Lyrics


1. JUKAI

I will always remember
All the glorious formations
That appeared at this day
Never real, but in this state pure

Colours and oscillations everywhere

I saw how the trees breathed
And the waves in the soil
Feeling the breeze of loss
At this brittle sill

Feeling the losing of
Well-known textures
A view into eternity
Full of fear, full of beauty

What if I had lain down in the meadows ?
Would I have returned ?

Inside my hand, inside my mind
The trembling stone of silence
Faithful fellow of the other side
Given and consecrated by a friend
Who was passing through the same world

Coming home, a thousand moods
Coming home, discerning the changes


2. WATERSIDE

As I walked on the sunset path
Everything seemed to be mine
Immersed in the morning light
Beside the river, inside this sight

Rest at the water
Watching red streams
Over the mountain range
Inside a static age

A state when everything
Looks different
Containing contentment
For a while

Nothing could break through
This is where I go through
Nowhere, anywhere


3. NADIR

A form caught this spectral character
And bowed its head down
It digs into flesh and soul
He became a dwarf, a keeper of stars

And the surrendering ones
Those with dead fins
Threw him into the vault

Several outlivers beckoned him
Among beggars there's no king
Smothered in life, demise and decay

What else should happen on a rainday ?


4. MISTRAL

Cut up the memories
And crave for it or not

Dirt will coat this place
Get back the colours
And disconnect

Try to rip me out
I won't forget
This past is no phantom

I see no end
Eternal descent
I see no end
And no present time


5. ORIGIN

Recognise all fears
That hit me to the ground
Every time I wanted to lift up
This was all a begging for
A withered blame
That had to outlive through me

Forever drained in grey colours
And every day looks the same

As I tried to rip myself out of this mire

It all came back to me
As like it had never been gone away
I am not like them
But in all we're all the same
The pattern returns
As I stare into their pale eyes

They mirror my fears
I am falling
It's the first time I feel real


6. HARBOUR

Sensory ship sails towards
Unknown barriers
Of ending oceans
Washing my hands
In the salty waters
For a last time
As I look into their eyes
To discover mine

I'm leaving the harbour
I wave no goodbye

I could dive into this mirror
Unreachable out of your time

Clear my mind within
The air of the sea
Without looking back
Take what you need

I'm leaving the harbour


7. SOL

Mourning the loss of time
The things get palsied in each dimension
In between the rules
And our so called ways

A room with the smell of old wood
No movements, but the years pass by
Out of the only window
Seasons change in fast motion

This truth is nonrecurring
Let thoughts touch you
And dare to entrust
The voice of perception
Don't hurt
