Lyrics & Translation

[English] We didn’t bother
To gather a little
Before time takes away
Our desires and hopes
The images, the quarrels
Of the resentful past
Have forged our armor
Our hearts have sealed themselves

Staying alone in your corner
Our demons alive
Lost in our drawings
Without color, dark gray
We could have chosen forgiveness
Try a different story for the future
Than just trying to forget
Let's take each other's hand
Along the road
Let's choose our destinies
Without any doubt
I believe and it’s nothing
But a matter of listening
To open wide our small hands
At all costs

We didn’t bother
To talk about us
Our pride, facing forward
Without falling to our knees
In our transparent eyes
Lies on our teeth
Impossible to deny
The whole body revealed
Let's take each other's hand
Along the road
Let's choose our destinies
Without any doubt
I believe and it’s nothing
But a matter of listening
To open wide our small hands
At all costs
Let's take each other's hand
Along the road
Let life live on
Slide without holding back

But words are just words
Not the most important ones
We put our own feelings into them
That change with the times
It’s silly, how foolish we can be
To hide from ourselves
It’s silly, how foolish we can be
Because the other is only a mirror
Of what we hide behind

If our deep-seated patterns
Don’t freeze us in place
It’s the start of our dreams
That tend to come true
Let's take each other's hand
Along the road
Let's choose our destinies
Without any doubt
I believe and it’s nothing
But a matter of listening
To open wide our small hands
At all costs
Let's take each other's hand
Along the road
Let life live on
Slide without holding back
If our deep-seated patterns
Don’t freeze us in place
It’s the start of our dreams
That tend to come true
It’s silly, how foolish we can be
To hide from ourselves
It’s silly, how foolish we can be
Because the other is only a mirror
Of what we hide behind
