this song that explores deep themes such as emotional pain, personal growth, and rebirth. The track tells the story of the difficulty of overcoming a past relationship and the sense of inner confusion, represented by the metaphor of the “veil over the eyes,” which symbolizes the inability to clearly see oneself and reality.
At the same time, the song expresses a strong desire for change: through vulnerability and the acceptance of one’s flaws, a journey of self-awareness and the will to fully live again emerges.
Song:
Now how do I tell my best friend
That I got hurt, I didn’t listen to him until I lost my hearing?
How do I tell the lady at the bakery
Who asks me if I’m okay, why I’m not smiling today?
Even if I smile, I laugh
You say there’s a veil over my eyes, eyes
But I won’t break until you touch me
Until you touch me
Sugar threads hanging from the ceiling
They’re the curtain of my labyrinth
Maybe this is the end of my first act, ah-ah-ah
Now I just want to live, uh-uh-uh-uh-ah
Now I just want to live, uh-uh-uh-uh
Now I just want to
Now, now, hey
Now I just want to
Now, now, now
Now how do I tell Angelina?
She should have forgiven herself, she became a killer
She walks with rounded tips forever, by flaw
And giving everything isn’t the same as receiving love
And I’ll play with my cards on the table
I won’t lie anymore
And I’ll become a strong woman
But while I open and close the fridge, fridge
You say there’s a veil over my eyes, eyes
Like brides in front of mirrors, in front of mirrors
Sugar threads hanging from the ceiling
They’re the ending of my first act
Now I just want to live, uh-uh-uh-uh-ah
Now I just want to live, uh-uh-uh-uh
Now I want to wake up at four
Mess everything up and then
Die of boredom
And I want to go out in slippers
Do a thousand stupid things I haven’t done yet
I want to scream at a concert
But without the fear that silence will come after
I want to touch my body and feel that I exist
Inside every flaw, inside every flaw
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, mmh, now I just want to
Now I just want to live
