about

Inspired by the work of Yves Klein

lyrics

Facing this subtle plane of vastness
Compared to one flare
Vanishing autumn suns
Do not count out here

A thousand crowded streets awaiting
For my soft heels to strike
No opening to cut through
I just wait in spite

What if I just stood aside
And let them all pass by
Would I be left behind
A voiceless Good-Bye?

Drifting steadily facing backwards
My ears are beneath
The soothing ocean’s surface
But still I can breath

Softly linen sleeping landscapes
Retrieve me at last
While the timbre line below us
Belongs to the past

Foggy silhouette of a hilltop
Trees are barely showing through
In the distance between you and me
A curly plane of naval blue

Until at last a sense of sunlight
Seems to appear
Rising up through the mist
Slightly changing its hue

What if I just stood aside
And let it all pass by?
Would I be left behind?
A memory in time?
