Description
Like a dream on the verge of awakening: images blur, but feelings remain so vivid that they cannot be confused with reality. The music flows softly, like dim light through blinds, and the words whisper of a closeness that does not exist and will never be enough. Here, the longing is not loud, but quiet - like a lingering sigh that dissolves into the twilight.

Lyrics and translation
Original
I wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you, and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then its smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you

Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then its smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew
