The Official t.A.T.u Thread

I think their English is pretty rusty, actually. Lena was always a bit better than Yulia, but now they're both a bit mediocre...

Here are the lyrics as I hear them, as cryptic in meaning as ever.

t.A.T.u - White Robe

Feeling ugly, looking pretty.
Yellow ribbons, black graffiti.
Word is written, bond is broken.
No big secret left unspoken.
Sun is painted in the corner,
But it's never getting warmer.
All the lies they keep on selling,
But you never check the spelling.

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven. *1

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven.

Time is running, we are sitting.
Back together just for splitting.
You are crying in the corner.
Always next and never former.
Open up and let me hear it.
From a body, future spirit.*2
Brain is useless, chair is rocking.
Open doors for dead men walking.

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven.

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven.



Notes:

*1: I also hear "paragliding", which is a cool image, but a very, very uncommon word in music. t.A.T.u are known for saying uncommon things, though, so it's always a possibility.

*2: I also hear "Form a body, future spirit". Interesting concept.
