Lyrics & Translation
Infinity fits in my end
Look, how are you?
You don't even recognize me
See me at the final points
In my free moments
In memories
In infinity
Infinity fits in my end
And the pain lasts
Too soon, the world pushed you away
On this dark night I think
Who could you be now?
And the pain lasts
Too soon, the world pushed you away
On this dark night I think
Who could you be?
In the midst of my infinity I found peace
And it fit in me
Until one day I feared the end would change me
I felt myself change
How can a fleeting smile be so light?
You see me with a bare face, missing you here
A final point in such a brief phrase
I still hold you in the words I write
A presence taken so early
I promised myself I wouldn't be led by fear
Sometimes it's hard, but you know I try
Time passed, drowned out by the passing time
It's a multitude of moments
And I left so early from home
Without knowing if my soul heals
On my pillow
I’ve dreamed of times when I had you by my side
In infinity
In infinity
Infinity fits in my end
Life rushing by
Doesn't wait for me
With a shattered soul
I see where love lets me walk
Try again
From here on
From here on
In infinity someday I’ll be with you
In infinity someday I’ll be with you
In infinity someday I’ll be with you
In infinity
