Lyrics & Translation
Learning a language through music is a powerful journey, and "I Of The Storm" by Of Monsters and Men offers a poignant and introspective path into English. The song's clear, emotive vocals and profound lyrical depth provide a unique opportunity to explore themes of vulnerability and self-acceptance. Its repetitive, questioning chorus makes it an excellent tool for mastering pronunciation and understanding the nuances of emotional expression in English, all within a beautiful and haunting melody.
[English]
If I could face themIf I could make amends with all my shadows
I'd bow my head and welcome them
But I feel it burning
Like when the winter wind stops my breathing
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
I fear you won't
I fear you don't
And it echoes when I breathe
'Til all you'll see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath in this storm
I am a stranger
I am an alien inside a structure
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
With all my thoughts
And all my faults
I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin, so uninviting
Are you really gonna need me when I'm gone?
I fear you won't
I fear you don't
And it echoes when I breathe
'Til all you'll see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath in this storm
I feel it
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me underneath to this storm
