Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nobody here knocking at my door
The sound of silence I can't take anymore
Nobody ringing my telephone now
Oh how I miss such a beautiful sound
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it to the show without your light
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now

This is what it feels like

Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya

Nothing to hold but the memories and frames
Oh they remind me of the battle I face
Without your love, without you I drown
Somebody save me I'm going down
And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it to the show without your light
No I don't even know if I'm alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like

Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya
Ajumba do the pasta my mama hail am see the pasta Ajumba ya

And I don't even know how I survive
I won't make it down the road with one headlight
No I don't even know if I'm alive

Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like
