Island
Arkadash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were lost in endless weaves
In the distance shimmers land
An island in the sun
As we step on golden sand
We hear colors we see sounds
Voices calling in our heads:
„follow your heart to my heart
Let me guide you
I will light you up
Follow your heart to my heart
Let me show you
How you know to love
Fell it! do you feel it?
Pour yourself into me
Let it all run free
Fell it! do you feel it?
If you suffered enough
Don't you hide from love"
Hints and signs lead us astray
As we stumble through the maze
But the island drags us in
Quietly and still
Nothing matters, nothing counts
Everything lost, everything found
Bittersweet the voices call
