Description
A subtle alarm in the diary: the eyes remember something, but the memory does not.
The past stirs at the edge of consciousness, as if someone is whispering, “Don't let go,” and then immediately asking aloud, “Who wants to live forever anyway?” 🤔
Music is like a late phone call - both a request and a confession: hold on, don't go, we only had time. There is tenderness in this, and slight panic, and a strange hope that after the next chord there will be a way to stay a little better than before.
The song is like a window through which you look at the dawn after a sleepless night: it's cold, but you can see the warmth. A little irony about eternity and a lot of warmth for those who are still holding on to the horizon. ❤️
Lyrics and translation
Original
I can't remember why.
Something in my eye.
Something in the way it feels here.
Something to believe.
What I used to be.
I just don't know anymore.
I just don't know anymore.
I saw it on your face.
We all know our place.
I don't wanna be here anymore.
Please hold onto me.
All of us are here to die.
Stay here inside me.
All we ever had was time.
Voices calling.
Some place I could never go.
Oh, I wish I didn't know.
If I could stay here.
I could find a way somehow.
Think I would remember now.
Please hold onto me.
All of us are here to die.
Stay here inside me.
All we ever had was time.
Who wants to live forever?
-Who wants to live forever?
-I might just fade away.
-Who wants to live forever?
-I might just fade away.
Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
