Counting Stars
AELONIA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of pointless counting all the stars above my head
It's like the sea of life and death
But I don't feel like I'm dead
I'm disappearing slowly, melting in your arms again
The sky if falling down on us
The darkness's leaving our veins
It's time to sleep, It's time to fly
Through centuries and through the skies
Through light of sun and through the night
You might be tired of a pointless fight
Stop carrying burdens of the world
Just take a breath and close your eyes
Let yourself feel free tonight

Rise higher
Through fire
This is our escape
Diversion
Explosion
We can levitate
Our souls are
In solace
Reaching for the light
We found our refuge
Let's leave this world behind
Behind

Stop living by the rules
There is no algorithm of life
There is no law how to survive
Flow with the rythm of time
Trust to the signs of nature
Let me help you ease your mind
Let our two worlds collide
Into the light that's beaming so bright
Dimensions are crashing Into one
We are so free in our ectasy
The abstraction of reality
We are just two energies entwined
Into one love, into one plight
Like ocean waves with a blue sky
We're taking off to elevate

Rise higher
Through fire
This is our escape
Diversion
Explosion
We can levitate
Our souls are
In solace
Reaching for the light
We found our refuge
Let's leave this world behind

I'm tired of pointless counting all the stars above my head
It's like the sea of life and death

Rise higher
Through fire
This is our escape
Diversion
Explosion
We can levitate
Our souls are
In solace
Reaching for the light
We found our refuge




Let's leave this world behind
Behind

I can't believe how hard you both had to do on this video

the lyrics are straight forward and instruments are incredibly well done and well taught !
Also Inna your voice is my envy
You are like Serena from POC on stranger tides
Jake you are like Ash from ash vs the evil dead and Jack Sparrow playing The Demon's guitar from KISS

But with the both of you together you both are like Mulan and Shane from Mulan
Both kinds and sweet but deep down Don't fuck with them
Love you both and hope this song comes on deezer , apple music and spotify

Inna, is a fallen angel... confirmed! She’s the angel that’s been walking by his side for years as shown in video. He senses she’s there, even though he doesn’t see her, but she sees him. Only near the end, he runs into her. Now that concept sounds both cool/adorable! 😩❤️

Наташа и cute 🥰

Припев бомба!👌👍👍
