Lyrics and translation
Original
Unbelievable tension, wall of sound
No real reason, and I can't escape it
Unbelievable tension, wall of sound
Monolithic, so I'm gonna stay still
'Cause every time I try talkin' myself backwards
Away from my desires, something inside stops me, oh
Every time I try, something inside stops me, yeah
I, yeah
Every time I try (every time I try) talkin' myself backwards
Away from my desires (away from my desi-), something inside me stops me, oh
Every time I try (every time I try), something inside me stops me, yeah
I, yeah
Unbelievable pressure, wall of sound
Love and hatred, and I can't escape it
Tell me you hear it, that wall of sound
Growing louder, so I'm gonna stay still
'Cause every time I try talkin' myself backwards
Away from my desires, something inside stops me, oh
Every time I try, something inside stops me, yeah
I, yeah
Every time I try (every time I try) talkin' myself backwards
Away from my desires (away from my desi-), something inside me stops me, oh
Every time I try (every time I try), something inside me stops me, yeah
I, yeah
Tell me that you love me, tell me that you need me
You're what keeps me breathin', keeps my heart beatin'
Tell me that you love me, tell me that you need me
Tell me that you need me, oh
Unbelievable tension, wall of sound
Love and hatred, and I can't escape it
Unbelievable tension, wall of sound
Monolithic, so I'm gonna stay still
