Lyrics & Translation

[English]
I'm on a road lit with red lights
I've spent countless long nights
Words that cut like knives
I know, I know they're going to
Say whatever they want
I know they're going to
Say what they want, yeah (want, want)
But I can feel it changing
I can taste it, I'm riding the wave and
I won't waste it
I've been patient
But I'm not waiting any longer
Not any longer, no
I'm going to dance on broken glass, hey
On broken glass
And I'm going to make that ceiling crash, ah
That ceiling crashing
So what? Still have knives in my back
So what? I'm tied to the tracks, yeah
I'm going to dance on broken glass
And here I go, here I go, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Yeah, here I go, here I go
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Yeah, here I go, here I go
So I bet on myself and my own heartbeat
When all the odds pile up
Like bricks around my feet
You know, it's more than
More than just for me
You know it's worth it
I still believe, yeah yeah
I'm going to dance on broken glass, hey
On broken glass
And I'm going to make that ceiling crash, ah
That ceiling crashing
So what? Still have knives in my back
So what? I'm tied to the tracks, yeah
I'm going to dance on broken glass
And here I go, here I go
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Yeah, here I go, here I go
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
And here I go, here I go
Through to the other side, baby, I'll survive (oh oh)
Cause you know I'm a fighter (oh oh oh)
Through to the other side, baby, I'm on fire (oh oh)
Cause you know I'm a survivor (oh oh oh)
Through to the other side, baby, I'll survive (oh oh)
Cause you know I'm a fighter (oh oh oh)
Through to the other side, baby, I'm on fire (on fire, fire)
Wooh
I'm going to dance on broken glass, hey
On broken glass
And I'm going to make that ceiling crash, ah
That ceiling crashing
So what? Still have knives in my back
So what? I'm tied to the tracks
Yeah, I'm going to dance on broken glass
And here I go, here I go
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Yeah, here I go, here I go
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
And here I go, here I go
