Lyrics & Translation
Fear,
loneliness,
the minor chords that always made me cry,
the pain of one disappointment after another.
and all under your spotlight,
under your opinion.
I got tired of romanticizing every time they stabbed my confidence,
that threw my love in the trash.
I was wrapped by the night,
which became my best companion, my best friend,
the only one who listened to me without judging,
and wanted nothing in return,
because I had already sold out too much.
You don't know me.
You don't know shit about me.
I'm not a shooting star.
Please enjoy the fall.
Clap while I fall.
The show must go on.
I made friends with the devil.
Please enjoy the fall.
Clap while I fall.
The show must go on.
I made friends with the devil.
