Riverhead

Inside my head
There lies a riverbed
That overflows every so often
It floods my will
And leaves me standing still
Until the water falls
And time just passes me by

The Wave
05:03
|
|||
|
Smoothly sailing on the open sea
Not a cloud in the sky
It’s been quiet for so long now
That I forgot to watch for early signs
Today is a lovely day
Proudly wearing my captain’s cap
All in all, in control
Suddenly a chill running down my spine
A feeling long forgotten eats me whole
I never thought I’d let myself get caught into such an obvious pantomime
Beware of the wave, Beware of the…
That sweet hurricane, Beware of the… wave
I feel my blinders slip away
I’m realizing all these yearnings were never truly gone
When all I think about is being swallowed by the wave
In the distance, getting closer now
I can’t turn back ashore
I can feel it coming on to me
And I’m short for breath and yet craving for more
Beware of the wave, Beware of the…
That sweet hurricane, Beware of the… wave
Is this the image of you that I shaped in my heart
Is this the image of you that I like now?
It’s just the image of you that I shaped in my heart
Only the image of you that I like now
The taste of something new that I like now

Etincelle

|
Ruisseau qui coule, pinson qui chante
Effluve exquise, mine alléchante
Et en dépit de tout bon sens
Je voudrais faire ta connaissance
Un geste, un rire, une étincelle
Frisson, désir exponentiel
Une heure, un jour, une semaine
Je te connais mieux que moi-même
Ongles bleus et bouche carmin
J’n’en peux plus d’attendre demain
Contre le flot, en équilibre
Caresse le vent de ta main libre
Dansons pieds nus sur les décombres
Je n’entends plus le bruit du monde
Je me noie dans tes yeux bruns
La vie peut attendre demain

I'm Bathing
05:45
|
|||
|
Fleeting scent – ethereal night – almost fading, almost gone
I tell no lie
Only what my truth feels like
And it felt like the tears of all the joys I never knew before
And it burnt my eyes
I was stabbed by purest beauty
Places are times
Times are places
We're floating through a weightless life
You touched me and I cried, you bathed into my riverbed
And it stopped my heart
All streams came together as one
I shall sleep in the garden for years on end trying to make sense
Of that fateful night
I'll let your touch consume me
Outside of times
Outside of places
Only vibrates only resonates
Only flows
I'm bathing bathing
In the sweet euphoria
We've been caught up in
tonight
We're swimming swimming
In our own utopia
Where I end you begin
Where you breathe I sigh
Zéphyr, désir, plaisir
Laisser faire, froisser l’air
Rivière d’éther délétère
Se plaire et se taire
Tu me plais, tu m’emplis
Peu importe si tu mens car je me plie à tes boniments et…
Je me noie dans toi, sous tes doigts, sauvée par ta voix suave
Sauve-toi car moi le choix m’échappe, le poids de cette chape nous étouffe
Ton souffle sur ma bouche, ma langue fourche et la source s’assèche, fraîche et revêche
Nos corps se déchirent et chavirent dans ce charivari de cire et de chair
Respire et évite le pire
I woke up next to you and everything felt right and wrong
at the same time
I wonder how this heat can last
I'm scared that a whole new part of me appeared in the dead of the night
Now I might die
Would it ever go missing
I'm bathing bathing
In the sweet euphoria
We've been caught up in
tonight
We're swimming swimming
In our own utopia
Where I end you begin
Where you breathe I sigh
You're sinking sinking
To your end Ophelia…

Wilting Point
04:39
|

|
Pour me, drink me
You'll be satisfied
I am yours to spill around
You will never run out
Will you sneak me in tonight?
Will you meet me out the back?
I’ll wait for you outside, you and the flood
Bathe me, drown me
I am withering out
I suck at the straw
till it's drier than dry
Is it time to say good night?
Are we putting out the light?
I said I was yours but are you really mine?
I am alone in my room
I look for you everywhere but you’re nowhere
Am I alone?
Is this how it's supposed to be?
Why do you keep me at a distance?
Are you scared of what our love could be?
I've run out of excuses to find for us
Is it worth fighting for you?
What are you but a picture I drew
A song I wrote with nothing but white notes
I already know the ending to this story
I am holding on to this vision
I keep telling myself we used to be so happy
But I can't remember a time when we actually were
Let the flood come
Let me have some
I'd rather rot passing my wilting point
Out with the dam
I come undone
I'd rather rot passing my wilting point

Why Do I Feel
03:48
|
|||
|
Why do i feel so insecure?
Why do I always feel inadequate?
All sense of self has gone to shreds
Right after I’m back from spending time with you
Spending time with you
Spending time with you
Why do I live in such denial?
Why do I always ponder who to be?
Being myself should be enough
Is enough enough when spending time with you?
Spending time with you
Spending time with you
Where do you hide your doubts and fears?
I wish you’d teach me how to temporize
I’m getting lost so easily
Every time I’m back from spending time with you
Spending time with you
Spending time with you
With you

Suddenly

Suddenly she started frowning
Something came through her mind she could not explain
No word came out of her mouth
That was one of the most fascinating and puzzling things I had ever seen
Suddenly she started weeping
For reasons that she could never comprehend
Big girl crying her eyes out
That was one of the most fascinating and beautiful things I had ever seen
Tears came pouring down her cheeks
I couldn’t help staring
Tears came raining down like sands of time in an hourglass
Suddenly she started hurting
So much she thought she's never rise from the pain
Big heart melting in silence
That was one of the most fascinating and laughable things I had ever seen
Tears came pouring down her cheeks
I couldn’t help staring
Tears came raining down like sands of time in an hourglass
I would later remember this moment my whole life

I feel the night has taken all my lines of thought from me again
And I’ve been there before but never quite so lost in numbing pain
Times and times again I tried to close my eyes pretending
Times and times again I failed to see which game you’re playing
Every now and then I’d realize your words were changing
But up until the end I never saw myself avoiding to see
You want to be sincere but never did you leave an open door
Don’t want to live in fear but every time I look away there’s more
Times and times again I tried to close my eyes pretending
Times and times again I failed to see which game you’re playing
Every now and then I’d realize your words were changing
But up until the end I never saw myself avoiding to see
I feel the night has torn my confidence and left me standing bare
At any moment now I’m bound to disappear into the air

Ophelia

Ophelia
The time is near
You had your chance
He had his dance
Be strong Ophelia
Only the Gods
Can understand
The searing pain
You feel inside
You’re trapped, Ophelia
Ophelia
This is not your fight
Find your peace and quiet
Between shade and light
Below the moon
Where the flowers bloom
In the blue lagoon
Can’t be gone too soon
Ophelia
Ophelia
in Nature’s arms
Lay yourself down
Your flower crown
Will shield you from the cold
Your shattered heart
Will be at peace
From endless sleep
In waters deep
Let yourself go
Just let it all go, now
Mesmerized
Hypnotized
and paralyzed
In your head
The stories stay the same
The cat is tamed
The dove is bound
The robin makes no sound
And time is standing still
Ophelia
The girl is gone
An empty cradle in the dawn
By darkness drawn
You’ve drowned
Mother of plants
Daughter of streams
It does not do
To dwell on dreams
For now it seems
The magic beans are earthbound
Ophelia (They call you mad)
The time is near (But you’re just sad)
You had your dance (He couldn’t love you)
He had his chance (You couldn’t love yourself)
Be strong Ophelia (enough)
Only the Gods (The time is near)
Can understand (The path is clear)
The searing pain (By sorrow strangled)
You feel inside (Your bogy mangled)
The turning tide (In rues entangled)
You’re done, Ophelia (sleeps tonight)
Dear Ophelia

L'enfance s'efface
05:38
|
|||
|
Une lueur un nuage
Fou, perdu sur le rivage
Un million d’étoiles
Prises dans tes voiles
Tu reviens de loin
N’te souviens de rien
Tu as traversé tant de tempêtes
Tu n’sais plus où donner de la tête
Laisse pleurer si tu es triste
Valse tant que l’air te résiste
Car l’enfance s’efface
Mais laisse tant de traces
Quitter sa maison
Sans perdre raison
Fuir encore car il est impensable
D’être cueilli comme une fleur des sables
Changer de vie
Changer de pleurs
Se construire ailleurs
Tomber du nid
Frêle et rêveur
Dehors il fait si peur, il fait si peur

Fly little bird
Out in the wilderness
Cause out here there's nothing left for you – at all
Swim little fish
Out in the ocean blue
Cause out here there's nothing left for you – not at all
I've been watching you from afar
Every day it feels the same
The sadness in your eyes won't go away
You just gotta dream your life away
Fly little bird
Over the hills, into the wild
Dream little girl
Sleepwalk your life away
Cause out here there's nothing left for you – not at all
