Description
A love that makes your chest ache, as if you can only breathe halfway. Everything seems beautiful: the pool, laughter, bare skin, and summer heat, but the hum of a train is constantly heard between the lines. The same one from "Anna Karenina," when you realize that passion isn't about happiness, it's about inevitability. From the outside, everything seems easy and cinematic, but inside it's thick, airless. Where "we" should be a comfort, it becomes a cage. And no one promised anything, they just didn't say anything. No one is going anywhere, and no one is coming. But now it's too late - the locks have clicked, and not even love can set you free.

Lyrics and translation
Original
I never told you where I was going.
I never told you what I was doing.
I never told you any of my secrets really.
I never told you who it was I was sometimes.
I never told you who came by.
I never told you.
Walking on suicide dreams.
You knew that I was all yours.
You got me now.
I'm all yours.
But I got you and you won't get free.
You'll never get free.
There's no place left for you to go.
I cried at the end of Anna Karenina when she threw herself under the train.
I cried at the end of Anna Karenina when she threw herself under the train.
Laughing as you take your shirt off and you take your skirt off and you jump into the swimming pool.
I feel the world is on fire as you come in on top of me and the lights are off inside the house.
It was a deep and painful love
I felt for you.
It was a deep and painful love that I felt for you.
And I'll never get free.
I'll never be free.
I cried at the end of Anna Karenina when she threw herself under the train.
I cried at the end of Anna Karenina when she threw herself under the train
