Текст песни IAMX - I Salute You Christopher (US Version) (Саундтрек из сериала "Как избежать наказания за убийство / How to Get Away with Murder") (Сезон 1) (Серия 11)

[Spoken Intro]
In losing myself I find my true self. I am not alone in my feelings. Be brave. Fear is an illusion
Du bist meine Verbindung in eine andere Welt
I can see beauty and honesty. The world where black has become the color of triumph. A place where you can be understood as much as you would like to be understood
To recognize freedom is to gain it. It has allowed me to recognize my own freedom. And in the end, this is what each of us is really looking for
He’s my cathartic еidolon, my sonic messiah, a beacon of curative powеr to which I’m forever grateful
Facing the end of the world, some turn to God, others – cocaine and whores, I – to IAMX
After the darkest days of my life, the days of total ignorance and unawareness, you opened the world of happiness and heart seize for me. I’m sending you my love from Moscow
I remember what sorrow and joy are when I had forgotten what loving life felt like
Like a dance with an endless lover
It simply makes me feel cooler

[Verse 1]
I salute you Christopher, I salute your life
How you played the dice
Your words will live in us, timelessly insane
Explosive, fresh and wise

[Verse 2]
Some may just forget, some may close their eyes
Some may turn the tide
I salute you Christopher, whiskey raised and downed
You risked and you took the crown

[Chorus]
Console yourselves that a scientific death is better
Than a fairy tale of the eternal life
Control yourselves ’cause the man in the sky is a tyrant
And a lonely psychopath dreamed up to steal your minds
[Spoken Interlude]
The lyrics and music express my deep inner feelings and thoughts
Self-expression and the celebration of individuality. It is a place for likeminded eccentrics to co-exist

[Verse 3]
A horseman on a trial, a brilliant gentle wreck
With a brutal mouth for press
No submit, no compromise, Saint Christopher of the truth
And a destroyer of smoke screens and threats

[Verse 4]
They will learn to see in time, they will think before they refuse
The civilisation rules
I salute you Christopher, I declare you as our king
Or queen, depending on your mood

[Chorus]
Console yourselves that a scientific death
Is better than a fairy tale of the eternal life
Control yourselves ’cause the man in the sky is a tyrant
And a lonely psychopath dreamed up to steal your minds

[Spoken Interlude]
It’s how I feel
A sense of tribe. It’s pushed me out of my comfort zone in ways I never imagined
A luminous embodiment of exquisite beauty empowers the mind, ignites my spirit with possibilities
[Chorus]
Console yourselves that a scientific death
Is better than a fairy tale of the eternal life
Control yourselves ’cause the man in the sky is a tyrant
And a lonely psychopath dreamed up to steal your minds

[Spoken Outro]
I remember my biggest fear, my biggest challenge. You gave me my superpower. And now I feel beautiful
It’s helped me claw my way out of a four year depression, without which I think I would have felt quite lost
It is my escape. It’s what grounds me. It’s my tribe. And it’s my lifeline
