Aquarium

I was walking through the Palace of Mirrors

In the city of Luzern

I was looking at my own face

A 1000 times turning with every turn

The eyes of my child like a school of fishes

In the aquarium

Were looking at me from another world

From a world to come

She said: "Bring me the light

The light that was shining on the tree outside

Bring me the rain that was falling

On my shoulders on a summer night"

I thought nobody died, but it's not true

We die, there's no escape

Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

I was walking through the empty rooms

Of the house we'd left behind

I heard the voice of my child going up

The stairs in the pale moonlight

There were words like raindrops

Words like snowflakes falling down

Falling down from another world

A world to come

She said: "Bring me the song

That was in my head when I fell asleep

Bring me the love that came

And left me like an empty train"

I thought love never died

But it died and there's no escape

Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

I remember the aquarium in Artis

With the angry big fish

The glass like a mirror

We could see our faces making funny faces

It seems that our eyes were looking at us

From another world

Bring me the summer that I thought

That I thought would never end

Bring me the snow that was falling

Was falling in my open hand

I thought life never ends

But it ends and there's no escape

Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

(Like a videotape

Like a videotape)

She said: "Bring me the head

That was resting on my shoulder

Bring me the heart that I left

That I left, left behind"

I thought nobody died, but it's not true

We die, there's no escape

Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

And play it back in slow motion

Playback in slow motion

In slow motion

In slow motion
