Description
The night smells of punctures and adrenaline: words like buttons popping off the coat of truth, and music that seems to test the strength of patience. Here, every chorus is like a loud knock on the table: ‘crossed the line’ sounds not like a threat, but like a notification of a change in the rules of the game. The cold sound suggests that it is too late for peace of mind, and all that remains is to watch this neat chaos with a cup of strong sarcasm.
Inside is a small cathartic play: fear turns into a tactical tool, and the thirst for justice into an almost comical ritual. The ironically dry determination sounds warmer than expected: not revenge for revenge's sake, but a finale in which the voice finds its limit and calmly puts an end to it.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Today I may bleed, but tonight you will die
Snatched in your sleep, in the blackest night
You buried the truth under layers of lies
There's no return, now you've crossed the line
Push me, I push you back
Tipping point
Tipping point
Hiding your secrets out in plain sight
Dead men don't talk, and bullets don't lie
Watching the life drain out from your eyes
Crossing my heart, how I hope you will die
Push me, I push you back
Tipping point
Tipping point
I will invade your mind
Make you fear the sound of voices that aren't there
With no one else around
You try to stop the footsteps and stop the heart that beats
You will beg for silence, you will pray for peace, argh!
You won't defy me, you won't deny me
I'm at my tipping point
You won't define me, you'll never find me
I'm at my tipping point
You won't defy me, you won't deny me
I'm at my tipping point
You won't defy me, you'll never find me
I'm at my tipping point
