The Phantom Agony
ADRIANUS SLUIJTER, MARKUS JANSEN, YVES HUTS
(I can't taste you, I can't think of you,
Do we exist at all?)
The future doesn't pass
And the past won't overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony
Do we dream at night
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony
The age-old development of consciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much, so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away
What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony
The age-old development of consciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much, so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away
Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see, the phantom agony
A te spiritus noster devoratur et nostra anima capitur
The lucidity of my mind has been revealed in new dreams
I am able to travel where my heart goes
In search of self-realization
This is the way to escape from our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your illusion and enter my dream
(I can't taste you, I can't think of you,
(Non posso assaggiarti, non posso pensare a te,
Do we exist at all?)
Esistiamo per niente?)
The future doesn't pass
Il futuro non passa
And the past won't overtake the present
E il passato non supererà il presente
All that remains is an obsolete illusion
Tutto ciò che rimane è un'illusione obsoleta
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
Abbiamo paura di tutte le cose che non potrebbero essere
A phantom agony
Un'agonia fantasma
Do we dream at night
Sogniamo di notte
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
O condividiamo la stessa vecchia fantasia?
I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams
Io sono una silhouette della persona che vaga nei miei sogni

They fade away
Svaniscono
What's the point of life
Qual è il senso della vita
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
E qual è il significato se alla fine tutti moriamo?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
Ha senso imparare o dimentichiamo tutto?
