These rivers are rain from a summer gone by
dragging the rubbles to sea
they're pointing their guns towards a northern sky
still none of them call themselves free
afraid to collide, you fall out of your mind
to kiss concrete ground with your teeth.
But with two cigarettes and your letter, combined
this air is too heavy to breathe
this air is too heavy to breathe
in order to stop them you cry out a spell
that withers in rubbles overseas
"take all your fluid words, kiss me farewell
and give me peace
give me peace"
dragging the rubbles to sea
they're pointing their guns towards a northern sky
still none of them call themselves free
afraid to collide, you fall out of your mind
to kiss concrete ground with your teeth.
But with two cigarettes and your letter, combined
this air is too heavy to breathe
this air is too heavy to breathe
in order to stop them you cry out a spell
that withers in rubbles overseas
"take all your fluid words, kiss me farewell
and give me peace
give me peace"

Very surprised that this one has no comments yet, it's an amazing song. What I'd imagined from the video and the lyrics is that the whole song speaks about the marginalized and those affected by violence. In the video there is the forgotten: the old man, the voice that is never heard: child and teenager, the victim of a misogynist: the woman. Generally, I think, it talks about the forgotten, the ones that are always there but nobody trust or nobody listen. These people become marginal, maybe they are not poor ones, but it feels that way, and at the same time they become in someone strange for themselves, maybe violent people or despots. That's what I think that this is a great song, maybe I'm in a mistake, but this feels that way for me.
