Everywhere
there's powder in the air
Smell the deep despair
and feel that you're deflating
Realise
You're skating on thin ice
constructed by the lies
that once emerged as promises in your eyes
This is no fairytale
Leave
New Year's Eve
Back to triviality
Trace
the commonplace
Break out to reality
Make it heard
Release the chewed-up word
Don't you get disturbed
by the scenic backdrop
Now's your chance
Eluding in advance
the pyrotechnic trance
Before the burning matches reach your hands
This is no fairytale
Leave
New Year's Eve
Back to triviality
Chase
the commonplace
Break out to reality
and when the town lights up
the shadows will grow stronger
smouldering inside
a perfect place to hide
Leave
New Year's Eve
Your own responsibility
Embrace
the commonplace
Break out to reality
