tell you I'm living a lie
In this confusion I feel alive

I've been burnt so bad but I still play with fire
Sometimes naked truth is what I don't believe in

I cannot tell you you're falling apart
Open your eyes if you wanna survive
I want to tell you your love is a lie
But I won't tell you, I won't tell you
I cannot get so deep into this now
I can't admit that I kinow what I know
And I want to tell you your love is a lie
I won't tell you, I won't tell you

Don't ever tell me I'm falling apart
Don't ever tell me I will not survive
Don't ever tell me this love is a lie
'Cause I'm the lie, I'm the liar

I cannot tell you you're falling apart
Open your eyes if you wanna survive
I want to tell you your love is a lie
But I won't tell you, I won't tell you
I cannot get so deep into this now
I can't admit that I kinow what I know
And I want to tell you your love is a lie
I won't tell you, I won't tell you
I won't tell you


3.Not Enough

I don't want to be saved,
I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back
Come back, Come back

I don't want to be saved,
I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back

I thought it was too late
I thought you disappeared
It's been a while since I believed in you

I used to have the strength
I used to just walk away
But now that I see you
It's not enough, it's not enough

I don't want to be saved,
I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back

I'm falling once again
I'm following the way
Nothing changed since I believed in you

I knew that it would come
I thought that I'd be afraid
But now that I have you
It's not enough, it's not enough

I don't want to be saved,
I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back

Forgotten fears
I'd throw away all the caution out unto the wind
My soul is thirsty, and I'm still dreaming of you
Get out of my mind

Come back (Get out of my mind)
Come back (Get out of my mind)

I don't want to be saved,
I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back

I don't want to be saved,
I wanna give into you
Together we will find a way to come back


4.I'm Not Afraid

watch your back because i am coming closer
shivers down your spine
you were not expecting me
how does it feel to be faced in your territory
are you afraid to see me here

im not afraid
(to take me time to live my life the way i want to)
im not afraid
(to take you down and live my life as i want to)
im not afraid

closer but apart
no one else can hear us
get out of the car
did you want to leave with out me
how does it feel to be faced in your territory
are you surprised to see here

im not afraid
(to take me time to live my life the way i want to)
im not afraid
(to take you down and live my life as i want to)
im not afraid

uh-oh (repeat)

im not afraid
(to take me time to live my life the way i want to)
im not afraid
(to take you down and live my life as i want to)
im not afraid
(to take me time to live my life the way i want to)
im not afraid
(to take you down and live my life as i want to)
im not afraid


5.I Like It

Everything is different today
I like it, like it
I fell very different today
I like it, like it

I'm not gonna be in your parade
'Cause I don't like it
You think I'm a dirty little game
You think I like it
You made up this fantasy with me
But I don't like it
I want you to get away with me
That's how I like it
How do you like it?

Today I'm gonna fly
There's nothing that can keep me on the ground
Touch the sky
I'm free indide

You think you're the master, I'm the slave
You think I like it
You don't even know me anyway
That's how I like it
I'm getting ready to move on
But you don't like it
You can kiss your fairy tale away
I like it, like it
How do you like it?

Today I'm gonna fly
There's nothing that can keep me on the ground
Touch the sky
I'm free indide
Today I'm gonna fly
There's nothing that can keep me on the ground
Touch the sky
I'm free indide

I'm free to do what I like
I'm celebrating my life
I'm free to be what I like
I'm celebrating my life
I'm gonna get what I like
I'm gonna celebrate 'till I die
I'm celebrating my life

Today I'm gonna fly
There's nothing that can keep me on the ground
Touch the sky
I'm free indide
Today I'm gonna fly
There's nothing that can keep me on the ground
Touch the sky
I'm free indide

I'm free to do what I like
I'm celebrating my life
I'm free to be what I like
I'm celebrating my life


6.Underdog

You are going down
You are going down
You are going down
Down

At the bottom I have found
I cannot wait to get back in the fight

And send you straight to the ground
Hide and seek
When I'm on the ropes
You wanna knock me down, knock me out
Your cheap shots are denied

You're going down
You can't kill my soul and kill me dream
Back down

You are going down
You are going down
You are going down

Now
You will understand me now
You don't want to come back to the fight
I've been the underdog all my life
I can feel it
I will not stop until I see you down
On the ground
Cause I am still alive

You're going down
You can't kill my soul and kill me dream
Back down
You can't kill my soul and kill me dream
You can't kill my soul and kill me dream


7.The Pain

I wake up to a smoking gun
The evidence is in your head
There's no proof of guilt or innocence
I'm finished with you taking me through
A line of questioning that feeds you
I'm must confess I'm here to kill the pain

To kill the pain
To kill the pain
To kill the pain
To kill the pain

What can I do?
To kill the pain
How hard I fight?
To kill the pain
No matter how
To kill the pain
How long I've tried

The sword of justice in your hand
You cut me down, sharp like a blade
You make me want to never trust again
I'm finished with you draging me through
More lies and deceipt that feeds you
I'm must confess I'm here to kill the pain

To kill the pain
To kill the pain
To kill the pain
To kill the pain

What can I do?
To kill the pain
How hard I fight?
To kill the pain
No matter how
To kill the pain
How long I've tried
What can I do?
To kill the pain
How hard I fight?
To kill the pain
No matter how
To kill the pain
How long I've tried

Doesn't matter, if it mattered I would never have tried
To save us both from losing our minds
Doesn't matter if you shatter me now
I have to get away
The rain comes, the rain comes
Nothing's gonna buy you time
The rain comes, the rain comes
You know it's gonna come

What can I do?
To kill the pain
How hard I fight?
To kill the pain
No matter how
To kill the pain
How long I've tried
What can I do?
To kill the pain
How hard I fight?
No matter how
How long I've tried


8.Spellbound

Burning here
In my room
Feeling bad
The walls are moving closer
Silencing, the darkness me
Leads me to
The ending of another day
A mourn day

Tell me who you are
I am spellbound
You cannot have this control on me
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
I will break the spell you put on me

Velvet trees
Glowing candles
Silent whispers
Of voices inside of my head
The night that calls
It waits for me
Leads me to
The ending of another day
A mourn day

Tell me who you are
I am spellbound
You cannot have this control on me
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
I will break this spell you put on me

Break the spell.

Tell me who you are
I am spellbound
You cannot have this control on me
Everywhere I go
I am spellbound
I will break this spell you put on me

Everywhere I go, I am spellbound (x3)
I will break the spell you put on me


9.Wide Awake

The rebel inside
A mind of my own
I haven't felt right
Since the moment that I gave up.

I challenge my limits
I'm feeling I'm becoming meaningless
I take it all in
And inhale.

I'm wide awake
Open my eyes
And the sky's so blue
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
I find myself
Wide awake
Like you...

The struggle within
Now I understand
Freedom begins
When you get out of the cage
You've built.

It looks like I'm crazy
But I'm not the only one
To believe in myself
Believe in myself
I won't be coming undone
Cause I feel like...

I'm wide awake
Open my eyes
And the sky's so blue
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
I find myself
Wide awake
Like you...

I'm wide awake
I open my eyes
And the sky's so blue
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
Like you...


10.The Maze

My thoughs can be so vicious
Committed to a plan
The fear becomes ambitious
Taking me till I am gone

I don't know how it starded
Beating up myself
I've come to realize
I barely carry on each day
This life is so destructive
It's blowing out my mind
My breath is running short
I'm lost here (deep inside, deep inside)

In this maze
I'm running through the halls of emptiness
In this maze
I can't find the way to get back to the end
In this maze
I'm feeling like I'm stuck inside a cage
In this maze
I won't feel the breeze 'till I break this maze and run

I don't know how it starded
Thinking to myself
I've come to realize
I couldn't carry on each day
This vibe is so destructive
I'm smoking up my mind
So by the time she left
I was lost here (deep inside, deep inside)

In this maze
I'm running through the halls of emptiness
In this maze
I can't find the way to get back to the end
In this maze
I'm feeling like I'm stuck inside a cage
In this maze
I won't feel the breeze 'till I break this maze and run

Will I ever see the sun
Shining through the prison clouds?
In the darkness you can hide
Go inside, free your mind

In this maze
I'm running through the halls of emptiness
In this maze
I can't find the way to get back to the end
In this maze
I'm feeling like I'm stuck inside a cage
In this maze
I can't find the way to get back to the end
In this maze
I can't find the way to get back to the end
In this maze
I won't feel the breeze 'till I break this maze
Break this maze and run


11.Unchained

Unchained
Unchained
Unchained
Unchained

There's nothing up ahead or down the road
The streets won't last forever
There's nothing left to loose
I cannot see myself inside this dream
I know nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

Unchained
I'm like a bullet set free now
Unchained
I'm like a weapon unleased now

Now I found my way to solid ground
I left behind the feeling
That I've been a fool
I feel much stronger now, I am not the same
You know nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

Unchained
I'm like a bullet set free now
Unchained
I'm like a weapon unleased now
Unchained
I'm like a bullet set free now
Unchained
I'm like a weapon unleased now

Unchained
Unchained
Unchained
Unchained


12.Shallow Life

(I never thought I'd be a soldier
I take my place inside the battle
I've come to realize the journey is over
Realize that life is sober)

Everyday I'm like a soldier
Waking up within the battle
And through the haze I live a dream that's better
Than What I feel inside, diggin' in me

Suffering darkness in my eyes against the light of Rome
I see the reflection of the ghost that I've become
Waiting behind the windows, I resign to be alone
I want to feel alone and lost in this solitude

Shallow life
I'll stay close to the ground
Shallow life
The walls keep falling down
I close my eyes
I'll find my way around
In the shallow life

(Welcome to the bottom line)
Suffering darkness in my eyes against the night of Rome
I get confused and all I hear is just myself
I will resign and search for peace of mind, I'm on my own
I need to be alone and lost in this solitude

Shallow life
I'll stay close to the ground
Shallow life
The walls keep falling down
I close my eyes
I'll find my way around
In the shallow life

The walls keep falling
Shallow life
I'll stay close to the ground
Shallow life
The walls keep falling down
I close my eyes
I'll find my way around
In the shallow life
Shallow life
(Welcome to the bottom line)
