Lyrics
8000 years you were by my side
Reflecting on a long period of companionship lasting 8000 years.
Now I see you turn into light
Observing a transformation of the companion into a form of light.
But do they notice
Questioning whether others are aware of this transformation.
8000 years weren't enough to know you

But do they notice

No, I never asked you for this separation

No, I never asked you for reparation

Lay your head down
Encouraging the companion to rest or find solace.
Ears to the ground
Advising to stay grounded and attentive.
Say that you know
Requesting acknowledgment of understanding.
I know you know

The spire fell down to the ground
Describing a significant event where a spire fell to the ground.
Blood rushed and made no sound
Depicting a moment of intense emotion marked by the absence of sound.
Do you ever see me
Questioning if the companion truly sees the speaker.
Breathe the smoke right into my lungs
Recalling inhaling smoke during a distressing event in Aleppo.
When Aleppo falls I try to run
Expressing an attempt to escape during the fall of Aleppo.
Will you ever see me

Tell me that we can maybe understand

I know all the secrets you know

But I can't seem to let you go
