Lyrics and translation
Original
When
I came down the dawn poured into me.
I shook off love, the wall came crumbling.
My fists keep trembling with these salty words.
My stolen gold inside the empress' purse.
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face.
I thought the darkness never would disperse.
Could I accept and show my secret shame?
Within the comfort of such chemistry.
It's the way I see everything I need. It's my way to be.
Let this be our little secret, no one needs to know we're feeling.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
The feeling, I can feel it in the open. I can keep on climbing.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
My feet flew up in such a casual sigh.
This span of color don't make sense anymore.
The rush above me to oblivion.
Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen.
Oh, have you ever felt so damned and strong?
How come it takes some people so damn long?
These burning trees will let us choose to rise. The seekers join and the seekers stay.
While you're gazing deep as your life might end and you can't explain.
As your friends turn pale, you feel the strongest pain and you proudly show your performance mode.
Let this be our little secret, no one needs to know we're feeling.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
The feeling, I can feel it in the open. I can keep on climbing.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher. Mother, I can tell what you've been thinking.
Staring at the stars in your ceiling.
Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding.
Now I hear the mob staring at the dog and I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my skin.
Let this be our little secret, no one needs to know we're feeling. Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
The feeling, I can feel it in the open. I can keep on climbing.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
Let this be our little secret, no one needs to know we're feeling.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
The feeling, I can feel it in the open. I can keep on climbing.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
