Not Normal

You were given to me by my friend loneliness
So I would never leave her
You are the sun, but only always in the clouds
You are the sky, but covered with darkness

You were given to me by the autumn night
So I would never argue with the sky
You are the tears that make it seem like the rain
You are happiness that looks too much like sadness

It’s impossible to understand you
It’s unrealistic to forget you
It’s too difficult to love you
You are just so not normal

You were promised to me long ago by the silence
Because we are well acquainted with her
You are the song that I never hear
Too sad, I would’ve sung it I over and over

You were predicted to me by the old lady, fate
How did I wrong her, made her upset?
You were given to me by the autumn night
So I would never see the light again

It’s impossible to understand you
It’s unrealistic to forget you
It’s too difficult to love you
You are just so not normal

Another POBian song. I think I'm getting better at translating.

Anyway, this song made me think about this woman's life. She was lonely for a very long time and finally she met someone. He sounds like he had charm or was mysterious, which dragged her in. She fell in love.

She has him now, but she's still lonely. He was supposed to bring light into her life but it's still dark. He was supposed to make her happy, but she's sad. He was supposed to be the song to break her silent life, but there's there's still no sound.

He is a complicated person. He made a big impression on her and she can't let him go. He doesn't give her the love that she wants but she can't leave him. You know she'll be waiting for him to change and be everything she wants him to be and you know it's never going to happen.

She might live her whole life with him, unhappy.

Such a sad song. Yet it probably reflects the lives of many women.
