He says he looks in the mirror
Dia bilang dia melihat ke cermin
And he can't tell anymore
Dan dia tidak bisa lagi membedakan
Who he really is and who they believe him to be
Siapa dirinya yang sebenarnya dan siapa yang mereka anggap dia
And he says he walks a thin line
Dan dia bilang dia berjalan di atas garis tipis
Between what is and what could be
Antara kenyataan dan kemungkinan
And he's getting closer
Dan dia semakin dekat
To something he can understand
Dengan sesuatu yang bisa dia mengerti

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
Karena ada retakan di mahkota plastiknya
And his throne of ice is melting
Dan takhtanya yang terbuat dari es mulai mencair
He climbed his ladder
Dia mendaki tangganya
There was nothing there
Tapi tidak ada apa-apa di sana
And now it's a long way down
Dan sekarang jalannya sangat panjang ke bawah
It's a long way down
Ini perjalanan yang panjang ke bawah

(Chorus)
On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Terus menerus dia menari di atas kuburan
Of what he thought was still alive
Dari apa yang dia kira masih hidup
On and on and on he goes
Terus menerus dia melanjutkan
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
Menari di istana yang terbuat dari ranting
And castles made of sand
Dan istana yang terbuat dari pasir

He says his head is filled with
Dia bilang kepalanya penuh dengan
Cartoons and fairy tails
Kartun dan dongeng
And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
Dan dia terjebak di dalam penjara boneka
With smiles on their faces
Dengan senyuman di wajah mereka
He's built a pretty cage
Dia telah membangun sangkar yang indah
His shows on a beautiful stage
Pertunjukannya di panggung yang cantik
With candy coated prison bars
Dengan jeruji penjara berlapis permen
And chains that look like jewelry
Dan rantai yang terlihat seperti perhiasan

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
Karena ada retakan di mahkota plastiknya
And his throne of ice is melting
Dan takhtanya yang terbuat dari es mulai mencair
He climbed his ladder
Dia mendaki tangganya
There was nothing there
Tapi tidak ada apa-apa di sana
And now it's a long way down
Dan sekarang jalannya sangat panjang ke bawah

(Repeat chorus)
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
Terus menerus dia melanjutkan
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
Terus menerus dia melanjutkan

Cause he lives inside
Karena dia hidup di dalam
Of fairy tails and castles now
Dongeng dan istana sekarang
And there's room inside
Dan ada ruang di dalam
For false expectations and illusions
Untuk harapan palsu dan ilusi

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
Karena ada retakan di mahkota plastiknya
And his throne of ice is melting
Dan takhtanya yang terbuat dari es mulai mencair
He climbed his ladder
Dia mendaki tangganya
There was nothing there
Tapi tidak ada apa-apa di sana
And now it's a long way down
Dan sekarang jalannya sangat panjang ke bawah
It's a long way down
Ini perjalanan yang panjang ke bawah

(Repeat chorus 2 times)
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
Terus menerus dia melanjutkan
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
Terus menerus dia melanjutkan
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
Terus menerus dia melanjutkan
