The Eagle

Versions: #1
And if you burn my wings
So I can't fly again
From the smoke of my fire
I will still rise high
 
The eagle dies upon the air
Free and strong
When a heartless bullet finds him
The sky embraces him.
 
My eagle tears
Will not fall to earth
You will seek me at sunset
And you will not find sleep.
 

She's giving kisses

Versions: #1
Now she's talking to him, now she's looking at him
Now she's loving him in bed
He's untangling her hair with his fingers
Now she's dying with his kisses
 
She's giving kisses to him like I taught her to
And every time I think about her embrace, I cry
She's giving her body to him, how can I keep her by my side?
I have to stop her before she gives her heart to him, too
 
Now she's talking to him, he's making her laugh
Now she's rolling on him like the rain
She'll swear oaths to him and kiss him in the morning
Oaths that she'll never, never, never keep
 

I'm afraid for you

Versions: #1
Every cliff has its edge
Every 'goodbye' has a tear that it wants to save
 
Every longing has its pain
And separation wants to forget its time
 
And I'm not afraid of this emptiness in my body
The moment you leave, it'll cut itself in two
I'm not thinking about my own winter
I'm afraid for you
 
How you'll return to an empty house late at night
Who will give you a kiss goodnight?
How you'll forget all those things that cause you pain
I'm afraid for you
 
Every moment of silence has its reasoning
Every glance hides its fear
So it won't be betrayed
 
Every heart finds its own road
Whether it's in an embrace or whether it searches for it on its own
To catch it somewhere
 
And I'm not afraid...
 

You'll remember me

Versions: #1
I'm not going to ask you if you ever loved me
If you want me to leave you alone, just say it
Just know that you wasted a life
You'll ask for it back when it's too late
 
You'll remember me like a fire
In your frozen heart
And you'll ask for me to warm your loneliness
You'll remember me like rain
In your thirsty soul
Because I loved you more than my own life
 
I won't hold you back with shouts and tears
If you want me to leave you alone, I'll go once and for all
But remember that things change
And you'll want me back when it's too late
 
You'll remember me like a fire
In your frozen heart
And you'll ask for me to warm your loneliness
You'll remember me like rain
In your thirsty soul
Because I loved you more than my own life
 

Statues

Versions:
In this holy hour
When our lips meet
And lock up thousands of 'I love yous'
In this holy hour
We don't need words
Our love speaks for the both of us
 
Statues, we'd become statues
In this holy hour
At this moment
My love, I'd die in your arms
You'd die in my arms, too
As if a kiss were a knife
 
In this holy hour
When our hands are burning
When longing is both sweet and torturous
Time would stop in this holy hour
When the words 'I love you' were spoken
 
Statues, we'd become statues
In this holy hour
At this moment
My love, I'd die in your arms
You'd die in my arms, too
As if a kiss were a knife
 

Birthday

Versions: #1
On the trails of longing
on the bridge of sighs
my mother gave birth to me
On an autumn evening,
oh Life, my eyes saw your cold heart
 
With plastic rattles
pretty and colorful
they put me to sleep
And my little eyes
saw the world's commodities
and they agreed
 
My milk was bitter
and the water I was raised on was brackish
And opposite my swing,
my malicious Fate
was boasting of me
 
My cry was dull
as if I was trying to say something,
but they didn't feel for me
A sorrowful breath
for this whore of a life
that they debited me with
 
That's how my story began, then. That's how it began
They didn't ask for my opinion, oh Life, but I got used to you
Like a wounded eaglet in the dirt,
I seek the strength to keep holding on
 
That's how my story began, then. That's how it began
They taught me something but I faced something else entirely
God, I wish I knew what day I will die
and I will celebrate it like my birthday
 
On the mud and nails
and fire of this unjust world, I took my first steps
A steady balance
so I can catch up with life,
but I fell flat
 
Only the 'O' and the 'H'
did I learn to pronounce
in my school days
That's why the words 'oh' and 'why'
follow me wherever I go
even though I've turned thirty
 
Thus time passed
and I, stooping on my path,
made dreams
It so happened that I was one of those
who swim in the foam
and the sludge
 
The blood of my soul is dripping
like raindrops
but who cares?
And the invisible wound
which is bleeding within
has no one to share the burden
 
That's how my story began, then. That's how it began
They didn't ask for my opinion, oh Life, but I got used to you
Like a wounded eaglet in the dirt,
I seek the strength to keep holding on
 
That's how my story began, then. That's how it began
They taught me something but I faced something else entirely
God, I wish I knew what day I will die
and I will celebrate it like my birthday
God, I wish I knew what day I will die
and I will celebrate it like my birthday
 

Immortal

Versions: #3
You push me away, and yet I return
To me, you're the center of the world.
You're blossoming, and I'm shrinking
You're going to destroy me, you're doing your damnedest to do it.
 
What a poison, what a knife from your hand 1
There is no death for me.
What even is your kiss, this mercy killing of yours?
I have become immortal.
There is no death for me.
 
Am I your love or am I a sacrifice?
And you, you're counting each embrace I give you.
I weep whenever I touch you,
And you dress me in shame. 2
 

• 1. Sounds like she's torturing him.

Don't say anything

It was a big mistake, and you returned
You were repentant, you wanted to find me.
You asked for forgiveness, but how am I supposed to answer?
Such moments are better left silent 1
 
Don't say anything, don't say anything,
You're the destiny that hit me with no remorse.
Don't say anything, don't say anything,
You're the destiny that hit me with no remorse.
 
I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, I can't look back,
I'm closing my eyes in the hopes that morning will come.
I'll stay up late with a bottle, drinking
Such moments are better left silent.
 
Don't say anything, don't say anything,
You're the destiny that hit me with no remorse.

Talk to us

You passed by me again, and you didn't even return to look at me
My heart is aching so much, it's aching for you to change it.
 
You're not measuring me properly
Don't go against me
Shut up, you're scattering my life
 
Talk to us and don't love us
You're passing by without any reason
Talk to us and don't love us
You're carrying a storm 1 and I'm fading away.
 
Whatever is mine, I will contribute
Whenever a conversation is getting to be enough, I will take you away
Whatever the price is, I will pay it
I will risk everything for you.
 
Unravel the silence, and come to wherever it's leaving
Give me the end and the beginning.
 
Talk to us and don't love us
You're passing by without any reason
Talk to us and don't love us
You're carrying a storm and I'm fading away.

Love is witchcraft

When the night falls, you are the light
You become a beautiful Goddess
And I try to touch you, but I can't reach you.
You felt it, and since you can do it 1
Don't deny this love.
Come tonight, come find me, so that I might warm you up.

Death, if you were human

Death, if you were human for only an hour
You'd feel loneliness, you'd feel pain!!
 
I would want you to be unarmed
When you came out sauntering
And I'd be holding a sword, I'd hold a scythe...
 
And I would be sitting on a throne of luxuries, and I'd like it like that
Any riches that you had, I would take them from you..
But you aren't human, you're a murderer
And when I speak with you, the time goes by, lost...
 
Death, if you were human

You'd be in my place, and I'd be in yours

Where will I find courage?

You were just a lie, a golden butterfly
You had the gaze of the Virgin Mary,
But the lips of Judas.
 
I will bear the cross and forgive you,
But where will I find the courage to forget you?
 
I forgot everything in your embrace, from your first caress
I forgot you had the sun in your eyes,
But you had darkness in your soul.
 
I will bear the cross and forgive you,
But where will I find the courage to forget you?

I'm hiding

Don't look at me when I'm not speaking
Maybe something inside me will break.
My life is a quiet wave that has never learned how to break.
 
I'm hiding not just from others, but from myself as well
I'm hiding from these fixed games
I'm also hiding from your lie of a love
I'm hiding not just from others, but from myself as well
I'm hiding from these fixed games
I'm also hiding from your lie of a love
 
I'm returning to myself in this crowd
I feel that the roads are suspicious
I'm searching to touch something real
And of loneliness, I'm asking forgiveness.

Mediterranean

You've put me on a train that has no driver because you want to leave me
And when the rails go off the cliff, you won't be there to stop it. 1
 
Night is falling
And I'm in a basement, slowly drinking my death
And you, with white dresses in the lights 2, and with lies, are celebrating this separation.

And when the storm comes, I'll get lost,
Your heartlessness will drown me like a river.

How much pain you're causing me

Versions: #2
Tonight, I touched an old wound of mine
It came from you, and it remained open
You were the worst mistake I ever made in my life
The one which my heart still blames me for.
 
I found a letter, a photograph,
Things of yours that I'm holding onto
One moment I'm telling a lie, one moment I'm admitting a weakness
Do I hate you, or do I still love you?
 
You don't know how much pain you're causing me when I remember you
You don't know how you're destroying me
Do I hate you, or do I love you?
I don't know if I love you...

Migrant birds

I grew out of rocks and ashes,
And you grew in a parlor flowerpot.
I'm searching for the heart of the trail,
And you're offhandedly getting into the kinks of the mind 1
 
I grew out of rocks and steel
And you grew in a glass cage
I raised my head up to God,
And you're painting the jail in so many colours.
 
I have migrant birds for friends,
And you say that you have the clingy sort of friends.
I'm searching for my lost suns,
Tell me, what are you searching for in the smoke?
What are you searching for?
What are you searching for?

Love makes noise

You say that the journey for us ends somewhere here,
And that you're leaving me here to guess where to go without even looking at me.
You're declaring that we're separating, I can't believe it.
 
My heart is wondering if this dream life is ending,
How it could happen,
But this absolute silence in response to logical questions
Will always silence love.
 
Love makes noise when it leaves, and it scares the heart like a child
The silence of separation is deafening,
Loneliness makes such a fuss.
 
Love makes noise when it leaves, it loudly shuts the door behind it
And it scares the heart, that doesn't believe how much it wants to tell her of loneliness.
 
You're leaving, and for a moment,
All the words I lived by became memories.
I asked 'why',
They passed by my mind,
And went searching for answers.
 
My heart is wondering if this dream life is ending,
How it could happen,
But this absolute silence in response to logical questions
Will always silence love.

Goodnight

Goodnight, I'll whisper to you, but after a thousand thoughts.
Another night full of being apart,
I'm lost in hyperboles and contrasts.
 
Tonight, my mind is bringing you here,
Everything I should be doing is going out the window.
I want you to come here so I can see you,
Tonight, everything will be allowed.
 
Goodnight.
What a strange woman this night is,
An embrace, a separation, again and again so many times.
I kept how much I love you secret in my soul, but you're not coming back and it's in pain.
Goodnight, my heart is calling out to you.
 
Goodnight, and if you're far,
I'm saying what I feel. 1
You see that they gathered a lot.
Martyrdom or loneliness, I'm crying on the inside.
 
I don't know what this is that's hurting me,
I don't know what I'm responsible for.
I always gave you hugs, I always showed you and told you I loved you.

Artist

With an orchestra as a backdrop
And a commercial voice,
You spend your hours on a dance floor.
You're so-and-so, an artist of some great art
But you never learned what an artist truly is.
 
Artist, they'll say, alone in a prison on a channel of bitterness
Artist, they'll say, speak with silence so that the others can hear
Artist, they'll say, how you aren't all that and you're mimicking the rest.
 
If those who are watching you clap for you,
Don't be flattered, it's just out of habit 1
And if you're an artist of this art, you're just a poster 2,
You're not a true artist.

Once upon a time, there were lies and truths
I fought witches and dragons to find you
Lies and truths and a world of faery tales,
I hid you in one 1 and locked it up in my chest
And when I forget, when I'm drowning and I can't stand it
I return to you, once upon a time.

To become the fire of longing
I'd win, I'd lose, I'd drink and get full,

You left and life became a disaster,
And I've opened negotiations with Death 1
With a nail inside, you've crucified me, and your goodbye was what nailed me to the wall
Two months have passed since you vanished, and these two months have turned into two years
All the bitterness of the world is saddling me with debt 2
And you sold out all my dreams.
 
Your 'I love you' was a prayer for me,
Every one of your kisses made me immortal
You left and I've sentenced myself to experience a life of a thousand deaths.
 
You left and the sun suddenly went away, and the nights became a difficult trial
My dreams feel like they're borrowed,
You and my loneliness are conspiring.
You left and I stopped feeling strong
I've been missing you for a bit, but it feels like ages and ages to me
Far away from you, I'm a wounded eagle
And my life is a never-ending winter.

And I have tears in my eyes from your soul.

You're opening the door and leaving me alone.

Your eyes are now so far away that they're leaving me alone.
And if everything ended and I felt any pain,
You've forever bound me to you like a slave.

I saw it in my sleep and I was hit with a spell of dizziness,
Some crows were burying Greece.
And I felt humiliation and shame inside,
If I hadn't woken up, I would have had a heart attack. 1

The love you gave to me was a ray of sunshine,
It was spring, and from the beginning you liked me.
But when it rained one night until dawn broke,
You betrayed me without shame, even though I had loved you so much.
 
Burn the pictures and keep the ash
I have such a large grudge against you,
I have such a large grudge against you.
 
You opened a window into my dreams,
With your heart and your body, you tolerated me,
But whatever I felt, you didn't feel it,
And like a thief, you left, even though I had loved you so much.

Except for myself

It was something like a sign when their elbows locked
I asked you how it happened,
And you told me, 'with a needle'.
 
I thought it was going to hurt,
You're telling me that it hurts now
I saw you become stressed as time passed by.
 
Except for myself, I'm yelling
For a single moment of this pale life.
 
I remember nights when you were cold,
Even if it were summer.
You marked moments of hate on the wall with a knife.
 
Your friends pushed you round and round,
Two on the inside and one on the outside
And they always sent me away,
But maybe I'll get tangled up with you.
