From the first day we met
I knew it was our destiny
Divinely designed
Your light was a beacon
That was calling out to me
We followed our hearts
Such a place of familiarity
Like long lost souls
Together again
I am the Queen of Stars
(The Illuminator)
And you are the King of Angels
(Peaceful Warrior)
Together we are the Two of Hearts
Forming a perfect union
Discovering the truth of who we are
Creating something greater than ourselves
In our world with passion
We share our hopes and dreams
I help you to heal
And you show me that I am worthy
Inspiring each other
To believe in our abilities
Creating is love
And love is the healer of all things
A journey of light
Of growing and expanding
You are for me
I am for you
Together we've come a long way
I am the Queen of Stars
(The Illuminator)
And you are the King of Angels
(Peaceful Warrior)
Together we are the Two of Hearts
Forming a perfect union
Discovering the truth of who we are
Creating something greater than ourselves
You are for me
And I am for you
You are for me
Together we've come a long way

Ready
Set
GO!
Don't you realize you're being lied to?
I do not consent, nor should you
And I can't defend what I see
It's plain as day, believe you, me
(Uh-huh)
You have to find a way to break this chain
Pull out of their grip, start over again
You better run run run
Run as fast as you can
And they'll surround you
Keeping you from the other side
You better run before it all comes down
A rush of blood
In a rush of blood to the head
Picking up all your momentum
It's in the darkness where you can see your light
So you can find your way in this crazy life
I don't understand for the life of me
Why you can't see true reality
Just as sure as a bird takes flight
Awakening is your spiritual right
(Uh-huh)
What they feed you is complete bullshit
You made your bed, but don't lie in it
You better run run run
Run as fast as you can
And they'll surround you
Keeping you from the other side
You better run before it all comes down
A rush of blood
In a rush of blood to the head
Picking up all your momentum
It's in the darkness where you can see your light
So you can find your way in this crazy life
So you can find your way in this crazy life
It's in the darkness where you can see your light
Picking up all your momentum
In a rush of blood to the head

Falling Into You
05:00

|

There's a space between
My world and yours
Where our souls meet
And we are free
Drifting
In layers of light
As pure energy
Like gravity
Pulling us together
Crashing
Falling into you
We are stardust
From other galaxies
Constellations shine upon us
Shooting stars collide
The ether is our true reality
Our consciousness exists as one
We are and always will be
Together in infinity
Like gravity
Pulling us together
Crashing
Falling into you
Floating with the stars
It's here where you will find us
Where anything
You can imagine is true
An odyssey of the mind
This is where the universe presides

Do you feel alive?
Feel your breath inside?
Find a way to get away
To get away
From here
In my mind I will find a place
I will find a place
That's true
Thoughts escape away from me
Away from me
They swirl around and confound
So I can't see
Cleanse my mind and I will find
Clarity
Love will heal and reveal
Set me free
Will you find a spark
To set your soul alight?
If I were to seize the day
To seize the day
Carpe diem
I would find a better way
A better way
Let go
Thoughts escape away from me
Away from me
They swirl around and confound
So I can't see
Cleanse my mind and I will find
Clarity
Love will heal and reveal
Set me free

So long ago now
My memories have faded
Of the days when you were alive
Those were the times
Such precious times
Your blonde hair
And blue eyes
So beautiful
In every way
Flowers and unicorns
Filled all your days
Of all the times we spent together
I thought that we'd have forever
I never would have imagined
You'd live a life so tragic
(So tragic)
Broken hopes and dreams
Never to be seen
A bittersweet reminder
Every eleventh of September
A tale of a life short lived
(So short lived)
I gave you all I could give
(I did)
The winter, so full of gloom
But in the spring the flowers still bloom
Remember
Remember
When we were running through the field
A storm came
But you wanted to pick the
Wildflowers instead
You always said to follow
Your heart without asking if it's okay
Remember
Remember
Our love will always stay
Remember
Remember

Mantra
04:21
|
|

|
Battered and beaten down to the core
Always willing to come back for more
As calm as a windless sea
With a forceful ability
When induced can fight like hell
No one could ever tell
Able to grasp for what is right
With a rare power of sight
I'm breaking down
It's all coming down
If we could be still then we'll
See all the years
Breaking down
It's all coming down
If we could be still then we'll
See all the years
There is vision gained and lost
Every obstacle must be crossed
Without sight the going is slow
Moving forward is the only way to go
Frightened and yearning to see
God don't take my vision from me
I'm ready for this all to end
I want to see the truth again
I'm breaking down
It's all coming down
If we could be still then we'll
See all the years
Breaking down
It's all coming down
If we could be still then we'll
See all the years
I - am - love
I - am - love
I - am - love
I - am - love

Look!
Up at the sky
I look up at the sky
What do I see?
White streaks
All around me
Fashioned in stripes and plaids
They stretch across the blue
Trailing
Falling on you
Don't just spray 'em
Barium
The sky is falling
Yet hidden in plain sight
Does this seem normal
As the jets soar to great heights?
Leaving their trails behind
To streak our bright blue skies
With a cocktail of
Chemical surprise
A day will come again
Where endless skies of boundless blue
And cotton candy clouds
And subtle hues will be the truth
This storm will pass
Stripes and plaids will run their course
Mother nature is
A reckoning force
Don't just spray 'em
Barium
So take a deep breath
Be the calm in the storm
Lead the way
To beat them at their own game
The sky's the limit
This is where it has to end
Things must change for the better
Before we're all dead
The sky is falling
It's falling

Night Walker
03:42

The moonlight is bright
Casting shadows on the city
The streets are silent
Everyone is sleeping
He goes for a walk
Cell phone in his pocket
Got a camera in his hand
Weather will not stop him
He walks to the end of the street
Steadily to the beat
Stops at the sign on the corner
Captures it with his camera
Walking swiftly
In the night
Still here
Breathing
Feeling alive
Alive
Lost in deep thought
With fog on his breath
Tall, dark and swift
He passes windows with
His reflection staring back
Under the street lights
And his shadow follows
Down the Riverwalk
Where he's king of the fire escape
Climbing with ease and with grace
Finding the view from the top
Methodically taking shots
No souls
No light
Alone in the night
Still here
Breathing
The only way to be
Still here
Breathing
The only way to be

Vultures

If you want to be free
Come fly with me
We'll soar above fields and roads
Leading to the city
Far away we roam
Looking for our destiny
Perching high in the trees
Overlooking scenery
Circling round and round
Waiting so patiently
On a wing and a prayer
We carry on so fervently
Consuming death itself
Cleaning up the country
We are the circle of life
Keepers of the Earth, can't you see
If you want to be free
Come drive with me
We'll head outside of town
Into the country
Passing the carrion
Killed by our machinery
Tossing our guilt aside
Let the vultures feed
Circling round and round
Ever so gracefully
Like shadows gliding above
Searching for the next feed
Finding peace in the skies
And preying with ease
We are the scavengers
Misunderstood vehemently
Consuming death itself
Cleaning up your country
We are the circle of life
Keepers of the Earth, can't you see

I can't deny
The way I feel about you
And I do
So long it goes
What do I really know?
Tell the truth
If we were to meet again
We'd soar so high above
And touch the sky and stars
We'd feel our breath while kissing
And be free to just be
The only ones existing
I need you
Oh so true
If we could be
Together all the time
Get in line
Life's but a dream
Gently flow downstream
Sail away
If we were to meet again
We'd soar so high above
And touch the sky and stars
We'd feel our breath while kissing
And be free to just be
The only ones existing
I need you
Oh so true
If we were to meet again
We'd soar so high above
And touch the sky and stars
We'd feel our breath while kissing
And be free to just be
The only ones existing
I need you
Oh so true

In the autumn
Under the maple tree
Fiery red leaves
Ablaze all around me
The wind fans their flame
Setting them free
Covering the ground red
In their last glory
It's better to burn out
Than fade away
Twirling, falling down
Surrounding me
They drift and float
Ever so aimlessly
Showing their true color
So boldly
I absorb their warmth
And radiant beauty
My mind wanders
In this sea of red leaves
I never want it to end
This healing frequency
As the sun fades
Their ambient glow remains
Like embers slowly burning
Then dying without warning
It's better to burn out
Than fade away
Red leaves falling down
From the maple tree
They drift and float
Ever so aimlessly
Like red flames aglow
Enchanting me
I absorb their warmth
And radiant beauty
Twirling, falling down
Consuming me
Showing their true color
So boldly
They set my heart aflame
With their beauty
Whisper in my ear
Your story
Your story

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
