Lyrics & Translation
Close my eyes, sensing impermanence with my skin
You were here, just out of my reach when I left
Your scent builds a wall around me
Start to breathe again, holding onto that lingering beauty
The bitterness I taste now was once the sweetest sweetness
Old things fill the air, every breath is harmful
You're by the bedside, you're in the hall, constantly appearing in my mind
Loneliness floods the air, depression comes in
I'd rather hold my breath, inhaling you stains my eyes
Struggling to stand again, voluntarily starting to learn
Adapting quickly to this cruel low pressure
Lacking the courage, afraid to lose you
Lacking the backbone to let my body and mind escape
Start to breathe again, that deadly breath
Filled with oxidized romance, addicted to this thought-provoking feeling
Old things fill the air, every breath is harmful
You're by the bedside, you're in the hall, constantly appearing in my mind
Loneliness floods the air, depression comes in
I'd rather hold my breath, inhaling you stains my eyes
Choking wouldn't be surprising, no breathing, no waiting
Don’t want you, don’t want you, I need to clear my mind
Try to stay strong, open every window
Not afraid of you, not afraid of you, afraid that breathing is harmful
