I watch the ones who live off what they have

And I don’t believe they’re lucky, just that they know how to settle

Settling, a word I’ve never liked, never felt like mine

But tonight I want to see it differently

A gift, the ability to be content

Because if the only goal is to be happy

Then those who can settle

Are already there before me

Take a few steps away from myself

Just to see how it feels

Take a few steps away from myself

Finally watching me

There are those who must take the long road

The tortuous one, uphill, it never ends

They go far, because nothing is ever enough

And that’s the only certainty they have

Damned souls with hearts full of heartbreaking goodbyes

A melancholy they secretly love

Rising from the abyss within

Silence in the dark of the shadows

Take a few steps away from myself

Just to see how it feels

Take a few steps away from myself

Finally watching me

They find all the company they need in solitude

Destined to be alone, even among millions

Disillusioned, always dreamers

Maybe for that reason, inconsistent

Like addicts, they love their own curse

Those who inevitably destroy everything around them

Living off the selfishness that once saved their skin

Take a few steps away from myself

Just to see how it feels

Take a few steps away from myself

Finally watching me

Take a few steps away from myself

Just to see how it feels

Take a few steps away from myself

Finally watching me
