Description
It's like a gothic novel that has escaped from the bookshelf into a neon-lit club. Towers and chains become metaphors for loneliness, and salvation comes not from a prince on a white horse, but from a figure with fire in his hands, ready to set the darkness ablaze. This is a story about how a dead heart suddenly begins to beat when someone decides to pull it out of the depths where it has been drowning for too long.
The rhythm conveys both drama and defiance: a slightly dark fairy tale, a soundtrack to a sleepless night, where Ophelia is no longer a tragic heroine, but a symbol of a breakthrough - from icy silence to a bright, dangerous, and lively world.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I heard you calling on the megaphone.
You wanna see me all alone.
As legend has it you are quite the pyro. You light the match to watch it blow.
And if you'd never come for me,
I might have drowned in the melancholy.
I swore my loyalty to me, myself, and I. Right before you lit my sky up.
All that time I spent alone in my tower, you were just honing your powers.
Now I can see it all. See it all.
In fate one night, you dug me out of my grave and saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia.
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky.
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes. Who care where the hell you've been 'cause now you're mine.
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of.
The fate of Ophelia.
The eldest daughter of a nobleman, Ophelia lived in fantasy.
But love was a cold bed full of scorpions.
The venom stole her sanity.
And if you'd never come for me,
I might have lingered in purgatory.
You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine, pulling me into the fire.
All that time I spent alone in my tower, you were just honing your powers.
Now I can see it all.
See it all.
In fate one night, you dug me out of my grave and saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia.
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky.
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes. Who care where the hell you've been 'cause now you're mine.
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of. The fate of
Ophelia. 'Tis locked inside my memory and only you possess the key.
No longer drowning and deceived, all because you came for me.
Locked inside my memory and only you possess the key.
No longer drowning and deceived, all because you came for me.
All that time I spent alone in my tower, you were just honing your powers.
Now I can see it all. I can see it all.
In fate one night, you dug me out of my grave and saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia.
Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky.
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes. Who care where the hell you've been 'cause now you're mine.
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of. The fate of
Ophelia.
You saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia.
