Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Between a broken nose and a fake smile
Between piety and gunpowder
Between fighting and fleeing the scene
Between murder and diplomacy
Between aggression and oblivion
Between brutal and realistically well-behaved
Between screaming and pulling in the reins
Between tiptoeing and ambling
ย
What am I to do with all this fire?
(I'd like to hit you but I would never hit you)
Would you stay with me in this red space?
(I'd like to slap you but I would never slap you)
ย
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between "f*ck you" to your face and "it's alright"
Between war and denial
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between "f*ck you" to your face and "it's alright"
Between war and denial
ย
Between flying vases and secretly weeping
Between loose cannons and ever downplaying
Between bruises and rudely differing
Between bursting and boiling
ย
What am I to do with all this burning?
(I'd like to hurt you but I could never hurt you)
Do I overwhelm you in this place?
(I'd like to kill you but I could never kill you)
ย
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between "f*ck you" to your face and "it's alright"
Between war and denial
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between "f*ck you" to your face and "it's alright"
Between war and denial
ย
What am I to do with all this fire?
Can you understand me in this place?
