Trapped in a prism, in a prism of light Alone in the darkness, darkness of white We fell in love, alone on a stage In the reflective age Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore Entre les royaumes, des vivants et des morts If this is heaven I don't know what it’s for If I can’t find you there I don't care I thought, I found a way to enter It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) I thought, I found the connector It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) Now, the signals we send, are deflected again We're still connected, but are we even friends? We fell in love when I was nineteen And I was staring at a screen Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts If this is heaven I need something more Just a place to be alone 'Cause you're my home I thought, I found a way to enter It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) I thought, I found the connector It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) Just a reflektor It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) reflektor (Just a reflektor) (Just a reflektor) just a reflektor (Just a reflektor) just a reflektor (reflektor) (Just a reflektor) (Just a reflektor) (Just a reflektor, just a reflektor) (Just a reflektor, just a reflektor) Just a reflection, of a reflection Of a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection Will I see you on the other side? (Just a reflektor) We all got things to hide (Just a reflektor) It’s just a reflection of a reflection Of a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection Will I see you on the other side? (Just a reflektor) We all got things to hide (Just a reflektor) Alright, let's go back Our song escapes, on little silver discs Our love is plastic, we'll break it to bits I want to break free, but will they break me? Down, down, down, don't mess around I thought, I found a way to enter It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) I thought, I found the connector It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) It’s just a reflektor It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) Thought you would bring me to the resurrector Turns out it was just a reflektor (It’s just a reflektor) Thought you would bring to me the resurrector Turns out it was just a reflektor (It’s just a reflektor) Thought you would bring to me the resurrector Turns out you were just a reflektor It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) (It's just a reflektor) Just a reflektor Just a reflektor Just a reflektor Just a reflektor Will I see you on the other side? It’s just a reflektor Will I see you on the other side? (reflektor) We all got things to hide (reflektor) Just a reflektor Will I see you on the other side?
