Everything Has to Fade – Lacuna Coil lyrics
from the album “Karmacode”
FRAGILE
What? Damn, you’re right!
Dare is about obsession, it’s something inside, wounds are bleeding in my hands.
Turning blind, no one will ever stop this self-made decline, nothing really matters.
(He’s watching me.)
What if I look away and deal with it? Digging in my grave, I won’t deny it.
Fragile, my crystal ball shattered on the ground.
What? Damn, you’re right!
Learn is about rejection, there’s nothing to hide, wounds are healing in my hands.
Turning blind, no one will ever scratch my own state of mind, nothing really matters.
(He’s watching me.)
What if I look away and deal with it? Digging in my grave, I won’t deny it.
Fragile, my crystal ball shattered on the ground.
TO THE EDGE
Here I start to define it as a sign on my skin that I just try to wash away,
Reminder, infected, it’ll be painful to me.
Life is so short, close to the edge of another back door, life is so sure, life will be ready to twist up your world.
Here it starts to enlighten, there’s a frame I can’t change that I just have to watch again.
Reminder, repressed inside me, it keeps repeating.
Life is so short, close to the edge of another back door, life is so sure, life will be ready to twist up your world.
OUR TRUTH
Clock is ticking while I’m killing time, spinning all around, nothing else that you can do to turn it back.
Wicked partnership in this crime, ripping off the best condescending smile.
Trying to forget, we’re falling right through, lying to forget we’re raising our truth.
(Wasting my time, telling me more lies.)
Go on and tease me.
Clock is ticking while I’m stealing time, can’t you turn it back, stop the cycle, let it free and run away?
Silent, sneaking along my path, rugged the road, but we feel it like we’re flying.
Trying to forget, we’re falling right through, lying to forget we’re raising our truth.
(Wasting my time, telling me more lies.)
WITHIN ME
Something about you that makes me feel bad, I wasn’t there when a thin line destroyed your soul.
I search every corner, there’s nowhere to hide, how I feel ignorance,
Sacrifice, some days it’s harder, let’s face it, it’s all about me, deeply into your own.
Deep within me, life’s crawling and wasting my days,
Another night gone and I know there will be another way.
I’m leading myself to be free in this eternal goodbye.
Something about you will make me stronger,
Now I’m aware when a man falls rebound, my fault.
I search every corner, just nowhere to hide, how I feel ignorance,
Sacrifice, some days it’s harder, let’s face it, it’s all about me, deeply into your own.
Deep within me, life’s crawling and wasting my days,
Another night gone and I know there will be another way.
I’m leading myself to be free in this eternal goodbye.
Here I want to be, no more lies.
DEVOTED
I’ll be there when there’s nothing left, night and day holding you,
Harmony deep inside your soul, meet me there.
Can you feel me deep inside?
There’s no time to deny that I’ll need you and I’ll be there to inhale your delightful day,
There’s no time to deny I will need you, that’s why I’ll be there to relieve your painful day.
Hiding well where the pain is real, night and day growing in you,
Anger is poison in your veins, meet me there.
Can you feel me deep inside?
There’s no time to deny that I’ll need you and I’ll be there to inhale your delightful day,
There’s no time to deny I will need you, that’s why I’ll be there to relieve your painful day.
YOU CREATE
Hope seizes the invisible, achieves the impossible.
If you look up, there are no limits.
WHAT I SEE
Hear what I say, I’m gonna get out of my mind,
Where I’m going to be on your way, your spirit is crawling after, will I disappear?
Everything dies, nothing to worry about, everything goes on.
I just don’t know why everything has to go away, I just don’t know why everything has to fade away.
I cannot escape, there’s nothing more I can do, I just don’t know why do I need you?
See what I see, I’m gonna get out of my mind,
What am I going to (no more, no more),
I’m ready to go serene to find there’s nothing to hold to reach you.
Everything dies, nothing to worry about, everything goes on.
I just don’t know why everything has to go away, I just don’t know why everything has to fade away.
I cannot escape, there’s nothing more I can do, I just don’t know why do I need you?
FRAGMENTS OF FAITH
It’s not the way to cross the faith, the promise has been broken,
My disease everlasting, let me bleed forever.
I have to wait, come and get me, lost in here, I’m nothing,
Tie my hands, let me feel alive one more time.
Where is the pain? Somewhere down.
Can you feel it? Don’t you know there is no time?
My halo fades, sin is calling, the promise has been stolen,
My disease everlasting, let me dream forever.
My soul to take, come and get it, lost in here, I’m nothing,
Tie my hands, let me feel alive one more time.
Where is the pain? Somewhere down.
Can you feel it? Don’t you know there is no time?
Never let it go.
CLOSER
Want to get closer, in too deep, where there is something I wish for,
I’ll go through, want to get closer into you.
No hell to discover, I’ve got it all inside myself.
Salvation you have preached is gone, no way you can’t turn it around.
Looking for a higher ground, searching for this something missed before.
From a higher ground, will I fall in a right direction?
(Higher, searching for more).
Falling apart, there’s nothing real that will convince me to change,
But I’ll go through, want to get closer into you.
No hell to discover, there is just nothing to betray.
Salvation you have preached is gone, no way you can’t turn it around.
Looking for a higher ground, searching for this something missed before.
From a higher ground, will I fall in a right direction?
(Higher, searching for more.)
IN VISIBLE LIGHT
How can time still drain every little beat of my heart?
In my time of need I want to destroy anything you are.
Grief is the light, I can’t deny I’m afraid of you, grief is the light, I’m not afraid to deny.
What have you ever denied?
Because you’re just the one that had it all while I’m just the dice in your hands, and no, it’s not easy.
Grief is the light, I can’t deny I’m afraid of you, grief is the light, I’m not afraid to deny.
Will I suffer in vain? You’re feeding all my fears, I cannot escape, you’re here in my head.
THE GAME
Will I just tell you to give up? No matter how, you’ll play this game,
But I can handle the sorrow, whatever, time is running out.
(You don’t know why, I will know when, what I am going to do.)
You wonder why, our last goodbye, it’s relieving my tears, it’s so easy.
I won’t deny life changed my mind.
Will I be such a dreamer? No matter how, I’ll play this game,
To get is symptom of giving, whatever, time is over now.
(You don’t know why, I will know when, what I am going to do.)
You wonder why, our last goodbye, it’s relieving my tears, it’s so easy.
I won’t deny life changed my mind.
WITHOUT FEAR
Se in un uomo fragile, nuove risposte tardano ad affiorare,
Invisibile, distante, è inevitabile, inevitabile risveglio.
Dentro di me non c’è niente, di fede immobile più niente.
Here I am, I’m giving myself to you without fear.
Invisibili distanze, è inevitabile, ricordano un addio per sempre.
Dentro di me non c’è niente, di fede immobile più niente.
(English translation)
ENJOY THE SILENCE
Words like violence break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world.
Painful to me, pierce right through me, can’t you understand, oh my little girl?
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms.
Words are very unnecessary; they can only do harm.
Vows are spoken to be broken, feelings are intense, words are trivial.
Pleasures remain, so does the pain, words are meaningless and forgettable.
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms.
Words are very unnecessary; they can only do harm.
Enjoy the silence.
from the album "Shallow Life"
SURVIVE
Sometimes I feel alone in a million crowd, an outsider wandering alone without any words to say,
They can't explain this power to overcome the pain, feel the breath that's always getting away.
Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid.
I'll survive in this nothing, leading nowhere; I survive, feeling strong for how much longer?
The voice inside of me that keeps on teasing, as sweet as like a whisper from the lips of pain,
And so many steps that I can't make, I can't take the chance, release the brake, and the breath just keeps on getting away.
Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid.
I'll survive in this nothing, leading nowhere; I survive, feeling strong for how much longer?
I WON'T TELL YOU
I cannot tell you you're falling apart, open your eyes if you want to survive.
I want to tell you your love is a lie, but I won't tell you.
I can't leave this, I am fine inside it, I don't feel bliss and I just keep hiding.
I've been burnt so bad but I still play with fire, sometimes naked truth is what I don't believe in.
I cannot tell you you're falling apart, open your eyes if you want to survive.
I want to tell you your love is a lie, but I won't tell you.
I cannot get so deep into this now, I can't admit that I know what I know,
And I want to tell you your love is a lie, I won't tell you.
It's hard to hear through the static again, it's never clear until the rush of pain.
I'll never tell you I'm living a lie, in this confusion I feel alive.
I've been burnt so bad but I still play with fire, sometimes naked truth is what I can't believe in.
I cannot tell you you're falling apart, open your eyes if you want to survive.
I want to tell you your love is a lie, but I won't tell you.
I cannot get so deep into this now, I can't admit that I know what I know,
And I want to tell you your love is a lie, I won't tell you.
Don't ever tell me I'm falling apart, don't ever tell me I will not survive,
Don't ever tell me this love is a lie, cause I am the lie, I am the liar.
NOT ENOUGH
I don't want to be saved, I want to go down with you, together we will find a way to come back.
I don't want to be safe, I want to go down with you, together we will find a way to come back.
I thought it was too late, I thought you disappeared, it's been a while since I believed in you.
I used to have the strength, I used to just walk away, but now that I see you, it's not enough.
I don't want to be safe, I want to go down with you, together we will find a way to come back.
I'm falling once again, I'm following the way, nothing's changed since I believed in you.
I knew that it would come, I thought that I'd be afraid, but now that I have you, it's not enough.
I don't want to be safe, I want to go down with you, together we will find a way to come back.
Forgotten fears, I throw away all of the caution out into the wind.
My soul is thirsty and I'm still dreaming of you, get out of my mind.
I don't want to be safe, I want to go down with you, together we will find a way to come back.
I don't want to be safe, I want to give into you, together we will find a way to come back.
I'M NOT AFRAID
Watch your back because I am coming closer, shivers down your spine, you were not expecting me.
How does it feel to be faced in your territory, are you afraid to see me here?
I'm not afraid to take my time, to live my life the way I want to,
I'm not afraid to take you down and live my life as I want to, I'm not afraid.
Closer but apart, no one else can hear us, get out of that car, did you want to leave without me?
How does it feel to be faced in your territory, are you surprised to see me here?
I'm not afraid to take my time, to live my life the way I want to,
I'm not afraid to take you down and live my life as I want to, I'm not afraid.
I LIKE IT
Everything is different today, I like it; I feel very different today, I like it.
I'm not gonna be in your parade cause I don't like it, you think I'm a dirty little game, you think I like it.
You made up this fantasy with me but I don't like it, I want you to get away from me, that's how I like it, how do you like it?
Today I'm gonna fly, there's nothing that can keep me on the ground, touch the sky, I'm free inside.
You think you're the master, I'm the slave, you think I like it; you don't even know me anyway, that's how I like it.
I am getting ready to move on but you don't like it, you can kiss your fairy tale away, I like it, how do you like it?
Today I'm gonna fly, there's nothing that can keep me on the ground, touch the sky, I'm free inside.
I'm free to do what I like, I'm celebrating my life, I'm free to be what I like, I'm celebrating my life,
I'm gonna get what I like, gonna celebrate til I die, I'm celebrating my life.
UNDERDOG
You are going down.
Down at the bottom I have found I cannot wait to get back in the fight and send you straight to the ground.
Hide and seeking, when I'm on the ropes you want to knock me down, knock me out, your cheap shots are denied.
You're going down now, you can't kill my soul and kill my dream, back down.
You are going down.
Now, you will understand me now, you don't want to come back to the fight, I've been the underdog all my life.
I can feel it, I will not stop until I see you down on the ground, cause I am still alive.
You're going down now, you can't kill my soul and kill my dream, back down.
THE PAIN
I wake up to a smoking gun, the evidence is in your head, there's no proof of guilt or innocence.
I'm finished with you taking me through a line of questioning that feeds you, I must confess I'm here to kill the pain.
What can I do (to kill the pain), how hard I fight (to kill the pain), no matter how long I've tried.
The sword of justice in your hand, you cut me down, sharp like a blade, you make me want to never trust again.
I'm finished with you dragging me through more lies and deceit that feeds you, I must confess I'm here to kill the pain.
What can I do (to kill the pain), how hard I fight (to kill the pain), no matter how long I've tried.
Doesn't matter, if it mattered I would never have tried to save us both from losing our minds.
Doesn't matter if you shatter me now, I have to get away.
The rain comes, nothing's gonna buy you time, the rain comes, you know its gonna come.
SPELLBOUND
Burning here in my room, feeling that the walls are moving closer.
Sight and seen, the dark takes me, leads me to the ending of another day, I'm haunted.
Tell me who you are, I am spellbound, you cannot have this control on me.
Everywhere I go I am spellbound, I will break the spell you put on me.
Velvet drapes, glowing candles, silent whispers of words inside of my head.
The night that comes, it waits for me, leads me to the ending of another day, I'm haunted.
Tell me who you are, I am spellbound, you cannot have this control on me.
Everywhere I go I am spellbound, I will break the spell you put on me.
WIDE AWAKE
The rebel inside, a mind of my own, I haven't felt right since the moment that I gave up.
I challenged my limits, I'm feeling I'm becoming limitless, I take it all in and inhale.
I'm wide awake, open my eyes and the sky's so blue all of a sudden.
I know that I treasure my life, I find myself wide awake like you.
The struggle within, now I understand, freedom begins when you get out of the cage you built.
It looks like I'm crazy but I'm not the only one to believe in myself, I won't be coming undone cause I feel like
I'm wide awake, open my eyes and the sky's so blue all of a sudden.
I know that I treasure my life, I find myself wide awake like you.
THE MAZE
My thoughts can be so vicious, committed to a plan; the fear becomes ambitious, taking me til I am gone.
I don't know how it started, beating up myself, I've come to realise I barely carry on each day.
This life is so destructive, it's blowing out my mind, my breath is running short, I'm lost here deep inside.
(In this maze) I'm running through the halls of emptiness, I can't find a way to get back to the end.
(In this maze) I'm feeling like I'm stuck inside a cage, I won't feel the breeze til I break this maze and run.
I don't know how it started, thinking to myself, I've come to realise I couldn't carry on each day.
This vibe is so destructive, I'm smoking up my mind, so by the time she left I was lost here deep inside.
(In this maze) I'm running through the halls of emptiness, I can't find a way to get back to the end.
(In this maze) I'm feeling like I'm stuck inside a cage, I won't feel the breeze til I break this maze and run.
Will I ever see the sun shining through the prison cloud?
In the darkness you can hide, go inside, free your mind.
UNCHAINED
Unchained.
There is nothing up ahead or down the road, the streets won't last forever, there is nothing left to lose.
I cannot see myself inside this dream, I know nothing lasts forever.
Unchained, I'm like a bullet set free now, unchained, I'm like a weapon unleashed now.
Now I've found my way to solid ground, I left behind the feeling that I've been a fool.
I feel much stronger now, I am not the same, you know nothing lasts forever.
Unchained, I'm like a bullet set free now, unchained, I'm like a weapon unleashed now.
SHALLOW LIFE
I never thought I'd be the soldier, I take my place inside the battle.
I've come to realise the journey's over, realise that life is sober.
Every day I'm like a soldier waking up within the battle,
And through the haze I live a dream that's better than what I feel inside, digging in me.
Suffering darkness in my eyes against the light of Rome, I see the reflection of the ghost that I've become.
Waiting behind the windows I resign to be alone, I want to feel alone and lost in this solitude.
Shallow life, I'll stay close to the ground, shallow life, the walls keep falling down,
I close my eyes, I'll find my way around in the shallow life.
Welcome to the bottom line.
Suffering darkness in my eyes against the night of Rome, I get confused and all I hear is just myself.
I will resign and search for peace of mind, I'm on my own, I need to be alone and lost in this solitude.
Shallow life, I'll stay close to the ground, shallow life, the walls keep falling down,
I close my eyes, I'll find my way around in the shallow life.
