Birdie
Alveole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't know how it feels like,
And I can't fucking tell.
You don't know how you make me feel,
Inside this fucking hell.

But I won't go,
I will stay right here,
And look into your eyes,
Like nobody, like nobody,
Like nobody else.

You don't know how it feels like,
And I can't fucking tell.
You don't know how you make me feel,
Inside this fucking hell.

Like nobody, like nobody,
Like nobody else.
Like nobody, like nobody,
Like nobody else.

I know I have lost,
Everything to you.
And I know, I have failed,
But this is nothing new.
But I just don't feel,
Like I have reached the ending.
No I just can't see,
Why this feels still offending?

You don't know how it feels like,
And I can't fucking tell.
You don't know how you make me feel,
Inside this fucking hell.

But I won't go I will stay right here,
And look into your eyes,
Like nobody, like nobody,
Like nobody else.

You don't know how it feels like,
And I can't fucking tell.
You don't know how you make me feel,
Inside this fucking hell.

Like nobody, like nobody,
Like nobody else.
Like nobody, like nobody,
Like nobody else.

Oh no, this is true.
I can't stay – I'm falling down,
In your hands, right to you,
Forever crawling, ‘cause,
I can't see and I can't hear,
And I can't reach the ending.




What has caused all this pain?
And why it feels offending?
