Dia advises her current self to not to look away from her younger self, because her younger self will always be there when she needs...
[Verse 1]
As the world spins to the abyss
As we crumble, I'll take the hit
So full of sadness
Your suffocation is done
[Verse 2]
In a blinded panic
Not sure where to run
I hope I will illuminate
[Pre-Chorus]
Pushed underwater
Confront the monster
[Chorus]
Don't you dare look away
I am here as we go to the other side
I'll keep you close to the light
Don't you dare take your eyes off of mine
There were cracks that I didn't see
In the ground that was holding me
As we are swallowed by night
Don't you dare take your eyes off of mine
[Verse 3]
Hurt my body
I cursed my own
When you said you need me
I was exposed
[Pre-Chorus]
I love you dearly
[Chorus]
Don't you dare look away
I am here as we go to the other side
I'll keep you close to the light
Don't you dare take your eyes off of mine
There were cracks that I didn't see
In the ground that was holding me
As we are swallowed by night
Don't you dare take your eyes off of mine
[Outro]
Don't you dare look away
I'll keep you close to the light
Oh, don't you dare look away
I'll keep you close to the light
To the light
