Deborah Blando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stars are like eyes, they're watching the dark
Passion and fear run all over me
Night is a ghost accusing my heart
This life can be such a lonely place
I hear the laughter as I fall from grace
I fall from grace
Now I am branded with original sin
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always denying the proof?
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of the truth
The sky hides what I want to see
Stars are like eyes, they're watching the dark
Passion and fear run all over me
Night is a ghost accusing my heart
This life can be such a lonely place
I hear the laughter as I fall from grace
I fall from grace
Now I am branded with original sin
World without end
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always denying the proof?
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of the truth
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always denying the proof?
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of the truth
Ooh
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always denying the proof?
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of the truth
Ooh ooh ooh
Who's gonna fight for innocence

The lyrics of Deborah Blando's "Innocence" reveal a deep sense of resignation and despair, as the singer contemplates the harsh realities of life and the failure of humanity to uphold the values of truth, justice, and innocence. The opening lines evoke a sense of longing and frustration, as the singer yearns to see beyond the façade of the night sky and the stars that seem to mock her with their endless gaze. The imagery of passion and fear running all over her hints at the complexity of her emotions and the struggle she faces to reconcile her desires and her fears.
As the song progresses, the tone becomes more accusatory and bitter, as the singer grapples with her sense of guilt and shame. The references to falling from grace and being branded with original sin suggest a sense of religious or moral condemnation, and a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of sin and redemption. The repeated refrain of "who's gonna fight for innocence?" underscores the singer's frustration with the lack of accountability and empathy in society, and her longing for someone to step up and defend the innocent and the vulnerable.
Ultimately, "Innocence" is a powerful commentary on the human condition and the struggle to maintain hope and integrity in the face of disillusionment and despair. Through its haunting melody and insightful lyrics, the song captures the universal feeling of longing for a better world, and the need for each of us to take responsibility for our actions and work towards a brighter future.

NO DUAL
Inocência
O céu esconde o que eu queria ver
Estrelas são como olhos, elas estão observando a escuridão
Paixão e medo correm em mim
A noite é um fantasma acusando meu coração
A vida pode ser um lugar muito solitário
Eu ouço o riso enquanto eu caio em desgraça
Eu caio em desgraça agora eu estou marcada
Com o pecado original, mundo sem fim
Quem vai lutar por inocência
Quando estamos sempre
Negando a prova?
Quem vai lutar por justiça
Quando lavamos nossas mãos da verdade?
Gostaria de voltar a uma vida simples
Ser como uma criança na terra prometida
Gostaria de poder dormir quando a noite cai sobre mim
Sonhando com flores caindo das minhas mãos
Mas eu sou acordada por uma multidão enfurecida
Contra um homem cujo amor poderia me salvar agora
Me salvar agora, eu beberei o sangue
De sua coroa de dor, e eles nos chamarão loucos
Quem vai lutar por inocência
Quando estamos sempre
Negando a prova?
Quem vai lutar por justiça
Quando lavamos nossas mãos da verdade?
Quem vai lutar por inocência
Quando estamos sempre
Negando a prova?
Quem vai lutar por justiça
Quando lavamos nossas mãos da verdade?
Quem vai lutar por inocência
Quando estamos sempre
Negando a prova
Quem vai lutar por justiça
Quando lavamos nossas mãos da verdade?

Lyrics:Innocence
Deborah Blando
The sky hides what I wanna see
Stars are like eyes, they're watching the dark
Passion and fear run all over me
Night is a ghost accusing my heart
This life can be such a lonely place
I hear the laughter as I fall from grace
I fall from grace now I am branded
With original sin, world without end
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always
Denying the proof?
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of truth?
Like to go back to a simple life
Be as child in the promised land
Wish I could sleep when night comes over me
Dreaming of flowers falling out of my hands
But I'm woken by the cries of an angry crowd
Against a man whose love could save me now
Save me now, I'll drink the blood
From your crown of pain, and they'll call us insane
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always
Denying the proof?
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of truth?
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always
Denying the proof?
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of truth?
Who's gonna fight for innocence
When we're always
Denying the proof?
Who's gonna fight for justice
When we wash our hands of truth?
