(verse 1)
I tried to live,
I tried… to hide from betrayal, from secrets and silence I keep…
But there is no way out, no light to lead me from the deep.
You know I can’t touch you, I try but can’t reach you from here…
I beg you: lend hand to me just to protect me from fear…
Oh, dear…
(refrain)
Would I only get all…
Get my people and things all around to forget…
Would I only have known…
Now I know what it means to lose all in the end…
Amen…
(verse 2)
I tried to leave,
I tried… to be someone else, free and safe and sincere once more…
But mask was too heavy to wear round the clock as before.
In gray morning crowds I feel like I’m naked and tied up,
Eternity waits for my asking the moment to stop…
Give up.
п/а: баловство в духе "много пафоса, ни грамма толку", предоставлялось на рассмотрение заказчику (лидеру молодежной рок-группы) среди прочей ерунды. конкретно эта песня оказалась не ко двору, ибо "слишком сложный текст" (ха-ха!) и "в общую картину не впишется - медляк" (три раза ха!).
