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)
