Lyrics & Translation

English

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing

I know the barricades

And I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognise the weapons, I've used them well

This is my mistake

Let me make it good

I raised the wall

And I will be the one to knock it down

I've a rich understanding of my finest defences

I proclaim that claims are left unstated

I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognise the weapons

I've practised them well

I fitted them myself

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize

Empathise

This is my mistake, let me make it good

I raised the wall

And I will be the one to knock it down

Reach out for me

Hold me tight

Hold that memory

Let my machine talk to me

This is my world,and I am the World Leader Pretend

This is my life, and this is my time

I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit

It's high time I razed the walls that I've constructed

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize

Empathise

This is my mistake, let me make it good

I raised the wall

And I will be the one to knock it down

You fill in the mortar

You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar

I raised the wall

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

English

Let me make it good

You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

Translated by LyricVerse Team

Me siento a mi mesa y me declaro la guerra a mí mismo

Parece que todo es, todo es en vano

Conozco las barricadas

Y sé que el mortero en la pared se rompe

Reconozco las armas, las he usado bien

Este es mi error

Déjame arreglarlo

Levanté el muro

Y seré yo quien lo derribe

Tengo un rico entendimiento de mis mejores defensas

Proclamo que las afirmaciones quedan sin declarar

Exijo una revancha

Decreto un empate

Adivino mis motivos más profundos

Reconozco las armas

Las he practicado bien

Las ajusté yo mismo

Es asombroso con qué dispositivos puedes simpatizar

Empatizar

Este es mi error, déjame arreglarlo

Levanté el muro

Y seré yo quien lo derribe

Extiende tu mano hacia mí

Abrázame fuerte

Guarda ese recuerdo

Deja que mi máquina me hable

Este es mi mundo, y yo soy el Líder Mundial Fingido

Esta es mi vida, y este es mi tiempo

Se me ha dado la libertad de hacer lo que me parezca

Ya es hora de que derribe los muros que he construido

Es asombroso con qué dispositivos puedes simpatizar

Empatizar

Este es mi error, déjame arreglarlo

Levanté el muro

Y seré yo quien lo derribe

Tú rellenas el mortero

Tú rellenas la armonía

Tú rellenas el mortero

Levanté el muro

Y soy el único

Seré yo quien lo derribe
