[English]
I woke up alone in a blank emptiness
After an ending, everything starts again
I don't really know if I'm awake or asleep
But something tells me there's no turning back
It's Christmas, a year to forget
Another year, nothing really changed
Now I can see the celebrations from the outside
My reflection isn't visible in the window
For now, it doesn't hurt anymore
I'm just another light in the city
I searched for so much
To lose track of space and time
That's the only way they'll miss me
The darkness isn't scary anymore
If I had another chance
...
I woke up alone in a blank emptiness
After an ending, everything starts again
I don't really know if I'm awake or asleep
But something tells me there's no turning back
For now, it doesn't hurt anymore
I'm just another light in the city
I searched for so much
To lose track of space and time
That's the only way they'll miss me
The darkness isn't scary anymore
If I had another chance
...
