Northern Lights
Paddy and the Rats Lyrics

Northern lights
The beautiful and captivating phenomenon of the aurora borealis

Made a promise
I made a commitment to someone

I'll always take care
I vow to always look after and protect them

Mesmerized by a kiss
I became enchanted and captivated by their kiss

And her shiny green hair
Their hair, with its radiant green color, fascinated me

But I can't stop the Devil,
However, I am unable to resist the temptations and sinful desires

So I couldn't stay there
Consequently, I could not remain in that relationship

I threw love away
I carelessly discarded the love we shared

Shooting in the cold, dark
Chasing fleeting moments of excitement in the chilling darkness

Chase the first time's spark
Hunting for the initial flame of passion experienced long ago

Every time we get bored and weak
Whenever we become uninterested and vulnerable

The Devil never learning
I never seem to learn my lesson and resist temptation

Looking for the burning
Seeking that intense desire and passion

It's like a grown-up hide and seek
Love feels like a complicated game of hide and seek for adults

Left you while you're dreaming
I abandoned you while you were lost in your dreams

Then put you on a sinking ship
I betrayed you and placed you in a doomed situation

To an untamed land
To an unpredictable and wild state of being

Tried to make an end run
Attempted to find an alternative route towards happiness

To take away your freedom
In the process, I unintentionally deprived you of your freedom

Put a shackle on your hand
I metaphorically restrained you from following your own path

When the night gets wild I'll slip away
In times of chaos and excitement, I will disappear

It's in my blood on every Saturday
Escaping from commitment is ingrained in me, especially on Saturdays

But when it hits me, I never gonna stay
However, even though I feel the impact of love, I can't stay

I just runaway, always runaway
I consistently choose to flee and avoid emotional attachment
