Translation
Bilingual
'Cause you were bred for humanity
And sold to society
One day you'll wake up
In the present day
A million generations removed from expectations
Of being who you really want to be
Skating away
Skating away
Skating away
On the thin ice of a new day
ย
So as you push off from the shore
Won't you turn your head once more
And make your peace with everyone?
ย
For those who choose to stay
Will live just one more day
To do the things they should have done
And as you cross the wilderness
Spinning in your emptiness
You feel you have to pray
ย
Looking for a sign
The universal mind
Has written you into the passion play
Skating away
Skating away
Skating away
On the thin ice of a new day
ย
And as you cross the circle line
The ice will creeps behind
You're a rabbit on the run
ย
And the silver splinters fly
In the corner of your eye
Shining in the setting sun
Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real
And in the present tense?
ย
Or that everybody's on the stage
And it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?
Skating away
Skating away
Skating away
On the thin ice of a new day
ย
Skating away
Skating away
ย
