Damned Princess - Мужчины никогда не возвращаются - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Men never return... No matter how much we dream of this happening. Men go to other women and sometimes love them much more than us, having already been taught by us, becoming more mature and experienced.

Men don’t really remember us much. They do not have this very “memory” that keeps us awake at night. They do not pick out episodes from this long or short film of our relationship.

Men go to someone. And that other one replaces our entire world for them, without which, it would seem, they cannot live. They can. And at the same time they remain very happy and satisfied. Now we are not talking about how long they will be happy with this other one. Time passes and changes everything, like a river, the current of which inexorably carries water to some goal, to some deep waters of the seas and oceans, in order to dissolve in them and be absorbed by them...

Men never return. Because for them reflection is death. They cannot think about their feelings, about the truth. They must survive in this world, they must be fueled by new energies. We, the abandoned ones, remain read books for them... Yes, you can sometimes flip through your favorite pages that have been read to holes, but nothing more. New books and new women surround us everywhere, so unique, so dear, so beloved. We selflessly love them and drunks and madmen and traitors and idiots.

We feel sorry for them and love them and think that only we can make them happy, and only we know how to live better for them and what to do. But this is our illusion, which we live with for years and which we cherish even after we have been abandoned. After we were shown in concrete and practical terms: my dear, you mean nothing to me at the moment. Thank you, of course, for whatever you want, but I don’t need you. I'm fine without you. And come on, don’t suffer, everything will be fine!

The men leave and close the door behind them forever. And we continue to wait for them. We dig ourselves into an even greater illusion, which is already associated with pain and suffering. And we so want to get out of it and plunge into it even more hoping that they will return to us. It's a vicious circle. And there is only one way to get out of it.

Face the truth and burn your illusion in fire (choose the fire yourself - the fire of love, the fire of anger or suffering). You are different people. You have nothing in common anymore, even if you share children and apartments. He is the same Vasya Petrov, like everyone else Vasya passing by. HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU. He can stroke his pride by seeing your suffering, and even communicate with you sometimes, but he is NOT YOUR MAN. He betrayed you! Betrayed your feelings, betrayed your past, betrayed your dreams of happiness. So FORGET HIM!

How can you forget? If thoughts themselves creep into your head, if any mention of him causes waves and peace immediately turns into some kind of riot of emotions. Very simple.

Understand a simple thing: Men never return! Don't wait for it and don't deceive yourself and don't feed your Ego with empty hopes. He sleeps in the arms of another, she feeds him with her cooking, she saws him, and she owns him. You are no longer in his life. The book lies on a shelf among other tattered books.

One hope is that some other Reader will take up reading it. But that is another story….
