In the process of disappointment and despair, you have a defense mechanism where you no longer want to open up your heart, but there's also the desire to move towards hope or another thing you want. This song is about the point where they collide, the mindset is going back and forth between them. And questioning whether the thing I dreamt of - whatever it might be - was all just a fairy tale.

[Verse 1]
Dreams are bound to break
Why didn’t I know that?
Life hastens me
Answering what?
Answering what?
Hide me inside myself
I’m afraid I’ll drown
River of fear
Answering what?
Answering what?
[Pre-Chorus]
Why is hope evil and sweet?
I’m always fooled, your lies
Veiled in a smile and hug
I can’t stop, heading to the end
[Chorus]
Why do you leave? I’m alone
Everything is repeated again and again
And I’m going down
Why did I believe, believe your love?
I had a dream without even knowing
Lost in the waves, but now I know
It’s just a fairy tale
[Verse 2]
Who’s knocking on my door?
You know I can’t stop
What do you want and answering what?
I, I don’t need anymore
Talk to myself
Please don’t ask me
Answering what?
Answering what?
[Pre-Chorus]
Why is hope evil and sweet
I’m always fooled your lies
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Even though I know everything
[Chorus]
Why do you leave? I’m alone
Everything is repeated again and again
And I’m going down
Why did I believe, believe your love?
I had a dream without even knowing
Lost in the waves, but now I know
It’s just a fairy tale
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Why do you leave? I’m alone
Everything is repeated again and again
And I’m going down
Why did I believe, believe your love?
I had a dream without even knowing
Lost in the waves, but now I know
It’s just a fairy tale
