Like a mad man goes to throw at sea
Empty bottles, hoping maybe
Somebody can read through them
The SOS written with some air,
To tell you that I feel alone,
I am drawing, in blank ink, a desert.
And I run, I'm hanging on to life,
I'm getting drunk on the noise
Of the bodies around me,
Just like creepers tied in braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words that I throw.
It's not easy to call for help,
Drowned in so many tragedies,
And the teardrops tangled with stress
Smother a bit more the cries of love
Of the ones who live in weakness
And, in a final hope, dissolve.
And I run, I'm hanging on to life,
I'm getting drunk on the noise
Of the bodies around me,
Just like creepers tied in braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words that I throw.
Chorus:
Every cry, each SOS
Vanishes in the air,
Leaving, in the water, a trace
Made so beautiful by its foams.
Caught in their vessel of glass,
The messages struggle
But the waves do bring them back
As stardust upon the rocks.
And I picked up the splinters,
Put the pieces back together.
Everything was clear as water,
There's no winning against the past.
The heroes ought to be replaced
In a world where the best is
Yet to be done.
And I run, I'm hanging on to life,
I'm getting drunk on the noise
Of the bodies around me,
Just like creepers tied in braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words that I throw.
Chorus: (x2)
Every cry, each SOS
Vanishes in the air,
Leaving, in the water, a trace
Made so beautiful by its foams.
Caught in their vessel of glass,
The messages struggle
But the waves do bring them back
As stardust upon the rocks.
