Blue Tides

I sat alone
In a place full of people
Feeling young and old
At the same time now
But i’ve only known
Misery in solitude
I don’t feel i’ve known
Real pain that makes you

Hold on to your generation
It’s the only thing that makes you what you are
But when I see my generation
If anything there’s nothing much to look at
Sing ss a song
Today’s what matters
Tomorrow
Behold and see the great dilemma
Drown in tears for lack of everyday commodities
Themselves became another quick fix
But one that ties you firmly down to the ground
Sing us a song
Today’s what matters
Tomorrow

Eurydice

I said I’d visit you
Anywhere you might go
Any place you’ll continue to grow
I’d be there whenever you feel like me
Do you recall the way
That I said all those words
Meaningful and certainly sure
Never stopped in hesitation
Well maybe babe
I got ahead of myself
Thinking you could be just a friend
And that I’ll some day see you that way
I know for sure now
That will never happen
No reality I go through
Not even in unconscious sleep
Oh babe I’ll die for you
I’ll you only let me
No one else can do it for me
Is it hard to understand?
That without you I’m lost
I’ll never be found
Time’s injury has no sound
Nothing but a blackened silent hole

Flamingos Over Rome
03:56
|
|||
|
I look at flamingos
They fly in the early night of day
It’s the time when lovers
Have to choose from black and grey
I dreamt of your body
In the winter mist
Now I wake to see it
In the humid summer morning light
Those same flamingos
Roam from place to place
Looking for some shelter
Congregated searching
Some seem to fly solo
Wonder what they find
Whether in their searching
Do they also know its endless

Rose Keller

In the light of the night
I saw her in her black sheets
Running wild far away from a girl
Who had sworn to take back
Whatever she felt was hers
With whatever means necessary
Shiny blades lit the sky
Across eye-levelled landscapes
As the trail lead them to the east
Through the town, and the fields
Rosa thought she could find
The rising sun in the black cold night
They were now really close
To getting to the other side
Flowing hair always look so nice
Rosa turned many times
To look at her stalker
Neither one had seemed out of breath
Out of mind, out of it,
Demented tragic cases
Running wild in the moonlit fields
Now they both felt the mist
Pregnant with the sea salt
It sure seemed they had ran for a while
As the violent waves
Crashed against the cliff
The land trembled with Roza’s skin
Never stopped, never could
With this horrified possession
Roza ran to her death from that height
And in spite of this sight
The hunter slowly looked down
Tore her clothes and consummated her act.

Everything's Clear

Dance with me dear
To the end of my life
To the moment I’m set free
Harmless and pure
When that midnight hour
Arrives one fine day
I hope that it comes before
The self-hate parade
Everything’s Clear
Everything’s Clear
Everything’s Clear and my eyes have asserted themselves to believe they know reason
Grey and blue skies
Are the same thing
When looked at from behind
Black monochrome glass
I’m suddenly anti
Whatever I am
I hope you will understand
At some point your liife
Everything’s Clear
Everything’s Clear
Everything’s Clear and my eyes have asserted themselves to believe they know reason

Some of Us

You tell me I’m a stranger
I hope you know the feeling’s mutual
I’ve daydreamed for a living
But now that industry is closing
Why do you stare at a man who is lost
And look for the things you can’t find?
Have you ever looked at the sea in the night
And found moving stars that are still in the sky?
I try hard not sleep
And now the night s become my lover
I see her in my dreams
Habitual in her goodnight kisses
Why do you stare at a man who is lost
And look for the things you can’t find?
Have you ever looked at the sea in the night
and found moving stars that are still in the sky?

I see you standing over there
By the sacred river
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
I see you standing over there
By the sacred river
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
Won't you let go of the things that made you feel so troubled
Please just forget them
I see you standing over there
By the sacred river
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
I see you standing over there
By the sacred river
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
As I stayed up thinking love and light had now deserted
Nothing could change things
The world had stopped turning in the way that I'd been used to
I forgot myself
I see you standing over there
By the sacred river
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
I see you standing over there
By the sacred river
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
I see you standing over there
By the sacred river
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
Won't you let go of the things that made you feel so troubled
Please just forget them.

Kāla, My Friend
06:34

Do you ever find yourself at night
Going through the flashes of your memories
And somehow although they’re strangely true
They’re very different to how you’d recall them
Hurry yourself to a land of strangers
Nothing will bore you there
Distractions everywhere
We witness things we don’t think about
I saw Hunter Thompson’s very ashes
Shot from a canon
What good will that do me now?
Kāla came to last year’s new year’s eve
In a leather coat that’s aged and tame
I said many things and in return
He repeated words that i had dreamt of
He said
Hurry yourself to a land of strangers
Nothing will bore you there
Distractions everywhere
We witness things we don’t think about
I saw Hunter Thompson’s very ashes
Shot from a canon
What good will that do me now?
On this divine day
We become mother nature’s sons
In holy quartets
There’s nothing we cannot take on
On this divine day
We become mother nature’s sons
In holy quartets
I know you more than ever
Have you ever found yourself
Looking for water on a beach ?
What happens now when this all ends
will the sun rise and set again ?
Will I ever be sincere
Or does language fail me every time?
Words look one colour in my mind
But when i speak them i become blind
And will i ever learn to love
A human being enough?
