Don't you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief
- Am I?
Don't you ever bring yourself to grief
Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
- Did I?
Don't you think that you can lie to me
- Did I lie?
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
Don't you choke and bind me
Don't be a bleeding heart
- Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
- Let us play!
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity.
- Don't you dare me
I dare you
- You don't care about me
I care about you
- Don't you touch me
- Liar
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero
I prefer to be unhappy with you,
Rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do…
I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you
One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that…
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion
Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis
Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar
Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura
I have raised myself for you
But now I regret
Venia ad vitam aeternam
This is the end
Don't be a foolish thief
- Am I?
Don't you ever bring yourself to grief
Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
- Did I?
Don't you think that you can lie to me
- Did I lie?

Don't you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief
- Am I?
Don't you ever bring yourself to grief
Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
- Did I?
Don't you think that you can lie to me
- Did I lie? (the woman is blaming the man for lieing to her and think he sould be ashamed but he denies)
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured. (she is cheatinh on him but he doesn't care, he wants to be with her)
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else (though she has a parallel relationship she truly wants only the man)
Don't you choke and bind me
Don't be a bleeding heart
- Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
- Let us play! (he is violent to her but behaves like the victim.The game is their life together, a game o lieing pretanding and blaming)
- Don't you dare me
I dare you
- You don't care about me
I care about you
- Don't you touch me
- Liar (they are fighting, physically and mentally. She provokes him to hit her and says she cares for him while he blames her for lieing and tries to move away so as not to hit her or she not to seduce him)
I prefer to be unhappy with you,
Rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do (he confesses his true feelings to her)
I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you (he says that they are better when they both lie cause they both need each other but can't be a normal couple)
One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion (they are laying down on the bed together, like everytime they fight and she understands that there is no way out they can't keep on like that and should have sth normal or nth not an obsession)
Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar (they fight again beating and cursing each other)
I have raised myself for you
But now I regret (he regret being with her as she almost hates him, and doesn't want them to keep on)
This is the end (he says but it won't be the end as their obsession isn't over and will never be. They are meant to be together in this self-destructive situation. They both hurt each other but just can't get enough of it)
This describes a really strange situation I wouldn't want to be in actuall lol.... I hope my interpretetion is helpful to all the users! I love this songs, reminds me of Kikyo and Inuyasha from Inuyasha anime..They are in the same situation (but she is a zombie and he is a demon lol)...
most of epica's song are about religion and also about fighting the fundamentalism especially ''the embrace that smothers parts''
so i think ''dark artist'' is right

such an awesome combination of vocals, guitars, and orchestra.
In fact, your translations made me consider the fact that this song might also be about someone with a faith in God that they want to abandon but can't, since they've believed for so long. It's about this but it's in the guise of a song about a relationship, similar to Never Enough. What do you all think?
"If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured" - who is he talking about if not her husband?
"I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you" - she's saying she rather lie to her husband and be with him.
it sounds like, throughout the song, he's trying to convince her to leave her marriage and be with him but she's not convinced in how true his love is.
