Lyrics
Old broken roofs under monochrome skies
Describing old and deteriorated roofs under a monotonously gray sky.
Eyes of the windows staring like foes
Windows are portrayed as unfriendly, perhaps reflecting a sense of isolation.
Last birds keep circling in a final goodbye
Last birds circling signify a farewell, a sense of impending conclusion.
Feels like the end is so very close
The feeling that the end is imminent and palpable.
Remnants of long-gone gladness and joy
Remnants of past happiness and joy.
Hidden behind this black sooty glass
Happiness hidden behind dirty and darkened glass, possibly symbolizing obscured memories.
Pictures turned yellow and forgotten toys
Yellowed pictures and forgotten toys, indicating the passage of time and neglect.
All buried under clouds of dust
All the joy buried under layers of dust and forgotten.
There's no more place to stay in peace
A lack of peaceful places, an atmosphere of unrest.
Embrace the stillness and ease my pain
Yearning for stillness to alleviate pain.
Warm breeze of innocence won't sing to sleep
The warmth of innocence no longer brings comfort or sleep.
What's left of me?
Questioning what remains of the person in the midst of difficulties.
A shadow in the rain...
Being a mere shadow in the rain, a metaphor for insignificance and sorrow.
Cruel winds sweeping away leaves and days
Cruel winds symbolize hardships, sweeping away both leaves and days.
Time merging into one endless night
Time blending into an endless night, suggesting a sense of hopelessness.
No changing of seasons, just grayness and rain
No change in seasons, only a persistent grayness and rain.
It's dark outside and it's dark inside
Darkness both outside and inside, emphasizing a pervasive gloominess.
What would I change if I could return
Reflecting on the hypothetical opportunity to change the past.
Way back in time when it all began?
Questioning actions taken at the beginning of a journey.
What can I say? I don't really know
Expressing uncertainty about what to say or do in the present.
I leave it all now to somebody else
Leaving decisions and actions to someone else, possibly a sense of resignation.
There's no more place to stay in peace
Reiteration of the lack of a peaceful place, seeking solace in stillness.
Embrace the stillness and ease my pain
Yearning for tranquility to alleviate pain.
Warm breeze of innocence won't sing to sleep
The warmth of innocence remains elusive, failing to bring comfort or sleep.
What's left of me?
Repeating the question about what remains of the self amid challenges.
A shadow in the rain...
Continuing the metaphor of being a shadow in the rain, signifying vulnerability.
Warm breeze of innocence won't sing to sleep
Reiteration of the lost comforting quality of innocence.
What's left of me?
Repeating the query about what is left of the person, emphasizing the existential question.
A shadow in the rain...
Finalizing the metaphor of being a shadow in the rain, underscoring a sense of enduring sorrow.
