Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Night, nights of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
You're stumbling into all
You're stumbling into all.

I watch House every now and then, and today this episode aired on TV again. I just kept crying, even though I hadn't seen any other episodes of the fourth season. It was just too beautiful. There's no words to explain how brilliant this episode is. I just in all simplicity love it, and cry buckets while watching it. ♥ :'(
