Asche



Asche*


The crow of the water's edge. The moment of the suicide.
After all our fate is tread on.
Raise your spirit. Aah! I completely look like an idiot.
I'm worn out.


Blue. Can you only answer my expectations?
Blue. If I can't drain my tears everyday.
Do the burrial at the sea. boogie’n bluesy
Blue. Love's song accelerates.
Blue. Let me hear it somewhere else.
And I can no longer hear your voice.

At the verge of the lament. Are you okay?
Are you, are you scared?
I was laughing. Aah! I completely look like an idiot. **
It's broken.


Blue. The lights are the feast of the spring.
Blue. If they beautifully bloom
try to make them dissapear at midnight.
dance to dance & dust to dust
Blue. The limits of the weight dance to the wind.

Blue. Is that magic? Until you reject it.
Let me dream. I pray the ashe's song to reach you.

Notes:

This song is about the fairytale 'Cinderella'. The name of this tale in German is 'Aschenputtel' and that's where the title of the song comes from. ''Asche' means 'ash(es)' in German and Cinderella due to her arduous work is always covered in dust.

**Again, we are not trying to interprete the song. It surely carries a deeper meaning that what we can see just reading it. The translation of the song can have changes since some parts are not very clear for us. The part of "I look like an idiot" doesn't have a subject here so it can be also "you". Why we think it's a first person? Because the second person "you" appears in the lyrics. 
In this verse he sings "Aah! That's so stupid.
