Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I feel so shy, I've never been here
The windows are broken and it's burning with cold
Darling I'm afraid the night is so long
The face of the man is coming out of nowhere
[Verse 2]
Losing my breath, I'm losing my soul
Big Brother's face is on behind every door
There's nothing to do, there's nowhere to hide
The shadows are black, it's close for too many years
[Pre-Chorus]
Nineteen-eighty four (too tired)
Nineteen-eighty four (to run, run)
Nineteen-eighty four (I'm waiting)
Nineteen-eighty four (understand me)
[Chorus]
Big Brother
Tell me what to catch
Why me, I just don't understand
Big Brother
Just our tender love can't teach me how to go on
[Verse 3]
So many times in so many ways
I tried to believe in big brother's day
I've lost all my hopes to switch off that screen
I don't see the future as the world that will be
[Pre-Chorus]
Nineteen-eighty four (too tired)
Nineteen-eighty four (to run, run)
Nineteen-eighty four (I'm waiting)
Nineteen-eighty four (understand me)
[Chorus]
Big Brother
Tell me what to catch
Why me, I just don't understand
Big Brother
Just my last one life can't help me to go on
Big Brother
Wait too long, he has you and I just need to be free
Big Brother
Just our tender love can't teach me how to go on
