Lyrics & Translation
English
The air begins to feel a little thin
As I start the car and then I begin
To add the miles piled up behind me
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
But then I remember when you packed my car
You reached in the back and buckled up your heart
For me to drive away with
I began to understand
Why God died
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
It was a little dark so he held a makeshift torch
And when my car was far out of sight
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
[2x]
And then I felt chills in my bones
The breath I saw was not my own
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
Wasn't made to play this game
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
He laid it out, what he had planned
And then I said, I'll take the grave
Please, just send them all my way
I began to understand
Why God died
The air begins to feel a little thin
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
But for now you told me to hold this jar
And when I looked inside, I saw
It held your heart
For me to walk away with
I began to understand
Why God died

A Car, A Torch, A Death (traducción LyricVerse Team)
El aire empieza a sentirse un poco denso
Mientras arranco el coche y luego empiezo
A sumar las millas apiladas detrás de mí
Apenas siento una sonrisa muy dentro de mí
Y empiezo a envidiar los faros que van hacia el sur
Quiero abrir la puerta para poder caerme
Pero luego recuerdo cuando empacaste mi coche
Metiste la mano atrás y abrochaste tu corazón
Para que yo me fuera con él
Empecé a entender
Por qué Dios murió
El demonio se sentó allí esperando en su porche
Estaba un poco oscuro así que sostuvo una antorcha improvisada
Y cuando mi coche estuvo lejos de la vista
Se coló en su habitación y se quedó allí por la noche
[2x]
Y entonces sentí escalofríos en mis huesos
El aliento que vi no era el mío
Sabía que mi piel que envolvía mi cuerpo
No estaba hecha para jugar este juego
Y entonces lo vi, antorcha en mano
Él expuso lo que había planeado
Y entonces dije, tomaré la tumba
Por favor, solo envíamelos a todos
Empecé a entender
Por qué Dios murió
El aire empieza a sentirse un poco denso
Mientras esperamos que empiece la mañana
Pero por ahora me dijiste que sostuviera este frasco
Y cuando miré dentro, vi
Contenía tu corazón
Para que yo me fuera con él
Empecé a entender
Por qué Dios murió
