Yesterday, for just a moment, I forgot. Today, my story is different. Perhaps, it’s your story too.

There’s tension in the air,

There’s tension everywhere.

There’s tension in the air,

Inside the air of these four walls.

Stuck inside, all six together,

The space gets smaller and smaller.

On top of each other,

Noise, chaos, stress, strife.

We can’t run away,

The doors are locked.

There’s tension in the air,

There’s tension everywhere.

There’s tension in the air,

Inside the air of these four walls.

Fights and screams between brothers,

Conflicts and feuds between spouses.

Mother and son, father and son,

War in every direction.

No one gets along,

Annoyed, frustrated, irritated.

There’s tension in the air,

There’s tension everywhere.

There’s tension in the air,

Inside the air of these four walls.

Sick of seeing the same faces,

Tired of hearing the same voices,

Get us out of here,

We need a change of scenery.

We are all going stir crazy,

Each one going out of his mind.

There’s tension in the air,

There’s tension everywhere.

There’s tension in the air,

Inside the air of these four walls.

We can’t even go out for a walk,

A walk to get fresh air.

None of us can walk outside the gate, 

To get a change of scenery.

No place to go to be alone,

No place to go to escape the noise.

Stuck . . . 

Stuck with the tension in the air,

Stuck with the tension everywhere.

Stuck with the tension in the air,

Stuck in the air of these four walls.
