A hot breath on the back of my neck by
Someone pushing his way to the bar
And to my left, somebody's father is pressing
Right up against someone's daughter with shark eyes
And now I'm smoking too much
It's the only excuse
I have to get away from filling my black lungs
With cheap perfume
And now everybody's talking
But no one's saying a damn thing
Just taking turns reciting something absurd
That they heard once
The things that I would do just to get inside
Of some woman's blurred view
And all the things that I would do
To get out once I actually do
And I... I'm over it
And now I... I'm over it
And I... I'm over it
And now I... I'm over it
I'll buy a drink for a stranger
She's been giving me eyes all night
Maybe give her an empty line
Now I'm part of it
I'm part of it
Now I'm part of it
(And now everybody's talking
But no one's saying a damn thing)
I'm part of it
(Just taking turns reciting something absurd
That they heard once)
Now I'm part of it
(The things that I would do just to get inside
Of some woman's blurred view)
I'm part of it
(And all the things that I would do to get out)
Someone pushing his way to the bar
And to my left, somebody's father is pressing
Right up against someone's daughter with shark eyes
And now I'm smoking too much
It's the only excuse
I have to get away from filling my black lungs
With cheap perfume
And now everybody's talking
But no one's saying a damn thing
Just taking turns reciting something absurd
That they heard once
The things that I would do just to get inside
Of some woman's blurred view
And all the things that I would do
To get out once I actually do
And I... I'm over it
And now I... I'm over it
And I... I'm over it
And now I... I'm over it
I'll buy a drink for a stranger
She's been giving me eyes all night
Maybe give her an empty line
Now I'm part of it
I'm part of it
Now I'm part of it
(And now everybody's talking
But no one's saying a damn thing)
I'm part of it
(Just taking turns reciting something absurd
That they heard once)
Now I'm part of it
(The things that I would do just to get inside
Of some woman's blurred view)
I'm part of it
(And all the things that I would do to get out)
This song has so easily captivated me with its touching and sincere simplicity, perfectly complemented by incredibly sophisticated and sublime musical patterns. There is something so familiar in this melody, something so soulful in this voice, but at the same time something so unattainable beautiful hovers above. And it seems to me that this song is a story of a cute and shy guy from the house next door, a boy who you have known for so long that it seems that he cannot be anything more than you use to see in him... But one day he inadvertently opens his sad soul permeated with pain and scattering of dreams imprisoned in it to you. A soul that has become a home for all the unnoticed beauty of this world. And you watch with a sinking heart as a storm is forming in your heart, tearing off the last veils of self-control from your soul. And now it's not so easy to just take your eyes off him. Just like I can't stop listening to this song...
