Description
Relationships are like old film: you watch it, and the faces seem familiar, the intonations are familiar, but the frames are cracked, the colors have faded, and it feels like it all happened with someone else. It used to be hot, almost indecently so - and now cold water and attempts to remember how the hot water was even turned on. Everything here is imbued with a light self-irony and sea salt - as if feelings haven't died, but are simply stuck somewhere between the decks while the ship called "us" drifts in the fog. And it seems scary, but how beautiful this storm sounds.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Peeling back, peeling back all of the layers.
One day, I might like what I see.
As joyous as gruesome behavior is, for now I'll stay lost at sea.
Can you keep me up tonight?
'Cause I'll be damned if my right hand decides.
Back then, we were less of time.
Now it looks like another life I faked it. For a while, I made it.
We used to be X-rated. We used to be close.
Yeah, love is a virus on a cruise ship.
We used to be X-rated, now I just don't know.
I just don't know.
I just don't know.
The water used to run so hot, now it's running cold.
Can you keep me up tonight?
'Cause I'll be damned if my right hand decides.
Back then, we were less of time.
Now it looks like another life I faked it. For a while, I made it.
We used to be X-rated. We used to be close.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, love is a virus on a cruise ship.
We used to be X-rated, now I just don't know.
I just don't know.
I just don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, love is a virus on a cruise ship. We used to be
X-rated, now I just don't know.
The water used to run so hot, now it's running cold. Now it's running cold.
The water used to run so hot, now it's running cold.
