awerysopelea - Why Is There Something

كلمات الأغنية

[Intro – distant piano, soft guitar harmonics] Oh-oh… Are we awake? Oh-oh… Or dreaming wide awake? [Verse 1 – intimate] Moonlight over traffic lights Heaven in a Friday night Everybody running fast Like forever couldn't last Maybe God is in the radio Maybe nobody knows Maybe every little light we see Is somewhere we are meant to be [Pre-Chorus – building] I don't need an answer I just wanna feel it move Something underneath us Something pulling me to— [Chorus – SUDDENLY HUGE] LIIIIIFE— Why is there something instead of nothing tonight? Why do we fall? Why do we love? Why do we look for the light? HEEEEY— If we're only dust then let the dust come alive I don't need to know where forever goes I just wanna feel it FEEL IT FEEL IT TONIGHT [Post-Chorus – big wordless hook] Oh-oh-oh, OOOOH We are alive Oh-oh-oh, OOOOH For a little while [Verse 2 – groove returns] Numbers written on the wall Still we cannot name it all Every answer opens doors To another thousand more Atoms dancing underneath my skin Where do I end? Where do you begin? All these little eyes look up At a universe that never answers us [Pre-Chorus – stronger] Maybe that's the answer Maybe wonder is enough Something underneath us Keeps on pulling us— [Chorus] LIIIIIFE— Why is there something instead of nothing tonight? Why do we fall? Why do we love? Why do we look for the light? HEEEEY— If we're only dust then let the dust come alive I don't need to know where forever goes I just wanna feel it FEEL IT FEEL IT TONIGHT [Instrumental – emotional melodic electric guitar, piano underneath, violin slowly joins] [Bridge – EVERYTHING CUTS OUT] Why… [2 seconds complete silence] [one isolated piano note] …anything? [breath] [distant violin harmonic] If nothing was easier… [almost whispered] why are we here? [complete silence] [FINAL CHORUS – INSTANT EXPLOSION] LIIIIIFE— WHY IS THERE SOMETHING INSTEAD OF NOTHING TONIGHT? Why do we break? Why do we heal? Why do we reach for the light? HEEEEY— Maybe we're dust but look at us burning so bright I don't need to know where forever goes— I'M HERE YOU'RE HERE WE'RE ALIVE [Final Post-Chorus – huge layered vocals] Oh-oh-oh, OOOOH WE ARE ALIVE Oh-oh-oh, OOOOH FOR A LITTLE WHILE [Outro – suddenly intimate again, acoustic guitar + piano] Maybe that's enough… [distant violin] …tonight.
