Description
Sometimes the fall doesn't come with a bang, but quietly - like an old friend who has the keys to all the doors. Everything seems to be under control: vows have been made, conclusions have been drawn, life is going according to plan. But blink, and suddenly you've taken a step to the side, one weak “okay, just today”... and everything goes round and round again.
Here you can hear fatigue, reconciled with itself, and sadness, disguised as a beat. It's as if the sins of the past have come out onto the dance floor - beautiful, brazen, painfully familiar. All this is not about weakness, but about humanity: sometimes you need to stumble again to remember where you don't want to return.
Lyrics and translation
Original
So, here I am once again, feel no good
I must be out of excuses, knew I would
Feels like it came out of nowhere this time
Wish I had someone else to blame
I tell myself I'm only human
I know I, I said never again
Temptation, feels like it never ends
I'm sliding, powerless as I descend
Back into my old ways again (ways again)
Back into my old ways again
Back into my old ways again
Back into my old ways again
Back into my old ways again (ways again)
Thought I would never go back, but just this once
A little present for holding out so long
I could not bear the thought of it two days ago
Don't think I would forgive myself
I tell myself I'm only human
I know I, I said never again
Temptation, feels like it never ends
I'm sliding, only notice it now and then
Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
Back into my old ways again
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Ego's strumming, should be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Story swapping, downhill sloping
Barely coping
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Ego's strumming, should be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Story swapping, downhill sloping
Barely coping
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Ego's strumming, should be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Story swapping, downhill sloping
Barely coping, I (ways again)
I know I, I said never again
Temptation feels like it never ends
I'm sliding, powerless as I descend
Back into my old ways again
Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
Back into my old ways again
Back into my old ways again (ways again)
