Description
Sometimes love is like construction - you think you're building a house, but you end up with a wall. Brick by brick, word by silence, and now you can't hear a breath or a heartbeat behind this concrete. It's still beautiful, even, and reliable - just cold, like in a stairwell at night. The song is like a last attempt to reach someone who has walled himself off. There's weariness in her, but not anger. There's still tenderness there, just tired, with the aftertaste of a sleepless night and a quiet admission: "I'm not saving anymore." It sounds like love that didn't die - it just froze, becoming a concrete angel.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I believed that you were the one.
But you're fading like the rest.
I'm so tired of chasing ghosts.
Drowning in their love pretense.
I just want to,
I just want to stay around.
Hear our heartbeats, I swear I won't let you down.
If you keep stacking these walls.
Stone by stone 'til they stand tall.
Soon I won't see you at all.
My concrete angel.
I knew your soul from the start.
But now you're breaking apart.
Soon there'll be nothing at all. My concrete angel.
Open up your eyes.
It doesn't mean you're weak.
You don't trust yourself and that's why you don't trust me.
It drives me crazy how I'm crazy for you.
Don't speak, you only see the surface, not the truth.
If you keep stacking these walls.
Stone by stone 'til they stand tall.
Soon I won't see you at all.
My concrete angel.
I knew your soul from the start.
But now you're breaking apart.
Soon there'll be nothing at all.
My concrete angel. Wall in my head
I can't break through. I don't see the world the way you do. No treasure to find.
Your heart's locked and bruised.
I'm done with getting over you.
I'm done with getting over you.
If you keep stacking these walls.
Stone by stone 'til they stand tall.
Soon I won't see you at all.
My concrete angel.
I knew your soul from the start.
But now you're breaking apart.
Soon there'll be nothing at all. My concrete angel.
Open up your eyes.
It doesn't mean you're weak.
You don't trust yourself and that's why you don't trust me.
It drives me crazy how I'm crazy for you.
Don't speak, you only see the surface, not the truth.
If you keep stacking these walls.
Stone by stone 'til they stand tall.
Soon I won't see you at all.
My concrete angel.
I knew your soul from the start.
But now you're breaking apart.
Soon there'll be nothing at all.
My concrete angel.
If you keep stacking these walls.
Stone by stone 'til they stand tall.
Soon I won't see you at all.
My concrete angel.
I knew your soul from the start.
But now you're breaking apart.
Soon there'll be nothing at all.
My concrete angel.
