Description
It's as if the conversation begins with a gentle nudge in the side - seemingly insignificant, but it already stings inside. First, a quiet “okay, I'll endure it,” then sudden laughter at what is dear, and then the melody in your head grows quieter and quieter until it turns into silence. And then it gets scary: as if someone invisible has turned the levers, and your own thoughts have stopped listening to you.
Here, romance and poison are in the same glass. A gentle gaze turns out to be snake-like, a soft touch - a noose. The metaphors spin like in a biology textbook: jaws, bones, predatory instinct. But that doesn't make it any less poetic. It's a combination of pain and beauty, where even betrayal sounds musical, and the snake suddenly gains the wings of an angel.

Lyrics and translation
Original
You stepped on my toes
And I stayed quiet
As if I don't mind it
As if I don't know that you get a kick out of seeing me cry
I had a favourite song
And it had violins
Beautiful, timeless
But all you did was laugh and laugh
How did you shame it to silence?
And what did you put in my drink?
Why did I ever stop thinking?
Why did I ever step back?
Why did I let you come closer?
How did you end up on top
Calling the shots
I didn't see your
Angel eyes were
Serpentine
Call a neuroscientist
I just got Judas kissed
I take the fall, bite my lip
Don't wanna say it: narcissist
Used to be so evergreen
How did I not see the fire?
And what did you put in my drink?
Why did I ever stop thinking?
Why did I ever step back?
Why did I let you come closer?
How did you end up on top
Calling the shots
I didn't see your
Angel eyes were
Serpentine
Snakes have skulls with several bones
And a bendable jaw to swallow you whole
Snakes have skulls with several bones
And a bendable jaw to swallow you whole
What did you put in my drink?
Why did I ever stop thinking?
Why did I ever step back?
Why did I let you come closer?
How did you end up on top
Calling the shots
I didn't see your
Angel eyes were
Serpentine
Snakes have skulls with several bones
And a bendable jaw to swallow you whole
Snakes have skulls with several bones
And a bendable jaw to swallow you whole
Call a neuroscientist
I just got judas kissed
Call a neuroscientist
I just got judas kissed
Call a neuroscientist
I just got judas kissed
Call a neuroscientist
