Description
It's as if someone is reaching out through the icy air, promising that even at the coldest heights there is a meeting point. There is a harshness in the words, almost a challenge: “you may not catch up, but you will always find it.” And yet, behind this firmness, there is warmth - the very “heat” that breaks through the frost, like coals in the snow. The song sounds like a dialogue between strength and vulnerability: it's hard to take a step forward, but somewhere up there, someone is already waiting to share their breath and fire.
Lyrics and translation
Original
You may not be as strong as me
And I may not care to teach you
It may be hard to keep up with me
I'll always be able to reach you
And if you go forward (you go forward), I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you, search out above
Cry out to life for a frozen love
Cry, love
Life gave me you, the change was made
There's no beginning over
You are not happy, but what is love?
Hate gave you me for a lover
And if you go forward (you go forward), I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you, search out above
Cry out to life for a frozen love
Cry, love
You may not be (may not be) as strong as me (strong as me)
And I may not care (may not care) to teach you (teach you)
It may be hard (may be hard) to keep up with me (keep up with me)
I'll always, yes, I'll always going to be able to reach you
And if you go forward (you go forward), I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you, search out above
Cry out to life for a frozen love
Cry, love
