Description
The hot air seems to tremble above the asphalt, and even thoughts are too lazy to move faster than a snail. At moments like this, it's easier to surrender to the rhythm than to search for meaning. The repetitive ‘Heat’ becomes a mantra - as simple as breathing in the heat, yet hypnotic at the same time.
It seems as if the world is dissolving in pulsating fire, and the applause sounds like the reflections of a neon sign at midnight. It's either a party or a nightmare after a dinner that was too spicy. But in any case, the heat is felt every second, and there is no hiding from it, neither behind angelic words nor smiles.
The music here doesn't tell a story - it seems to become the temperature itself. When the sound fills the space, it feels like the walls are melting, and only one word remains inside, transformed into rhythm: ‘Heat.’
Lyrics and translation
Original
Well, there's an ash that burns in beauty's fire
Another fawning light lost in its night
I'm an ash that burns in beauty's fire
And I fall
And I fall upon its fragile knife
And I beg for each to take my life
For each to take my life
Each one, yeah, each and all
My Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne Duval
Anyone, yeah, each and all
For my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne Duval
My Jeanne Duval
Well, I'm a dying gasp in angel sighs
Like an autumn sky, a heart attack
Over beauty, I will scream and scream, scream
And it has not the grace to even smile back
Each one, yeah, each and all
My Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne Duval
Anyone, yeah, each and all
For my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne Duval
My Jeanne Duval
Ash speck in a green eye
One blink denies
Ash speck in a green eye
One tear defies
Each one, yeah, each and all
My Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne Duval
One and none, yeah, each and all, all
For my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne Duval
Each one, my Jeanne, my Jeanne, my Jeanne Duval
