Description
Sometimes it seems that life is an endless party in the pouring rain. You dance, squint at the flashes of lightning, and it seems scary, but beautiful. All those ghosts from the past, advice like “when you know, you know,” and your own mistakes are just noise that fades away when you finally realize that not everything you lost was yours.
There is light after the storm in this track - milky, almost glassy. When your heart, tired of storms, suddenly finds quiet confidence in the simple “everything will be okay.” You no longer need to search for the sun - you can make your own. And even if the neon sky is no longer as black as before, it reflects someone who has finally stopped feeding on memories and chosen to live.
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
Have seen it before, they'll see it again
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 opalite
Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord
Never made no one like you before
You had to make your own sunshine
But now the sky is opalite
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 pose
And don't we try to love love
We give it all we got (we give it all we got)
You finally left the table
And what a simple thought
You're starving til you're not
And all of the foes and all of the friends
Have messed up before, they'll mess up again
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 opalite
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 opalite
Oh 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, up, up, up
This is just a temporary speed bump
But failure brings you freedom
And I can bring you love, love, love, love, love
Don't you sweat it, baby
It's alright
You were dancing through the lightning strikes
Sleepless in the onyx night
But now the sky is opalite
Oh oh oh oh, oh my Lord
Never made no one like you before, no
You had to make your own sunshine
But now the sky is opalite
Oh oh oh oh oh
