Description

Everything around seems to have blurred a little - sounds, thoughts, even the air trembles like a reflection in a puddle after rain. Every word in this song is not so much sung as exhaled, like a confession that has been on the tip of your tongue for a long time, but the stubborn “later” prevented you from saying it. The melody hovers somewhere between sadness and tenderness, the kind that appears when you know that love is still there, but it can no longer save you.

All these “what shall we do” sound not like a question, but like a weary understanding that, most likely, nothing. Just to be silent together for a while, until the heart cools down and the echo fades away. There is a beauty in this - quiet, mature, mixed with sleepless longing and a strange calmness. As if the night had decided not to end, so that no one would have to decide anything.

Lyrics and translation

Original

I lost my leg like I lost my way

So no loose ends

Nothing to see me down

How are we going to work this out?

Dreams aren't bad, our heads are mad

I love the girl

But God only knows it's

Getting hard to see the sun coming through

I love you

But what are we going to do?

Picture on the dreamer

I'll take you deeper

Down to the sleepy glow

Time is a low

Don't you know

What are we going to do?

When you go back

All the second selfless days

You're in love with him

I want to see you again

I love you

But what are we going to do?
