Lachrymose
Bruno Pernadas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I stop and wonder
Will you start to fly
You drive by and shoot in places
I thought I saw you try

Oh, what a mess
Almost a year now
Oh, what a star you are

Stop making sense
Down by the water

It′s over my head, now
Way over my head, now
Way over my head, now

Don't even ask me why
I know it all by heart
Laster complex is over
We get along just fine

Oh, what anew
He drives me to nowhere
Oh, what a star you are
Overtime sleeping
Nothing to say now

It′s over my head, now
Way over my head, now
Way over my head, now
It's over my head, now

Way over my head now
Way over my head now

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I stop and wonder
Occasionally, I spend time contemplating

Will you start to fly
Do you plan on taking off in flight?

You drive by and shoot in places
You pass through spaces and take shots

I thought I saw you try
I believed that I witnessed your attempted effort

Oh, what a mess
Oh, how chaotic

Almost a year now
It has been almost a year

Oh, what a star you are
Oh, what a shining star you are

Stop making sense
Stop being coherent

Down by the water
Near the water's edge

It′s over my head, now
It is beyond my understanding at this point in time

Way over my head, now
Far beyond my comprehension at present
