Abstraction
04:27
|
|||
i remember so well
the first time we met
i was driving asleep
and you woke me violently
shooting out sparks
all around me
in a fume of burnt metal
you left me inside out
on the wrong side of life
but even if i know you well
i’ll never be ready for you
but even if i know
you can take me
anywhere
anytime
you’re still an abstraction to me

Good Pupil
03:26
|
|||
i’m a good pupil
i belong to anyone
i’m a good pupil
i don’t know where i’m bound
i guess i’m bound for nowhere
do i really care ?
my life is a game
i let you play
my life is a jail
i’m a good pupil
i belong to anyone
i’m a good pupil
i don’t know where i’m bound
do i really care ?
my mind is elsewhere
i act as a slave

A Bedroom
03:21
|
|||
the clanks of the oil stove that’s just been turned off
the gorilla’s eyes behind the shutters
the fox tail sticking out of mother troll’s dress
the delightfully pervasive scent of the sheets stowed away in the wardrobe for so long
the omnipresent dampness that causes unbearable itches deep in my throat
the wall lamps i wish i could have at home
the gap between the bed and the wall, so dark that i never ventured there
the undulating figures that the sun shapes on the curtains through the shutters
so many memories that can no longer be shared
and that probably never could have been

Evidence Of Beauty
03:02
|
|||
my life is nothing
except when i leave behind
evidence of beauty
i’m so ordinary
but when i create the beauty
there’s a light in me
for a few seconds
i feel like a hero
captured by joy and sorrow
but sometimes
i let the beauty go

Song Of Someone Else
02:13
|
|||
maybe i told you that i love you
but did i ever say that i respect you ?
leave me my selfishness and keep your love for yourself
i never wanted it ‘cause i never needed it
i just want sex
i want nothing else but your body
i want to empty my balls and my mind
whenever i wish to
you may think i’m your lover
after all you’re the only one involved
but don’t come with plans
i would hate to waste my life with you

The Art Of Surfacing
03:14
|
|||
i want to practice
the fine art of surfacing
avoiding to drown
i just need a sweet life
‘cause i’m too weak to fight
i just want the music
of birds and leaves
dancing in the trees
in summertime
i want to practice
the fine art of surfacing
avoiding to drown
i just need an easy life
’cause i’m too weak to fight

I Wish I Could
02:31
|
|||
oh i wish i could
walk forever
in the winter snow
oh i wish i could
forget about myself
and fade away
oh i wish i could
explode in a million particles
and split in the air
i wish i could

Never Ending Journeys
03:25
|
|||
motionless in motion
watching snowy landscapes
through the window of a train
dreaming of never ending journeys
wandering in never ending spaces
motionless in motion
i see a single star
shining bright
and a black tree
lost in a white field
i see the beauty
of an ending night
and a coming day
i see the birth of colors
motionless in motion
i’ll watch the seasons
come and go
through the window of a train
dreaming of never ending journeys
wandering in never ending spaces

Accurately
02:12
|
|||
do you remember
our first kiss
accurately ?
do you remember
the touch of our tongues
accurately ?
was it as sweet for you
as it was for me ?
and now
is it the same
for you and me ?
do you remember
our first kiss
accurately ?

Seasons Of My Life
02:00
|
|||
if you had time
to play the waiting game
you could find out the rule
autumn weather
turns leaves into flames
spring sun
gives birth to shadows
summer wind
dances with trees
winter frost
makes people fall
into a second childhood
if you had time
to live with me
we could together find out
the way it goes

Do You Understand?
02:22
|
|||
this bitter scratch of need
that grips me by the throat at times
blinds my thoughts
and cools my body
do you understand ?
this call for motion
excitement and novelty
that gets me up every morning
and keeps me alive
do you understand ?
time flying by
intoxicates me and makes me dizzy
i’d like to take off with it
but it constantly gets away from me
do you understand ?
but then, this life that is mine
that stretches out her arms to me
i want to love and satisfy her
like my most beautiful lover
do you understand ?
