Description

There's a special category of relationships - the kind where everything looks beautiful only on the poster. The crowns are gleaming, the poses are rehearsed, but behind it all is the cold air of the set. Here, love doesn't save, but tests: who you are without a costume, without applause, without the right words at the right moment. In this song, there's a heat that doesn't warm. A brilliance that makes you squint. And a thin, almost imperceptible smile: "You still won't have the key to the lock." Because palaces of illusions crumble at the first honest look. And beneath them are just two people tired of playing king and queen.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Every illusion has been destroyed.

Looking for love in the center of a void.

Now it's so easy to identify, that you're never gonna be the giving type.

This isn't love on a silver screen.

You want a woman, but you can't play games with me.

Na-na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na. You'll never get the key to the castle.

Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na.

You'll never get the key to the castle. We played the king and the queen of hearts.

Go get the cavalry before you show your cards. Riding away on your stallion.

Make your escape off into the winter sun.

It was something mythological.

Could've been lovers, yeah, we could've had it all.

Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na-na-na. You'll never get the key to the castle.

Na-na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na.

Don't feel a thing for you no more.

I'll let you go and lock up the door. I see right through your game, you whore.

Now I set all, set all the score. Na-na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na. You'll never get the key to the castle.

Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na.

You'll never get the key to the castle. Oh, oh, oh, oh, watch me fall. Na-na-na-na-na.

You'll never get the key to the castle.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, watch me fall. Na-na-na-na-na. You'll never get the key to the castle.
