Description
Shining brighter than the sun - a technicolor mood lamp that makes you want to move, even if your legs resist.
In the corner until dawn - that's where both embarrassment and hope hide: twisting your T-shirt, biting your nails, imagining someone so you don't go crazy from the emptiness.
The music winks with the promise of closeness, and your body pulls you home - a strange, gentle retribution for trying to be “like everyone else.”
The warm beat is like a consolation and a little lie: it seems like fun all around, but inside there is a quiet, very personal confusion. 😊

Lyrics and translation
Original
You are brighter than the sun, a technicolor beacon.
I want you to think I'm fun, someone that you could sleep with.
All the lights have made me dumb, but I've still got this beating.
Slowly, surely, hopefully, open.
I just wanna dance, I just wanna move. I just wanna get a little closer to you. But
I just woke up and it's a quarter to two.
I don't have the energy to put on my shoes. I don't wanna cry, I don't have a clue.
Why I'm missing every point and seeing through. 'Cause I just wanna dance, I just wanna move.
I just wanna feel like all the others do. Oh, oh, oh. All night, I'm in the corner till daylight.
Baby, move closer. Maybe I wanted obsession.
But maybe it's punch drunk love and depression. I,
I would rather be home, but baby, we could go there alone.
But maybe I'm needing affection. But maybe it's punch drunk love and depression.
I keep picking at my nails and pulling on my T-shirt.
I'll imagine you and pull it off to fulfill the urge.
All my friends think I'm a burden, least that's what my brain hears. Slowly, surely, won't be giving.
I just wanna dance, I just wanna move. I just wanna get a little closer to you. But
I just woke up and it's half past two. I just wanna feel like all the others do.
Oh, oh, oh. All night, I'm in the corner till daylight. Baby, move closer.
Maybe I wanted obsession. But maybe it's punch drunk love and depression. I,
I would rather be home, but baby, we could go there alone.
But maybe I'm needing affection. But maybe it's punch drunk love and depression.
I.
Maybe it's punch drunk love and depression.
I.
I just wanna dance, I just wanna move. I just wanna feel like I'm somebody to you.
I just wanna laugh, I don't wanna lose. I just wanna feel like all the others do.
Oh, oh, oh. All night, I'm in the corner till daylight. Baby, move closer.
Maybe I wanted obsession. But maybe it's punch drunk love and depression. I,
I would rather be home, but baby, we could go there alone.
But maybe I'm needing affection. But maybe it's punch drunk love and depression. I.
Maybe it's punch drunk love and depression.
I.
No, no. Maybe it's punch drunk love and depression. I.
