Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Remember to put on silencer

Exactly like our mother’s words

We forget about spilled wine

But the stain will not be gone

Though the violence is familiar

And the touch of their fingers bitter and sweet

The flavours are not yours to seize

Don’t ever give in, please

Camelia

I was the one to venture

Settling only for more

I’ve poured out my everything

My everything inside

With grown up eyes

You’ll see

Some men are pigs, some girls are the same

Why would their lies stop tonight

Remember to put on silencer

Exactly like our mother’s words

We forget about spilled wine

But the stain will not be gone

Though the violence is familiar

And the touch of their fingers bitter and sweet

The flavours are not yours to seize

Stay lively and free

Nobody is born a fighter

There isn’t enough space for all of us

You don’t have to act so tough

But your focus shall never budge

Everyone is really similar

Strip them down to the core, the flesh and skin

See how their love is thin

Don’t you ever give in

Camelia

I pulled the trigger, bang bang

Though unlike in the movies

So loud it screamed

We forget about killed swine

But the pain will not be gone

Echoing down the corridor

The soul of a naked man looking for more

Looks like you still stand

Let me finish you, bang bang bang

Remember to put on silencer

Exactly like our mother’s words

We forget about spilled wine

But the stain will not be gone

Though the violence is familiar

And the touch of their fingers bitter and sweet

The flavours are not yours to seize

Stay lively and free

Nobody is born a fighter

There isn’t enough space for all of us

You don’t have to act so tough

No one can make you budge

Nothing of him was particular

Though somehow I was obedient till now

See how their blood is vile

Don’t let yourself corrupt

Camelia
