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
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
