Melancholic feat. Sanna Lundin - Lost Love
1st Verse
The chick sittin’ on the seat beside me/
reminds me of a girl that I once knew/
Memories were buried deep inside me/
Kids still believin’ dreams could come true/
We were innocent, I just couldn’t get/
why they hate my playmate/
Apparently, she posed a threat/
It amazed us all when they raised a wall/
to protect us from her people/
Playtime’s over, now we’re enemies/
Man, I thought that we were equal/
It’s easy to forget when we beef/
Two foes that can’t keep a friend/
Who knows, maybe we’ll meet again…/
I…
daydream a lot to escape the reality/
It took some time to create this insanity/
Livin’ in fear, just waitin’ for/
another attack to shock the nation/
So many tears, we can’t ignore/
what started this crap: the occupation/
This inherited conflict goes way back/
Before we were born, some say that/
it’s ironic how we became the oppressor/
We blame the aggressor and we fight ’em back/
Guess it ain’t that easy to rewrite a map/
I know the risk, still I take the bus/
Is it too late for us to co-exist?/
Man, I really don’t know…
Every night I wake up in cold sweat/
I’m still young, but feel like an old vet/
I’m havin’ nightmares, I’m traumatized/
I get flashbacks from the homicide/
When I found out the truth, I threw up/
The terrorist hide-out that we blew up/
turned out to be ”collateral damage”/
A man, a woman, and three children/
Left the army ’cos I couldn’t manage/
to do my job after we killed ’em…/
The pills my shrink gave me are not workin’/
I doubt this pain will ever stop hurtin’/
It’s really bad…/ What’s up with her?/
She looks really sad…/
( - Hey, what’s wrong?)
(*EXPLOSION*)
(*Rewinding*)
2nd Verse
The guy sittin’ on the seat beside me/
looks like a boy that I used to know/
It brings back memories deep inside me/
I looked for any excuse to go/
to our special place by the olive trees/
Those were the days, we were at ease/
We were kids and couldn’t see the harm/
Told my parents they shouldn’t be alarmed/
I can still recall the feelin’ when I/
discovered that they built a wall/
No farewells allowed/ The beef is on/
No peace for long/ Tell me how/
they expect me to defeat a friend?/
Who knows, maybe we’ll meet again…/
These conditions are inhumane/
My people have been through pain/
And still sufferin’ because of them…
This inherited conflict goes way back/
Before we were born, some say that/
it’s funny how easy we forget the past/
Not too long ago they were harassed/
Persecuted, discriminated/
Even worse: annihilated/
So they received their share of hate/
How could they declare their state/
when we already lived here…?
Religion makin’ us a rival/
We’re both fightin’ for survival…/
Some days I wish… Forget it/
There’s no future in a place like this/
Surrounded by the wall our neighbours build/
I miss my family, they were killed/
All I have left is hate in my heart/
Oh, God! I’m breakin’ apart/
I can’t do this… Yes, I can!/
The passengers can never guess my plan/
Under the jacket, strapped to my chest/
Yeah, I’m goin’ out with a bang/
Give ’em another attack to digest/
I want ’em to suffer, feel my pain/
The media gonna reveal my name/ (But)
All they can do is speculate, ’cos/
they ignore who helped create us/
( - Hey, what’s wrong?) Cause and effect…/
(*EXPLOSION*)
You don't think rational when you're lovesick
The heart convince the brain that the glove fit
