Description
You can disappear quietly around the bend, as if dissolving into the morning air, leaving behind only one question: will you return, or was it forever? In the song, this disappearance turns into an obsession - the search continues everywhere: behind the clouds, among the stars, even in the smoke-filled corner of a roadside bar.
It sounds like an attempt to grasp a mirage when reality collapses into nothingness. Laughter through tears, deals with one's own demons, and a stubborn “I'll find you anyway.” Because sometimes love is not tenderness, but a stubborn pursuit of someone who has learned to run away too skillfully.
Lyrics and translation
Original
When, you began your drifting in the wind
Disappearing up around the bend
Then you were gone
Faded to the dawn
Were you gonna stay?
Or were you gonna come back ’round my way?
To break my mind this time would be a shame
Without you I would slowly go insane
And you recall, that’s when I hit the wall
But I don’t care how far
Gonna look for where you are
Behind the clouds
Beyond the stars
Above the crowds
In some lonely bar
I’ll meet you there
I swear I will
Because I care
And I got to kill
Please stop running
I’m back down to nothing
To nothing
To nothing
I still feel you when I close my eyes at night
Dealing with the devil I just might
Do something bad, I’m crying when I laugh
I’m tryin’ to believe
That one day we will meet
Behind the clouds
Beyond the stars
Above the crowds
In some lonely bar
I’ll meet you there
I swear I will
Because I care
And I got to kill
Please stop running
I’m back down to nothing
To nothing
To nothing
I’m back down to nothing
To nothing
To nothing
I’m back down to nothing
To nothing
To nothing
To nothing
I’m down to nothing
