The songs deal with the death of Ela´s father, relationship problems and heartfelt sadness. A picture of real life itself – direct, emotional and very authentic.
Miracle
Elaiza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thunder in your eyes, I felt so good
And I looked up to you my silver moon
Too many good things bring you down too soon
Wake up and change our mind
We're in a miracle, in a miracle
I know you like to criticize
Of life
It's your mission to bring this too far
And take the things so whole and good apart
And like the moon my silver lady hides
You stay alone up there unsatisfied
Wake up and change our mind
We're in a miracle, in a miracle
I know you like to criticize
But you're in a miracle, in a miracle
Of life
Just slow down, enjoy the time with me
Stop running, stop running and you will see
That life is more than your routine
and you can write your own history
Wake up and change our mind
We're in a miracle, in a miracle
I know you like to criticize
But you're in a miracle, in a miracle
Of life
