Armour & The Universe Songtext
von Linah Rocio & The Lighthearted

My armour is too thick
I′ve built layers of walls around me
I function like a soldier at war
I measure things
Calculate things
Observe

I take up spaces in order to not get lost in my own
All in me just wants to go back
Back to your arms
I can still feel your hands at night
How they hold mine
It's as if you were closer now
Closer than before

People say it′s an illusion
I have to let go
But then why do I feel you so

Why do I feel your being nearly inside me
You touched me in places no one ever has
And no one ever will


What happened

I want to hold you and touch your hair and be with you
once again This incredible closeness that got lost somehow
Somewhere
We all have stories
And maybe our stories were too similar
They clashed against each other without preparing us
And I always wanted to hear more of your story
I wanted to know you more
I wanted to see
what bothers you
What excites you,
What makes you doubt yourself
What makes you see.
Your vision
Your dream

Our dreams once united us and now my dream
is tearing us apart When all I wanted was to
Dream with you
Walk with you, sleep with you, eat with you. talk to you.


I wanted to travel with you.
I wanted to show you what I had seen
I wanted to lose myself in your company
And maybe that is what I did
I got lost in you

But shouldn't we all get lost in order to find ourselves
Why does everything have to be so certain
Nothing is certain
All moves and travels

I try to catch up with the speed of light that caresses my hair and
weaves in pieces of you And as soon as they are complete they start
dissolving again and the weaving begins
again And I try to catch a glimpse and I cry
As I see it disappearing,
Dissolving,
In front of me

I want to wear you and carry you with me
I want to feel you everywhere I go
Sometimes I pretend I'm fine
With all of you dissolving

But then I feel you again
I can still feel you rocking
Rock with me

It melted my armour
The one I wore before
But this armour is new
I don′t know what it consists of
I don′t know what it does to me and you
All I know is that I keep on breathing and I keep on
doing all the things I normally do Sometimes I seek distraction
Superficial coincidences building up
to major events that have no meaning
Not in the big scheme of things
At least not in a way that I believe counts
But what do I know?

I can still love you I can still love you

We don't have to define things Remember how you said this to me?

I was lost and I was scared as I was transforming
And I tried to be the same but I couldn′t
I lost touch of you and I lost touch
of me and I lost touch I begged for it
And I found it sometimes
In someone else's arms
But it was always you I longed for

And what is this longing?
Was it really you?
Was it real?
Are you real?
