Description
Being locked up within four walls can be worse than any curse. When the sun shines, it is not a joy but a punishment, and the only way to feel alive is to wait for darkness. Here, eternal youth turns out to be a trap, a cross around the neck is an experiment, and cemeteries are seen more often than church walls. It all sounds like teenage rebellion that has dragged on forever: with fangs for the camera, with wings that had to be cut off by oneself. And that's why the request to ‘get me out of here’ sounds not capricious, but desperate - as if every word trembles with the desire to run through the sun at least once, even if it's the last time.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I sleep against the bedroom wall
The sun comes out, and I can't do nothing at all
I swear the life I live's so boring
I don't know why they make it look so cool in stories
'Cause I can't leave 'til it's night time
And I can't drink what I want
Try to find the silver lining
But it'll kill me if I touch
And just walking in the daylight
Is something I've never done
'Cause I was born to fly
But baby, I would die to run
So
Take, take, take me out
There's so much I haven't seen
Don't let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out
I know how it's gonna end
But it's too late to turn around (hey)
I feel the heat on my skin, but I don't care if it hurts (I don't care if it hurts, I don't care if it hurts)
Yeah, I've found the fountain of youth, it turns out it's a curse (turns out it's a curse)
Damn, okay
I've seen every cemetery, never been in the church, mm
I put a cross around my neck just to find out if it burns
So
Take, take, take me out (take me out)
There's so much I haven't seen
Don't let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out (take me out)
I know how it's gonna end
But it's too late to turn around
I let my fangs show
Smile for the cameras
Cut both my wings so
No one can tell
Find me at twilight
Turning to ashes
If it's my last breath
I'm happy it's hell
Take, take, take me out (take me out)
There's so much I haven't seen
Don't let me rot inside this town
Take, take, take me out (take me out)
I know how it's gonna end
But it's too late to turn around
Hey
Yeah
'Cause I was born to fly, but baby
I would die to run
'Cause I was born to fly, but baby
I would die to run
