Description
Once upon a time, the world seemed like a swamp - sticky, hopeless, where every day dragged on like a three-act drama without intermissions. And then suddenly - a flash. Someone turned on a spotlight right into the fog: not a savior, not a prince, but rather an arsonist who was simply bored of watching the darkness. And in this fire, it suddenly became warm.
Rising from the ashes is not a fairy-tale heroine, but a woman tired of drowning in her own head. Her tower, it turns out, is not a prison, but a good vantage point. From above, you can see that it is possible to live, burn, make mistakes, and even love without turning into a tragic Ophelia. Just hold someone's hands, where instead of a crown there is ashes, instead of salvation there is a spark.
A song about those who are pulled out not for happiness, but so that they want to breathe again. Loudly, sleeplessly, with a spark that is no longer scary to touch.
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.
