[English]

There's no meaning in what's yet to come

I'm lost, still captive in the unreal

I want to breathe again

Where the air is still alive

And greed remains silent

...

Memories of a time long past

When we weren't yet insane

Dreams were still to come

How can I explain what's wrong?

If I spin trapped in the spiral

If I scream and no one hears anymore

And in solitude I mourn

...

...

...

...

...

...

The sound of the river haunts you upon waking

You're empty, living in worlds of glass

I want to breathe again

And smell the wet earth

Where winter weeps in peace

Memories of a time long past

When the world was still free

And today you chain the sea with your yoke

How can I explain what's wrong?

If I live trapped in the spiral

If I scream and no one hears anymore

And in solitude I mourn

If you can bear

Not a single moment in your life

Looking at the sky, without thinking further

...

How can I explain what's wrong?

If I spin trapped in the spiral

If I scream and no one hears anymore

And in solitude

How can I explain what there is to love?

If I live in the same spiral

If I scream and no one hears anymore

And in solitude I mourn

...

[Spanish]

No hay sentido en lo que queda por llegar

Estoy perdido, sigo cautivo en lo irreal

Quiero volver a respirar

Donde aun el aire está vivo

Y la codicia muda está

Recuerdos de un tiempo inicial

Cuando aún no estábamos locos

Quedaban sueños por llegar

¿Cómo explicar lo que está mal?

Si giro inmerso en la espiral

Si grito y nadie escucha ya

Y en soledad me lamento

El son del río hoy te atormenta al despertar

Estáis vacíos, vivís en mundos de cristal

Quiero volver a respirar

Y oler la tierra mojada

Donde el invierno llora en paz

Recuerdos de un tiempo inicial

Cuando aun el mundo era libre

Y hoy encadenas con tu yugo al mar

¿Cómo explicar lo que está mal?

Si vivo inmerso en la espiral

Si grito y nadie escucha ya

Y en soledad me lamento

Si eres capaz de soportar

Ni un solo instante en tu vida

Mirando al cielo, sin pensar más

¿Cómo explicar lo que está mal?

Si giro inmerso en la espiral

Si grito y nadie escucha ya

Y en soledad

¿Cómo explicar lo que hay que amar?

Si vivo en la misma espiral

Si grito y nadie escucha ya

Y en soledad me lamento
