Текст песни
[Intro]
(Haunting piano, 4 bars; rain fading in, subtle synth pad underneath)
[Verse 1 — Male Vocal]
My world is blurred, all borders gone.
I’m on the road — maybe we’ll meet, maybe not.
That’s just how it is, what can I say?
I’m not searching for love on dusty roads today.
Parting is the price we have to pay.
Forgive me for not holding you, I couldn’t stay.
[Hook — Male + Female Echo]
Rain is falling, the city sleeps.
No more waiting, no more dreams.
(Female echo: “dreams…” — distant, airy reverb)
[Chorus — Male Vocal, Full Energy]
Rain. Taxi. You’re not waiting anymore.
The city sleeps.
A pattern of raindrops on the windowpane.
My heart is beating,
Pain, pain, pain
(Male echo: “pain…” — short slapback)
A wound inside my chest,
It hurts so bad.
Don’t go, my taxi,
Don’t go.
Stop, taxi, stop.
(Male echo: “stop…” — long tail reverb)
[Verse 2 — Male Vocal]
The wind will whisper songs we never said.
(Male whisper: “never said…” — sidechain ducked)
The taxi races, the wind is crying
About the happiness we couldn’t keep alive.
I blame neither you, nor me, nor the road.
Time decided where we’d have to go.
I accept it without any fight.
It’s sad the route diverged that night.
[Chorus — Male Vocal, Full Energy]
Rain. Taxi. You’re not waiting anymore.
The city sleeps.
A pattern of raindrops on the windowpane.
My heart is beating,
Pain, pain, pain
(Male echo: “pain…”)
A wound inside my chest,
It hurts so bad.
Don’t go, my taxi,
Don’t go.
Stop, taxi, stop.
(Male echo: “stop…”)
[Verse 3 — Male Vocal + Female Counterpoint]
Taxi, another taxi, water all around.
Rain pouring in endless streams.
(Female: “streams…” — soft, layered)
Maybe you’re sitting by the window,
Waiting for a call.
(Male: “call…” — muted, far left pan)
Don’t go, my taxi,
Don’t go.
Stop, taxi, stop.
[Bridge — Male Lead, Female Background Whisper]
I know you’re there, wrapped in the night,
Under the lamp where the last light died.
(Female whisper: “last light…” — stereo spread)
And every drop of rain on the old, old roof —
My world that’s gone, I can’t rebuild it.
I can’t fix this now.
(Male echo: “fix this…” — slow decay)
[Chorus — Male, Maximum Emotion]
Rain. Taxi. You’re not waiting anymore.
The city sleeps.
A pattern of raindrops on the windowpane.
My heart is beating,
A fresh wound open wide,
Pain, pain, pain!
(Male shout: “pain!” — strong reverb, stereo widening)
Don’t go, my taxi,
Don’t go.
Stop, taxi, stop…
Stop.
(Male echo: “stop…” — very long tail, fading to silence)
[Hook — Male + Female]
Rain is falling, the city sleeps.
No more waiting, no more dreams.
(Female echo: “dreams…” — far away, almost inaudible)
[Verse 5 — Male, Softer Tone]
Why all these thoughts?
It’s damp and grey as always.
The taxi carries me into this night.
I’m on my way — maybe we’ll meet, maybe it’s not meant to be.
Cold water washed my thoughts away.
That’s just how it happened, what can I say?
[Outro — Piano & Violin, Male Improvised Vocals, Female Airy Pad]
I’m going home — but what for?
A meeting with you, or is it forevermore?
I hear the rain tapping on the glass,
And the echo said:
“Never…”
(Male echo: “Never…” — decaying)
We’ve become ghosts on a rainy, grey day,
While the rain dances without touching our hands.
And your voice is tearing my soul apart, it hurts so much.
Stop — there’s no point in waiting for the taxi…
Stop, stop, there’s no meaning in this anymore.
(Piano and violin sustain; rain fades over 8 bars; all sounds dissolve)
