Dancing, laughing, spinning…
Όλα τα τραγούδια μου ξεκινούν από στίχους, ένα στίχο που μού’ρχεται στο μυαλό και μετά τον αναπτύσσω. Δεν θεωρώ τα τραγούδια μου κάποιου είδους σπουδαία δουλειά, αλλά όπως είπα, δεν εξοστρακίζω πλέον! Το συγκεκριμένο, αν και γραμμένο πριν από μήνες, το θεωρώ -μετά βίας- ικανοποιητικό.
Here comes the dark
as the night does fall
my head feels almost
as if I’d just hit a wall
I’ve had moments of respite
when I’ve climbed this abyss
Yet every moment you’re away
something in my soul is amiss.
Food has no taste, words have no meaning,
Only you in my head, dancing, laughing, spinning…
I press on as if it’s a battlefield
heedless, reckless, fretless
but in as the day draws to a close
I am consumed by loneliness.
It’s almost like I’m cursed
by powers far beyond imagination
as if I had done a hideous act
that merits my damnation.
It’s unbearable yet I’m savouring my suffering,
when it’s you in my head, dancing, laughing, spinning…
And as I look outside again
stars greet me like old friends
lighting my dark path
as I struggle to make amends.
To repair my tattered life
as worn out as my leather boot
since I’ve begun travelling
this dreary world of ash and soot.
Yet there’s no crutch for me onto to be leaning,
only you in my head, dancing, laughing, spinning…
There’s that wall again
I can see it rise beyond the gloom
I’ve chased you all around
and yet I knew of my impending doom.
You raised that wall
to protect you from harm
yet I’m here now,
to offer my arm.
My armor isn’t shiny,
I am no knight
Yet I’ll keep you safe
during the night.
Because of you I’m once more daydreaming,
seeing you in my head, dancing, laughing, spinning…
I’ll tear down that wall,
using my heart as a hammer
It’s been too long
that I’ve been playing the mummer.
And together, hand in hand
in the clouds we’ll fly,
and you’ll stop worrying
when you’ll fall from up that high…
Because it’s none other but you that I’m loving,
and it’s you that I want to see dancing, laughing, spinning…
