Energize Me
After Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That's burning between us
It's not a fantasy
Another mystery
It's just what I can feel
It's like a memory
And in a melody
It's just what we all know
And we all hear
I was blind
I was closed down
Could not feel
Or set it free
Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That's burning between us
It lies in everyone
This swalling energy
It's all around us too
Electrifying you
So can't you set it free?
This virtue is the key
Just something we all know
And we are used
I can feel
It's inside me
Open up
Enlighten me
Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That's burning between us
Energize me with a simple smile
Open up your mind
Energize me activate that light
That's given and taken
Can you believe in the power that's burning between us?
Would you believe if you open up your mind
Open up your mind
Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That's burning between us
Energize me with a simple smile
Open up your mind
Energize me, fire up this flame
That's burning forever

Mal Bredova
Nabij mě obyčejným dotekem
Nebo otevřeným srdcem
Nabij mě, zažehni ten plamen
Co hoří mezi námi
Není to fantazie
Další záhada
Je to jen to, co cítím
A něco, co vidím
Je to jako vzpomínka
A v melodii
Je to, co vše víme
A všichni slyšíme
Byla jsem slepá
Byla jsem uzavřená
Nemohla jsem cítit
Nebo to vypustit
Nabij mě obyčejným dotekem
Nebo otevřeným srdcem
Nabij mě, zažehni ten plamen
Co hoří mezi námi
Leží to v každém
Ta pohlcující energie
Je také okolo nás
Elektrizuje tě
Tak nevypustíš ji?
Ta ctnost je klíčem
Jen něco, co všichni víme
A používáme
Cítím
Je to uvnitř mě
Otevřu se
Osviť mě
Nabij mě obyčejným dotekem
Nebo otevřeným srdcem
Nabij mě, zažehni ten plamen
Co hoří mezi námi
Nabij mě obyčejným úsměvem
Otevři svou mysl
Nabij mě a zapoj to světlo
Co nám dali a vzali
Věříš v sílu, co hoří mezi námi?
Věřil bys, kdybys otevřel svou mysl
Otevři svou mysl
Nabij mě obyčejným dotekem
Nebo otevřeným srdcem
Nabij mě, zažehni ten plamen
Co hoří mezi námi
Nabij mě obyčejným úsměvem
Otevři svou mysl
Nabij mě, zažehni ten plamen
Co hoří navždy

Зарядите меня энергией простым прикосновением или с открытым сердцем
Заряди меня энергией, Зажги это пламя, которое горит между нами.
Это не фантазия, а очередная загадка
Это просто то, что я могу чувствовать, это то, что я могу видеть
Это как воспоминание, внутренняя мелодия
Это просто то, что мы все знаем, и мы все слышим
Я был слеп, я был закрыт
Не мог почувствовать или освободить его
Зарядите меня энергией простым прикосновением или с открытым сердцем
Заряди меня энергией, Зажги это пламя, которое горит между нами.
Она заключена в каждом человеке эта бурлящая энергия
Он тоже повсюду вокруг нас, электризует тебя
Так что осмеливайтесь освободить его, эта добродетель-ключ ко всему
К чему-то, что мы все знаем и используем
Я чувствую это внутри себя
Откройся, просвети меня!
Зарядите меня энергией простым прикосновением или с открытым сердцем
Заряди меня энергией, Зажги это пламя, которое горит между нами.
Заряди меня энергией простой улыбкой, Открой свой разум
Заряди меня энергией, активируй свет, который дан и взят
Можешь ли ты поверить в силу, которая горит между нами?
Поверишь ли ты, если откроешь свой разум, свое сердце
Зарядите меня энергией простым прикосновением или с открытым сердцем
Заряди меня энергией, Зажги это пламя, которое горит между нами.
Заряди меня энергией простой улыбкой, Открой свой разум
Заряди меня энергией, Зажги этот огонь, который горит вечно.

As much as I love Scabbia and Simons I have to admit Floor is the best female voice in metal ( in my opinion ). She could sing absolutely everything, both in rock and classical manner. Add the incredible presence on stage and you have the ideal vocalist.
Hey you
Tarja

Tarjaholics, ewwww
Ginger Powder

SWREngineering

Floor is remarkable and we're blessed to have her no matter what band she's singing for.
Imagine how difficult multiple fluencies and being in multiple bands is like....
The brain power is incredible.
That's talent, beauty and brains.
And a whole lot of dedication on top of it all.

Floor's voice always gave me chills.
Robert Douglass

Alan Espinet
Floor is simply a gift given to this world by a very very very generous deity. Listening to her is like opening a door to a different amazingly better world.
