About

This song has a much deeper and darker meaning than what it looks like.
The song appears to be about the effect of human frailty on a person’s view of themselves, at birth we are new to the world, free of any outside influence, from that moment onwards our lives, our personalities are moulded and di...

Citizen Erased Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Break me in
Teach us to cheat
And to lie, and cover up
What shouldn't be shared

[Pre-Chorus]
And the truth's unwinding, scraping away
At my mind, please stop asking me to describe

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Verse 2]
Self-expressed
Exhausting for all
To see and to be
What you want and what you need

[Pre-Chorus]
And the truth's unwinding, scraping away
At my mind, please stop asking me to describe

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage with no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They'll only bring us pain
And I've seen all I'll ever need
