What Can I Do?
Symbols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suddenly your face has disappeared
In front my eyes
The light that cheers my soul
Fill in the emptiness of my heart
My pride stays alive
I can't release my emotions
So now it's time to open all the doors
Across the fear
I feel that I can win
I wanna live
I wanna fly
To recover all my dreams
High like an eagle
Eagles flying to the sky
So long
I need to find again my hope

Lonely nights again
I am feeling alone and isolated at night
Suddenly your face has disappeared
The image of someone I care about has disappeared from my mind
In front my eyes
This disappearance is happening right in front of my eyes
The light that cheers my soul
Something that brings me happiness and joy
Fill in the emptiness of my heart
It helps me feel less lonely and sad
My pride stays alive
I still have my self-respect and confidence
I don't believe in love no more
I have lost faith in romantic love
I can't release my emotions
I am holding in my feelings
So now it's time to open all the doors
It's time to be more open and vulnerable
Across the fear
Despite my fear
I feel that I can win
I have a chance at success
I wanna live
I want to really experience life
I wanna fly
I want to be free and unrestricted
To recover all my dreams
To regain my sense of purpose and ambition
High like an eagle
To feel empowered and above it all
Eagles flying to the sky
The sense of freedom and possibility that soaring eagles represent
So long
It has been a while
I need to find again my hope
I need to rediscover my optimism and positivity
