Teardrop
(Trip-Hop) Massive Attack Lyrics

Love, love is a verb
Love is an action that requires effort and doing, it needs to be demonstrated and felt.

Love is a doing word
Love is an action, something that must be done and demonstrated in order to be felt and understood.

Fearless on my breath
I have no fear, I am calm and composed. My breath is steady and unwavering.

Gentle impulsion
A soft and gentle force that moves me, a slight nudge or push in the right direction.

Shakes me, makes me lighter
Though I am shaken, I feel lighter and less encumbered, as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

Teardrop on the fire
A small and insignificant thing can cause a great and devastating change, like a teardrop that can extinguish a flame.

Night, night of matter
The darkness is tangible and solid, a physical presence that surrounds and envelops me.

Black flowers blossom
Even in the darkest of moments, beauty can still emerge, like black flowers that bloom in the night.

Water is my eye
My tears flow like water, expressing my deepest emotions and innermost feelings.

Most faithful mirror
My tears are a reflection of my true self, my most honest and sincere self.

Of a confession
My tears are a sign of my confession, my admission of my true feelings and emotions.

It's tumbling down
Everything is crashing and falling apart, like a structure that is collapsing and tumbling down.
