Str8 To North-East Lights
Helia Lyrics

I watch my life fading away
I feel like my life is slipping away from me and coming to an end

Like the sun at dusk
Just like the sunset marks the end of the day, I feel like my life is coming to an end

And all the love you gave to me
I am aware of the love you have given me in the past

Is still alive, oh god
The love you have given me still exists and is very real to me

Yes I promised to be strong
I made a promise to stay strong despite all that is happening

But what should I do now?
I am at a loss for what to do next

Walking with my head up high always looking for that (light)
Even though I am lost and unsure, I am still holding my head high, searching for a way out and hoping for a brighter future

And everything I had
All that I used to have in life

Now is nothing but a dream
Now it feels like it was all just a dream

And all my thoughts go straight to north-east Lights
All my thoughts and hopes are directed towards the north-east lights, a metaphor for a bright future

So now what should I do?
I am still unsure of my next steps

Shine like a star in the sky
You still shine like a star in my eyes

But I can't see you
But I can no longer see you clearly and that makes me sad

Take a look in the mirror
I am looking at myself in the mirror

And tell me what you see...
And I am asking myself to take a close look and try to understand who I really am

And every time I see you
Every time I see you now

You steal my breath
You literally take my breath away

And these walls seem to fall
All the walls that I've built around me come crashing down

And every time I see you I still burn
Even though I feel like everything has fallen apart, I still feel passionately about you

I still burn
My desire and passion for you still burn brightly within me

I still burn
The intensity of my feelings for you has not diminished

I still burn
Even though I am fading away, my love for you still burns strong
