No longer no longer
What you ask
Strange steps
Heels turned black
The cinders the cinders
They light the path
Of these strange steps
Take us back, take us back

Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me

Oh oh hey
Oh oh hey
Hysteric
Oh oh hey
Oh oh hey
Hysterical

No wonder no wonder,
Other half, strange steps
Heels turned black.
The cinders they splinter
And light the path
These strange steps
Trace us back trace us back

Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me

Hysteric [Repeats]
Hysterical.

    General CommentFor me, I feel that this song is about a couple that was falling apart, but, somehow, they get things together and fall back in love with each other.

    The Cinders: the burning of what they had and built. The destruction of what once was . . . yet, somehow they have come to clear the way(Light the path) for them to get their things in order and get back on track with being back together(take us back).

    A very beautiful song, and, like the others above me, it's my favorite track from It's Blitz!

    General Commenti agree with all of you. for me since the first moment i heard it "you suddenly complete me" catched my attention and made me analyze the song.

    i'm pretty sure its about a love that is being re-born. at first, the speakers says
    "no longer, no longer, what you ask" like if its the breakup
    but then, "heels turn black" meaning like they're dancing or somehow on their feet,
    and "the cinders, the cinders, light the path" is the same ashes from the past lighting the rebirth of love. and the steps take them back to what they were.
    then she realizes he completes her, and probably he feels the same way, and asks him to hang in there.
    and then " no wonder, no wonder, other half": she has no doubts about it now.
    now, hysteria, i think might be what jk123 said, but also it means "uncontrollably emotional" , and they can be referring to the feeling at that moment.
    This song is one of the most beautiful songs for me. it describes a perfect scene, in a perfect way. LOVE IT!

    General CommentFor me it's :

    No longer no longer
    What you ask
    (Something you didn't ask for)
    Strange steps
    Heels turned black
    (While searching for that special someone you're hoping for)
    The cinders the cinders
    They light the path
    Of these strange steps
    (That special someone came)
    Take us back, take us back
    (Of course, the first time you met wasn't enough... And you want to be with that special someone again --- always)


    No wonder no wonder,
    Other half, strange steps
    Heels turned black.
    The cinders they splinter
    And light the path
    (Enjoying your journey together)
    These strange steps
    Trace us back trace us back
    (Everyday of your lives you love to reminisce the day you found each other)
