Pompeii MMXXIII
Daniel Campbell Smith
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu (oh-oh)
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh, oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
Oh, how am I going to be an optimist about this?

If you close your eyes
Oh-oh, oh, oh
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh, oh
I was left to my own devices
Sono stato lasciato ai miei stessi mezzi
Many days fell away with nothing to show
Molti giorni sono passati senza nulla da mostrare
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
E i muri continuavano a crollare nella città che amiamo
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
Nuvole grigie rotolano sulle colline, portando oscurità dall'alto
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Ma se chiudi gli occhi, sembra quasi che nulla sia cambiato?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
E se chiudi gli occhi, sembra quasi che tu sia stato qui prima?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Come posso essere ottimista riguardo a questo?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
Siamo stati presi e persi in tutti i nostri vizi
In your pose as the dust settled around us
Nella tua posa mentre la polvere si depositava intorno a noi
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
E i muri continuavano a crollare nella città che amiamo
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
Nuvole grigie rotolano sulle colline, portando oscurità dall'alto
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Ma se chiudi gli occhi, sembra quasi che nulla sia cambiato?

I was left to my own devices
Fui deixado à minha própria sorte
Many days fell away with nothing to show
Muitos dias se passaram sem nada para mostrar
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
E as paredes continuaram desmoronando na cidade que amamos
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
Nuvens cinzas rolam sobre as colinas, trazendo escuridão de cima
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Mas se você fechar os olhos, parece quase que nada mudou?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
E se você fechar os olhos, parece quase que você já esteve aqui antes?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Como vou ser otimista sobre isso?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices

In your pose as the dust settled around us
Na sua pose enquanto a poeira se assentava ao nosso redor
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
E as paredes continuaram desmoronando na cidade que amamos
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above

Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
