PRECIOUS, LIVE ON

Bye, gleaming dream

Good night, bright star of the night

I'll let you rest, sleep tight

I'm loosening my grip, I'll let you fleet

 

I'll let you fly like a flower petal,

will give up, will divide my road from you

I'll cut between us the creation,

the strongest connection, out of metal

 

I'll give up on what keeps me powerful,

I'll let it go, amidst the rough storm

My body left frozen, my soul lost,

My heart robbed, but my mind is full

 

Since there's no place for us

Since we don't belong here

Since this world puts us as the last

Since for our love I need to shed tears

 

Because the space we're moving in is cold,

so cold it freezes our warmth

Because this dark abyss we were thrown into

is constantly trying to get rid of our glow

 

Because of it all, I should let you go,

set you free, so you can fly

Stab myself with a dagger to protect you

so you'll land on the safest of soils

 

And trust me, I would

It's exactly what my heart aches for -

Your unbeatable purity,

your powerful fragility

How it shines both in rains and storms,

how easily it guides me home

My living dream, my breathing spark

- to keep you safe, your strengh forever present

 

For all that, I shall let you go,

let you rest until the sky is clear,

Until walking is as light as sleeping feels

Until on the Earth is less dirt

 

Because, my Precious,

any other version of the world

is not worthy of you,

is not worthy of our shared battle

 

But you and I, we both know that I won't

Because my pride is also hidden in you,

even my confidence springs from you

You are my world and I breathe life into you

 

It is like a symbiosis me and you,

you show me pictures that for the most are invisible,

I add majestic and magnetic rhythm to you

You paint for me, I compose you

 

Two artists one for me, the other for you 

They create each other,

they make one another beautiful

 

If there is someone, then it has to be us

Us, thanks to who the light leads and darkness only follows

We have the power to change the world

 

Because in this world, there is nothing more true

You wouldn't find such sincerity in any other connection

No other wisdom that serves, rather than commands,

and still does not submit to judgement, but teaches where others lack thoughts

 

It is me and you,

who add colour to this black-and-white world

To let you go would mean to give up on colour

It would mean to see only the muddy shades of the pallete in this orb

 

But even a child that learns colours

then fails to not see the rainbow,

Even when a bird learns how to fly,

it refuses to walk the ground

 

Although sharp wind would blow,

although others would persuade it that grey is blue,

Even if the surroundings try to suffocate the fire in my soul,

even if they might try to restrict my vision, even if they can't stand me being true

 

It is not me and it is not you,

It is you in me and me in you

It is us on this limited and hypocritical road

And it will always be us side by side, against the misunderstandings and thrown knives

 

Even if I feel like they have drown me,

your hold will always keep me on the surface.

May they try to take you away from me,

I will respond with a tightened grip even if it has to be in mist.
