If an orchestra had to speak about the two of us
It would be easier to sing you a goodbye
Growing up would be a crescendo
Of a lethal violin
The drum announces a bad storm
And we lose harmony

Play me something light
Because I feel absent
Make it very light
Words with no more mystery
And just a little bit happy
Play me something light
To this unsettling silence
To escape from this well of pain
That drags us both and we don't want to

If a concert or a simple song were enough
To see a flower bloom amidst so much ruin
I would ask God
To calm this storm a little bit
Although it would be of no use

Play me something light
Because I feel absent
Make it very light
Words with no more mystery
And just a little bit happy
Play me something light
To this unsettling silence
To escape from this well of pain
That drags us both and we don't

The background music
In supermarkets
Your neighbor sings it
In the unemployment line
The thousand-euro earner listens to it
People are like that hammer
Inside your head
It enters your thoughts
Without you even realizing it
What are you doing
In this shitty party
And you think your life is slipping away
And we don't care anymore
We don't think about anyone

Play me something light
Play me something light
Play me something, play me something
Play me something light

Play me something light
Because I feel absent
Make it very light
Words with no more mystery
And just a little bit happy
Play me something light
To this unsettling silence
To escape from this well of pain
That drags us both and we don't want to
