Παραισθήσεις [Paraisthiseis] [English translation]

I woke up once again from the same nightmare,

And switched on the first light that I found near me.

I took a good look around the bed

But all my things were in their right place.

I was all sweaty and felt, once more, that fear

That completely dominates my thoughts.

Let's say that I had been drinking a lot

I feel that I have finally lost all control!

[Chorus:]

Once again, I'm having hallucinations that you're here

And you come to kiss me, just to hurt me

And, when you leave, you take away all that I love

And after I have killed you

Even I end up dying.

I heard, once again, (someone's) steps during the night

And from somewhere in the silence, I heard my name.

But (only) an ashtray filled with squashed cigarettes,

A book and a clock were there by my side...

I was all sweaty and felt, once more, that fear

That completely dominates my thoughts.

Let's say that I had been drinking a lot

I feel that I have finally lost all control!

[Chorus:]

Once again, I'm having hallucinations that you're here

And you come to kiss me, just to hurt me

And, when you leave, you take away all that I love

And after I have killed you

Even I end up dying.
