In Flames - Take This Life Lyrics






It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And curse my fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely
The echo calls my name

[Pre Chorus:]
If I ever, If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see. Make me be
Make me understand you're there for me

[Chorus:]
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in

The rain drops just beg to hit me
What now? Hasn't rained for days
No time to play hide-and-seek
I call on you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Burn all my efforts
In the end it means nothing

[Pre Chorus]

[Chorus]

[x2]
These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts, will keep me free and

[Pre Chorus]

[Chorus]

    Thank You In Flames for making this song, because once it hit my ears, the metal scene opened up to me.

    If you're here right now, reading this and thinking about checking out, this is for you. Please stick around. The world needs you. Stay a while.

  4. s.... v....

    "I scream to hide that I'm lonely
    The echo calls my name" - is what he sings, now skip to the end of the song 3.30 where he screams and you will hear an echo, his name is Anders and im pretty sure it echoes his name. what do you think? I think thats fucking amazing little easter egg in there that im sure im the only one to notice it.

  5. Y.... D....

    pop- for girls. Music like a shit

  6. R.... C....

    remembering beautiful times

  7. M.... H....

    THIS CHORUS IS NOSTALGIC FOR ME

  8. T.... M....

    All 15 kbps

  9. C.... G....

    "These thots, burn a hole in my wallet"

  10. D.... ....

    0:23 - 0:39 is actually a rip-off of Lambada.

Fuckin SWEET concert, but I do wish In Flames was there. If they are touring with them now then I feel robbed lol.... Of Mice & Men are a new favorite of mine now though to.

  86. D.... T....

    Take this life!!!! AWESOME

  87. N.... F....

    2006 was a good year for metal. In Flames, Unearth, Bleeding Through, All That Remains, As I Lay Dying. that was an awesome year. I got to see As I Lay Dying and In Flames on the 2006 Sounds of the Underground concert with GWAR. Too bad the SOTUG tour is no more after 2007. I would've still been going to the concerts.

    N.... F....

    Bunch of skinny jeans wearing queers... All Them Bands are shit metal

    N.... F....

    i was at the 06 Sounds show as well, at the Guvernment/Kool Hause in Toronto, sick show, but had to rush security to see Gwar right after Cannibal corpse.

    N.... F....

    saw them on tour for this album with devildriver and trivium

    N.... F....

    I saw them on a festival this summer. They where actually ok when they played their older songs, but as soon as they started with their newer stuff the concert just turned into a huge shitshow, and I even saw alot of people just leave the concert area.

    N.... F....

    They're going on tour with All That Remains this year, you're welcome

  88. T.... N....

    dont like new in flames
    sounds generic to me

    T.... N....

    this is way better than sounds of a playground fading, even though there is a couple songs i dont mind from that one.. too bad jesper left and their bassist and drummer, sad times

  89. J.... V....

    I miss you IN FLAMES  xC

  90. F.... ....

    Back when Bjorn had hair!

  91. W.... L....
