Karelia

The Hermit

Karelia


Lived for a long time surrounded 
By numb and indifferent crowd 
Wandering amid empty faces 
Enslaved by shallow existence 
Misunderstood, faced impassable walls 

I Could not rely on anyone 
I endeavoured to look like them 
Played this ludicrous part in vain 
Overwhelmed by the weigh of lies 
Misunderstood, had to run away 

Left all in this unreal comedy 
Don't regret this great build-up at all 

I did not exist 
Now every dawn's rebirth 
Released at last, I'm no longer enjailed 
I start from scratch again 

Surrounded by the crowd 
Devoured by constant strains I knew that 
I cannot live that way, amid them 
Insane tricks and cynical lies 
Now show's going on 
But I just left the stage 
I'm the one I was supposed to be 
No longer enjailed
