Birds
Monika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day it started, early nineteen
They said I'm ready but still I was a kid
Promising wonders, they gave me birth, I took it slow
My family knew it, my friends were there
the mountains guided me not to be unfair
I found a place where I used to go, amazing view
But then my childhood became a past
I was a lady in front of thousand paths
I missed my best friend, I missed that lonely crazy world
With all this music and all this glow
I almost fainted, I was about to stop
But all these rhythms and melodies
were tempting my heart
Where's the line?, I asked
Where' s the moon?, you said
The years were passing, in love I fell
I wrote him lyrics, the words I couldn't tell
The circle ended, complete and pure, my second start
I made mistakes that I can' t explain
somehow I let my true feelings go away
I looked inside me, so deeply weak, I'd missed myself
And then the birds turned into a new song
Oh, God, I'm falling, I'm falling back in love
Back to my music, back to that younger crazy world
I' ll never leave you, I' ll never stop
I can't betray you, you're all I need to have
your every signal it makes me strong, it keeps me alive
Where's the line?, I asked
Where's the moon?, you said
Where's the line?
Where' s the moon?
Where's the love song I loved in the air?
Where is the love song?, I asked
Where is the moonlight? you said
Where is the sea?




Where is the sea?
Where is the true song I loved?

Τα πρώτα πλάνα ήταν στην Ελευσίνα ε? Μαγεία...
Μας χάρισες μαγικές στιγμές. Ένα συναίσθημα μέσα στον κυνισμό.
Μακάρι να μπορούσες να το επαναλάβεις. Περιμένουμε.
Θα ήθελα να γράψεις ένα δίσκο βασισμένο σε Ερωτόκριτο ή κάποιο ερωτικό έπος ίσως.
