Haan...
This is just the beginning,
The lips smile all on their own,
In swirling eyes,
Blue flowers blossom.
Forgetting every color,
Slowing down the rush,
Fitting right in the hand,
You are inside the shell.
Forgetting every color,
Slowing down the rush,
Carving and shaping you,
I am the sculptor.
You speak, you speak,
Through your gestures, you are saying something.
Catching the air with your hands,
You fling it everywhere.
You speak, you speak,
Through your gestures, you are saying something.
Carrying colors in your eyes,
You close your eyelids and ponder.
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
A lush green sky,
Glowing clouds,
A body celebrating it all,
Drifting here and there.
The swaying dance of the trees,
Frames everything in view,
The song keeping company,
Locks time so it doesn't tick away.
In a smoke-filled room,
On a floor that feels like it's running,
As I walk about,
And you stumble along...
You speak, you speak,
Through your gestures, you are saying something.
Catching the air with your hands,
You fling it everywhere.
You speak, you speak,
Through your gestures, you are saying something.
Carrying colors in your eyes,
You close your eyelids and ponder.
Hmmm... mmmm... mmm... mmm
Mmmmm... mmm... mmm... mmmm

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song captures a surreal, psychedelic, and dreamy atmospheric state driven by deep fascination and love. The speaker describes surreal sensory visual hallucinations—a green sky, burning clouds, and blue flowers blooming in spinning eyes—symbolizing an altered perception of reality where time slows down and normal worldly distractions fade away. The protagonist is completely captivated by the non-verbal gestures, movements, and subtle expressiveness of their companion in a smoke-filled, surreal room setting where reality feels suspended.
