Haunted
Stream Of Passion (featuring Ayreon) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caminando en silencio
Apuro mis pasos
Para dejar todo atràs
Busco en la soledad
El espacio para olvidar
Esa voz que me atormenta
(Entire days I spend walking in silence
In solitude I search for a space
To forget that voice that haunts me)
I live in fear
When the shadows reappear
Unleashing all their might
I never thought
I'd face the demons on my own
Make it stop!
Haunted, hunted
Un suspiro que penetra mi alma
Un pensamiento constante e hiriente
Sé que estás ahi, aunque no puedo verte,
Nunca he podido escapar
Del yugo de tus ojos
(A whisper that digs into my soul,
a constant and upsetting thought
I know you're there, even though I can't see you
I was never able to escape from
Your cruel eyes)
With every breath I take
My heart beats faster
No matter how hard I try to unwind
Tears keep falling from my eyes
Haunted, hunted
I'm down on my knees
Forever I'll mourn
The loss of my innocence
