Line of Dialogue
En toe val ek alweer / And then I fell again
Die tyd was maar altyd te min / Time was never enough
Wat het ek gedoen om dit te verdien? / What did I do to deserve this?
Die donker het oor ons gekom / Then there was darkness
Gebruik die skerp kant / Use the pointy end
Ek het probeer om te stop maar dit was te laat / I tried to stop but it was too late
En hulle was nooit weer dieselfde nie / And they were never the same again
Dis wat sy gesê het / That’s what she said
Dit kan nie wees wat ek dink dit is nie / It cannot be what I think it is
Om nerens te kom neem te veel tyd / Going nowhere takes too much time
Een plus een is…drie? / One and one makes…three?
Nog net een stoot / Just one more push
Is dit veronderstel om daardie geluid te maak? / Is it supposed to make that noise?
Jy’t die regte ding gesê op die verkeerdste tyd / You said the right thing at the worst time
Weer? Hoekom Weer? / Again? Why again?
Ek dink daar’s iets op jou skouer / I think there’s something on your shoulder
Nog net een tree / Just one more step
Dis nie hoe n sirkel lyk nie / That’s not what a circle looks like
Ek het ‘n sekonde oor gehad / I had a second to spare
Dit klink makliker as wat dit lyk / It sounds easier than it looks
Die lewe was van hom/haar onteem / He/She was deprived of life
