Aytash - 80's (H?I?V) | (Official Audio)

Lyric: Back when the night was hiding names And every secret carried shame They learned to whisper who they loved While the world pretended not to know (oh) There were posters on the walls Warnings written like a sentence People pointing fingers in the streets (yeah) Turning fear into a weapon (don't look away) They called it dangerous They called it wrong They made a generation feel Like they didn't belong (no, no) But they were dancing Dancing through the fear (through the fear) Holding onto someone (hold on) When nobody wanted them near (nobody) They were dancing Dancing through the night (all night) Trying to stay alive (stay alive) Trying to keep their love alive (keep it alive) In the eighties (in the eighties) They were more than headlines More than numbers More than someone else's fear (oh, yeah) In the eighties They were still lovers (still lovers) Still dreaming Still refusing to disappear (don't disappear) Some were thrown away by families Some were left alone inside a room (oh) Some learned the names of every hospital Before they ever learned to talk about the truth And the world kept watching Like their lives were someone else's problem While friends became caretakers (stay with me) And grief became a language of its own (oh) But they were dancing Dancing through the fear (through the fear) Holding onto someone (hold on) When nobody wanted them near (nobody) They were dancing Dancing through the night (all night) Trying to stay alive (stay alive) Trying to keep their love alive (keep it alive) In the eighties (in the eighties) They were more than headlines More than numbers More than someone else's fear (no more fear) In the eighties They were still lovers (still lovers) Still dreaming Still refusing to disappear (we're still here) I remember those who stayed When everyone else walked away (oh) I remember every hand held tight Underneath the flashing lights (hold on) I remember the ones they blamed The ones they erased from history The ones who turned their pain into a voice (speak up) So someone else could finally breathe (breathe) They were children (they were children) They were lovers (they were lovers) They were people trying to survive (trying to survive) They weren't fear They weren't disease They weren't less for simply being alive (never less) They were dancing Dancing through the fear (through the fear) And every heartbeat said (listen) We're still here (we're still here) In the eighties (in the eighties) They were more than headlines More than numbers More than someone else's fear (no more fear) In the eighties They were still lovers (still lovers) Still dreaming Still refusing to disappear (we won't disappear) Still here (still here) Still here (oh, yeah) Still here (we're still here) We remember (we remember) Still here (still here) Still here (hold on) Still here (oh, yeah) We remember (I'll remember) HIV (HIV and AIDS) A broken decade (oh) A story they couldn't erase (couldn't erase) Still here (still here) Still here (oh, yeah) Still here (we're still here) We remember (we remember)
