Description
It's like a note in a notebook, written after a long sleepless night. There are many ghosts here - past relationships, empty promises, attempts to grab love by the wings while she flips through her phone. And there is a lot of self-irony: comparisons with “food from the trash” sound not like a complaint, but like an honest admission of fatigue from one's own habits.
But along with this, there is light. In the chorus, the night becomes not black, but onyx, and the sky becomes opal. This is music about how, after a storm, the thunder suddenly stops, and amid the ruins of old stories, a calm, almost transparent feeling appears: you no longer need to wait for the sun, you can make it yourself.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I had a bad habit of missing lovers past.
My brother used to call it eating out of the trash, it's never gonna last. I thought my house was haunted,
I used to live with ghosts.
And all the perfect couples said, "When you know, you know, and when you don't, you don't. "
And all of the foes and all of the friends, ha, ha. They've seen it before, they'll see it again, ha, ha.
Life is a song, it ends when it ends, I was wrong.
But my mama told me it's alright, you were dancing through the lightning strikes.
Sleepless in the onyx night, but now the sky is open wide.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh my Lord, never met no one like you before.
You had to make your own sunshine.
But now the sky is open wide.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone.
You were in it for real, she was in her phone. And you were just a post, and don't we try to love, love?
Love, -love. -We give it all we got.
-Give it all we got. -We finally left the table.
Mm, mm.
And what a simple thought, you're starving till you're not.
And all of the foes and all of the friends, ha, ha.
They've messed up before, they'll mess up again, ha, ha.
Life is a song, it ends when it ends, you move on.
And that's when I told you it's alright, you were dancing through the lightning strikes.
Sleepless in the onyx night, but now the sky is open wide.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh my Lord, never met no one like you before.
You had to make your own sunshine.
But now the sky is open wide. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is just a storm inside a teacup.
But shelter here with me, my love.
Thunder like a drum, this life will beat you up.
This is just a temporary speed bump.
But failure brings you freedom, and I can bring you love.
Love.
Love.
-Love. -Don't you sweat it, baby, it's alright.
You were dancing through the lightning strikes.
Oh, so sleepless in the onyx night.
But now the sky is open wide. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh my Lord, never met no one like you before, no.
You had to make your own sunshine.
But now the sky is open wide.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
