LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION


Please stop

This recurring nightmare every night

Your hand that is just out of reach

Now please tell me

That name that lingers on my lips

The meaning of this sad dream

My heart locked deep within memory's maze

Save me

An eternal dream, the deepest abyss

To the blue secret slumbering within

CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: Blue is often a symbol of loyalty/trust.

Don’t go breaking my heart, don’t go

A shattered world

Inside the forgotten diary of the two

Take me to that secret

When I open my eyes it’s that night

The day when rain blazed alight

Dance that summons a nightmare

Rhythms that endlessly blare

This darkness that swallowed a scream

This widening space between us

Scribbles that unfold before our eyes

Again, I push through the dream

My heart locked deep within memory's maze

Save me

An eternal dream, the deepest abyss

To the blue secret slumbering within

Don’t go breaking my heart, don’t go

A shattered world

Inside the forgotten diary of the two

Take me to that secret

 

I want to end this world

​​

When I open my eyes it’s that night

The day when rain blazed alight

Dance that summons a nightmare

Rhythms that endlessly blare

This darkness that swallowed a scream

This widening space between us

Scribbles that unfold before our eyes

Again, I push through the dream

My heart locked deep within memory's maze

Save me

An eternal dream, the deepest abyss

To the blue secret slumbering within

Don’t go breaking my heart, don’t go

A shattered world

Inside the forgotten diary of the two

Take me to that secret
