Coraline

Tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline
 
Coraline as beautiful as the sun
Warrior with a zealous heart
Hair like red roses
Those precious copper-like wires, my love, take them to me
If you hear the bella sing you’ll see Coraline crying
She takes in the others’ pain and then carries it within her
 
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline
 
But she knows the truth
Not everyone can go on with their heart split in two
It’s already cold
She’s just a child but she feels like a burden and sooner or later she’ll break
People will say: “she’s worth nothing
She can’t even get out a miserable door”
But one day, at least once, she’ll manage
 
And I told Coraline that she can grow up
Fetch her things and then leave
But she detects a monster that keeps her in a cage, that covers her way with explosive mines
And I told Coraline that she can grow up
Fetch her things and then leave
But Coraline doesn’t want to eat, no... yes, Coraline would like to disappear.
 
And Coraline cries
Coraline is anxious
Coraline wants the sea but she’s afraid of the water
And maybe sea is inside her
And every word is an axe, a wound on the back
Like a raft sailing on a swollen river
And maybe the river is inside her, inside her
 
I’ll be fire, I’ll be coldness
A repair during the winter
Whatever you breath
I’ll understand what’s inside you
I’ll be drinking water
The meaning of goodness
I’ll also be a soldier
Or a light in the evening
And I don’t ask for anything in return
Just a smile
Every little tear of yours is an ocean on my face
And I don’t ask for anything in return
Just some time
I’ll be a banner, a shield, or your silver sword, and...
 
And Coraline cries
Coraline is anxious
Coraline wants the sea but she’s afraid of the water
And maybe sea is inside her
And every word is an axe, a wound on the back
Like a raft sailing on a swollen river
And maybe the river is inside her, inside her
 
And tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline
 
Coraline, as beautiful as the sun
She lost the fruit of her womb
She never knew love
But a father that isn’t father-like at all
Told her : “in the city there’s a castle with walls so strong that if you go live inside it nothing will ever hurt you again
Nothing will ever hurt you again”
