Description

The loudest things usually start with a whisper - as if an old door creaked, and suddenly there is a whirlwind of feelings, promises and a little silly hope inside. Love here is not a romantic candlelit dinner, but rather a fire in a fireworks warehouse: beautiful, frightening and inevitable, with consequences.

There is something in the melody of late evening, when the room is dark, but no one is in a hurry to turn on the light. You just sit there, listening to your own violins ringing inside - the very ones that played before the breakup. And somewhere between ‘I still love you’ and ‘it's time to let go,’ a strange calmness is born. One mixed with regret and a quiet belief that in some other life, everything will work out without damage. Although, knowing people, that's unlikely.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Before we parted ways I heard the violins

Alone we danced while the storms rolled in

A little piece of mind for a troubled soul

That ain't prepared for a future unknown

But either way I'm on the line

For a lover's debt

And I don't even recognize the damage done

Yet

When love becomes the problem you just can't quit

It all piles up, sanity loses grip

Visions of the past make their way back 'round

We can't start over before we burn down

And either way you're on the line

Speaking of regret

But you don't even recognize the damage done

Yet

So I'll be waiting on the line

With the hope I'll get

To meet you in another life, with no damage done

Yet

English translation

Before we parted ways I heard the violins

Alone we danced while the storms rolled in

A little piece of mind for a troubled soul

That ain't prepared for a future unknown

But either way I'm on the line

For a lover's debt

And I don't even recognize the damage done

Yet

When love becomes the problem you just can't quit

It all piles up, sanity loses grip

Visions of the past make their way back 'round

We can't start over before we burn down

And either way you're on the line

Speaking of regret

But you don't even recognize the damage done

Yet

So I'll be waiting on the line

With the hope I'll get

To meet you in another life, with no damage done
