Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa (A context-based English translation)

I let myself flow onwards. I swim through my mind back and forth. My soul still sings the song we once wrote together. We once had a dream. We had everything. We rode to the end of the world.

I let myself flow onwards. I swim through my mind back and forth. My soul still sings the song we once wrote together. We once had a dream. We had everything. We rode to the end of the world. We rode on searching. We climbed skyscrapers but they were all destroyed. The peace is gone now. I lack balance. I fall down. Still I let myself flow onwards. I swim through my mind but I always come back to the same place. There is nothing left to say. This is for the best. God will provide a day for us tomorrow.

the context based translation kind of reminds me of Cob in the movie Inception. his character is still stuck on Mal, his wife who died. they once had a dream together. and when they were stuck in limbo they built a world together, building skyscrapers that were then destroyed. after her death he lacks balance but still has to move on. in his dreams he always "comes back to the same place" aka Mal. and in the end he has to do something about it to either get over her or be in limbo with her forever. just a thought......
