Silhouette in the Rain (English)

[INTRO] [[It starts with a floating synth pad and a subtle bassline.]] [VERSE] [[The rhythm section joins in and a groove gradually emerges.]] Time flies, so fast... how the years have flown My life has become a twilight zone The map to the future that I drew back then Is nowhere to be found, I search in vain The cityscape's the same, but everything has changed Staring at the silver in my hair, rearranged I breathe a little sigh, a silent, soft refrain Can't turn back the time... can't go back again [PRE CHORUS] [[Towards the chorus, drum fills and synths build up.]] No need to put on an act, pretend that I'm still young Just be yourself... let your true song be sung But still this aching deep inside my heart remains Is it just a souvenir left by the passing rains? [CHROUS] [[The chorus overlaps, making the song more powerful.]] A silhouette in the rain, neath the bleeding city lights I'm searching for a trace of my long-forgotten flights But I know this story's far from being over now With these faltering steps, I'm movin' on somehow A silhouette in the rain, I won't be looking back Gonna hold on to my own groovin' night, and stay right on this track [VERSE] [[Guitar cutting comes to the forefront]] Flipping through the headlines on my telephone So many new words, in a world I have outgrown Worn out by the pace, the speed of modern times But standing still is not an option, breaking paradigms At a midnight bar with my old friends again We laugh about the glory days, the "remember when" But silence hits me on the lonely ride back home And the fear of what's to come chills me to the bone [PRE CHORUS] [[The song builds up again towards the chorus]] My reputation and my pride, I've gotta let it go What's left behind is what is real, that's the real me, I know I'm taking my own time now, breathing deep & slow Gonna step forward again... from this place I'll start to grow [CHROUS] [[The chorus adds to the power.]] A silhouette in the rain, a shadow on the wall For every line that time has traced, I've learned to stand up tall I still want to believe in this heartbeat in my chest With this feeling, I won't quit, putting it to the test, I'm movin' on A silhouette in the rain, I won't be looking back Ready for my own brand new day, gonna get my life on track [INSTRUMENTAL] [[It starts with a mellow saxophone solo, then moves on to sparkling synth arpeggios, before returning to the powerful rhythm section.]] [PRE CHORUS] [[Gradually crescendos towards the chorus]] The days of my youth, they shined so bright and gold Never forget... a treasure that I hold Learning to accept the man I am today For a brand new groovin', we will find a way [CHROUS] A silhouette in the rain, on the glistening avenue The footprints that we're leaving now will light the future view I still want to sing it out, a cry from soul to soul It's okay to be incomplete, that's what makes us whole... just go on [OUTRO] Silhouette in the rain... Oh, Groovin' Night...
