Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Then I put my codes

In the machine

But the world I found was made

Of faulty dreams (of faulty dreams)

I was on my own there

In the psychic silence

I was looking out for

Some other kite to

Fly out of the doldrums

And recall the log

From the early database

Of your love (of your love)

Fairy-like companions

To the dark maths that catapult

Us into imagined worlds

Seems a mockery remote

Interlocking cluster bombs

"Like drum and bass," I thought

Close the wells of poison

Fill them up with love

I was on my own there

I was all alone

I got lost, intangible

But that's the place you reach when

You can't help yourself anymore

And the madness comes

You'll be falling into the

Bass and drum (bass and drum)

Fairy-like companions

To the dark maths that catapult

Us into imagined worlds

Seems a mockery remote

'Cause I got no choice in it

And I'm not so cold

I could look you in the eye

And not recall (and not recall)

...

(I was all alone)

(And not recall)

Don't think that my heart is a

Sad affair without you

Individual actions

Change the world

Fill them up with love

...
