The Spinning Wheel
04:17
|

|
At the spinning wheel we can hardly feel any sense of the world outside
At the spinning wheel we must make a deal to go on til the clock doth chime
Spinning hands on the carousels of time move faster
Spinning hands on the carousels of time
Do you hear them sing (ahh)
Pull the pieces apart if you need to, use the cogs of your heart and soul
All the lovers once tied to the strings that were burnt at both ends, their puppetry still flows through the shadows
Spinning arms on the carousels of life grow stronger
Spinning arms of life grow strong
Do you hear them sing (ahh)
Ringing bells on the steeples, they won't hesitate
Ringing bells on the steeples in our minds resonate
Do you hear all the echoes in the air they create
Singing bells in the steeples of our minds
Do you hear them sing (ahh)

Cyborg Girl
03:50
|

Beauty in black and white appears in front of me
Doll-like complexion from another galaxy
Who's she going to find tonight, who is it going to be?
I wish I had the time to fight but this time it won't be me
I'm running far from the cyborg girl, she can follow in my dreams
because a fallen star might make me yearn for what's not made for what I'm made to be
It's a visuality, oh, it's a visuality
so I'll be running away from the cyborg girl in a planet in my dreams
Three shades of coloured light they blend so subtly
Two glossy sphere-like eyes turn focus towards me
If you could define perfection in a time lapse
Could she change my mind's direction to think that she might be just that
Perhaps?
I'm running far from the cyborg girl she can follow in my dreams
because a fallen star might make me yearn for what's not made for what I'm made to be
It's a visuality, oh, it's a visuality
so I'll be running away from the cyborg girl in a planet in my dreams
It's a visuality for a box of memories
It's a visuality, she wasn't made for what I'm made to be
It's a visuality for a box of memories
It's a visuality to rediscover in my dreams

Nymphs Of The Night
03:41
|
|||
|
There's a place that I used to call safety,
Now I know I must stay far away from that midnight dungeon full of storm-bred thunder
I've explored better passageways lately,
Put my faith in the thoughts that have saved me from my own hindsight,
when I'm trapped in my mind
In the light I cannot see, but in my darkened dreams they follow me, those...
Dark nymphs of the night, preserving the light,
Burning like fireflies,
Dark nymphs of the night, painting my shadows with smiles of silver
The skies of my mind like diamonds shine
but I can't decide what I need to find
Every day leads the way to another land,
New distractions created by my own two hands
- they like to challenge reality, forming fearsome dreamland colonies
One day I'll discover my home cloud, with the help of the sights and the sounds of the spirits around
In the light I cannot see, but in my darkened dreams they follow me,
those...
Dark nymphs of the night, preserving the light,
Burning like fireflies,
Dark nymphs of the night, painting my shadows with smiles of silver
The skies of my mind like diamonds shine
but I can't decide - what do I need to find?
Cobwebs of the moon are sometimes swept away,
but some might still return, past memories of yesterday's rainshine,
Past fragments of old times lie in the skies of my mind,
with those...
Dark nymphs of the night, preserving the light,
Burning like fireflies,
Dark nymphs of the night, painting my shadows with smiles of silver
The skies of my mind like diamonds shine
but I can't decide what I need to find

Cutting the Surface
03:49
|
|||
|
Come with me, I see the words in your eyes reflecting on the water inside,
I hear the ripple echoes so translucent, I thought I heard your mind pull through it,
The moon is shining on the surface to beckon the tide to pull you inside
I feel unsettled emotion in the bubble uninvited somebody is cutting the surface, cutting the surface with a brand new blade
Unsettled emotion in the bubble uninvited somebody is cutting the surface, cutting the surface of a place once so safe
Cutting the surface, cutting the surface with a brand new blade
Cutting the surface, cutting the surface of a place once so safe
Cutting the surface, there's unwelcome disturbance in here
Unwelcome disturbance in the atmosphere
Hide away, protect the gardens with blossom thoughts,
Create a moment unreachable
Remember no matter how enraged you're feeling you'll always have your place to heal in
The moon will shine upon the surface to beckon the tide to pull you inside
I feel unsettled emotion in the bubble uninvited somebody is cutting the surface, cutting the surface with a brand new blade
Unsettled emotion in the bubble uninvited somebody is cutting the surface, cutting the surface of a place once so safe
Cutting the surface, cutting the surface with a brand new blade
Cutting the surface, cutting the surface of a place once so safe
Cutting the surface, there's unwelcome disturbance in here
Unwelcome disturbance in the atmosphere
Go to sleep, allow the world to rotate around the universe as you float away towards the aura of ecstasy
You'll soon return to your dreams

Take Control
04:44
|

|
Power of the mind makes friends with the memories
Power of the mind makes friends with my own enemies
So let her reign again with arms wide open,
She will wear the crown that you have chosen,
Let her reign again, release the potion
that will camouflage your past emotion
when you take control
Take control
Reading the signs from a difficult angle
You're straining your eyes, but the shapes just won't assemble
You need to decide on the plan of action
With the power of the mind you'll feel your soul's attraction
So let her reign again with arms wide open,
She will wear the crown that you have chosen,
Let her reign again, release the potion
that will camouflage your past emotion
when you take control
Take control
Power of the mind makes friends when you take control

Black Octopi
04:09

|
At the bottom of the sea is where there merman came to me
He gave me a fallen star, I trapped it up in a rusty jar
At the bottom of the sea is where the merman gave me an offering
that I took so openly, until he cursed my memory
Sea spiders of dark waters, follow me, protect my sanity
Black octopi at the back of my mind,
Beneath the rocks they hide
Well I tried to leave them behind,
I think they followed the tide
Black octopi, over the rocks they climb
When the time is right they'll emerge to the surface of the world that waits inside
At the bottom of the sea is where the merman cursed me
He left me in the dark
At the bottom of the sea, all the creatures surrounded me
and in a daze I swam away to the mermaids on the bay
Sea spiders of dark waters, follow me, protect my sanity
Black octopi at the back of my mind,
Beneath the rocks they hide
Well I tried to leave them behind,
I think they followed the tide
Black octopi in the middle of my mind,
Over the rocks they climb
When the time is right they'll emerge to the surface of the world that waits inside
At the top of the ocean is where the mermaid sang to me
So high that she shattered the glass
Setting me free from the merman's star
and she left me with a happier heart, a happier heart
Sea spiders of dark waters follow me, protect my sanity
Black octopi at the back of my mind,
Beneath the rocks they hide
Well I tried to leave them behind,
I think they followed the tide
Black octopi in the middle of my mind,
Over the rocks they climb
When the time is right they'll emerge to the surface of the world that waits inside
They'll emerge from the surface of the world that waits inside

Be Someone

Hear the rain but paint the sun,
Find the hilltops, start to run, run away for the road that's waiting
Feel the words you want to say,
Let your instincts lead the way when you think that the path keeps breaking
Pick the stones up off the ground,
Build the tower, create the sound of the universe you wait in
Steal the smiles from the memories of carefree summers by the sea
It's your world you're painting
You hear the voice I heard before,
I hear the voice again once more
You've got the chance to just ignore,
I'll send those voices out to war
You hear the voice I heard before
I hear the voice again once more
You've got the chance to just ignore,
I made the choice, I slammed the door
When my life got loud, I put my thoughts inside a mushroom cloud
I ate the flowers and I traveled so far in time I saw my future
It didn't matter that I had no-one, because I had the chance to be someone, to be someone
Trade the pain for a happy soul,
Escape the game and live alone - one day you might find her
She's the one with the golden key to all the doors of destiny
Don't try to recognise her
Just look ahead and soon you'll see, you're everything you need to be
Refine your self-integrity,
Release your mind and you'll be free
The angel's waiting at the gate, not a minute too soon not a second too late
Design your life, create your fate
There's enough space to overestimate
When my life got loud, I put my thoughts inside a mushroom cloud
I ate the flowers and I traveled so far in time I saw my future
It didn't matter that I had no-one, because I had the chance to be someone, to be someone from another dimension, someone
You hear the voice I heard before,
I hear the voice again once more
You've got the chance to just ignore
I'll send those voices out to war
Just look ahead and soon you'll see
You're everything you need to be
Refine your self-integrity
Release your mind and you'll be free
When my life got loud, I put my thoughts inside a mushroom cloud
I ate the flowers and I traveled so far in time I saw my future
It didn't matter that I had no-one, because I had the chance to be someone, to be someone from another dimension, someone
Someone

Planet Home
04:03

When you wake, do you wait for a reason to gather all your thoughts, take a walk out in the rainy weather,
Do you wait for the skies to make your own decisions,
Do you take responsibility of your mind?
There's a place far away, you're getting closer to it
Every day leads the way, even if you don't know it
You create every blade with your imaginative memory
you can play, and take control of your mind
You will build your planet home far from home,
and you will take it everywhere that you go,
Oh you will build your planet home far from home
and you will take it everywhere that you go
Use your head, be prepared, but still don't over-think it
Watch your step, but don't be scared to overestimate it
You will find a new ground to build foundations upon
Cleaner air will surround the passages of your mind
You build your planet home far from home,
oh you will take it everywhere that you go
When you build your planet home far from home
You will take it everywhere that you go
Planet home
So don't worry, don't wait, but still be patient cos it's never too late, for the time being at least
Put your things in a bag, every possession will be a reminder of what you used to call home
Oh still be patient cos it's never too late, for the time being at least
Put your things in a bag, every possession will be a reminder of what you used to call home
You build your planet home far from home,
oh you will take it everywhere that you go
You build your planet home far from home
and you will take it everywhere that you go
Planet home
Planet home

Aurelia Aurita

Planetary creation, throw me into the tide
Pull me into the land of transparency,
I am ready to say goodbye
Say goodbye to the mistranslated lullabies
Leave them behind, and we can swim towards new understanding
Let them fade away,
Your island far away will be my new crash landing
Far far away, there's an island you made,
A solitary destination
Are you afraid that the island might fade along with your personified creation?
Aurelia Aurita, silently guiding me
Aurelia Aurita, play me your tune,
Take me to the jelly of the moon
Floating messengers,
Let me summon the moon tide
Will you help me assemble these moments
Will you help me to say goodbye
Say goodbye to the mistranslated lullabies
Leave them behind, and you can swim towards new understanding
Let them fade away
Your island far away will be your new crash landing
Far far away, there's an island you made,
A solitary destination
Are you afraid that the island might fade along with your personified creation?
Aurelia Aurita, silently guiding me
Aurelia Aurita, play me your tune,
Take me to the jelly of the moon

Edge of the World

Living in illusion,
Living in homemade fantasy
Nobody to prove myself to
but now you're welcome to my everything
And as I feel myself divide,
I let my soul swim in your eyes,
Come on explore now, jump inside,
You never know what you might find in here
Don't you dare say your goodbyes
Don't want to hear mistaken lies
Come on explore now, jump inside
As you fall through paradise,
grip the walls from the highest heights
Fill your pockets with the melodies
Feel your soul, let your mind be free
As you crawl through paradise,
Grip the walls from the highest heights
Fill your pockets with the melodies,
Feel your soul, let your mind be free to roam,
but don't let yourself land at the bottom of the deep dark hole
Feel free to roam, but don't let yourself land at the bottom of the deep dark hole at the edge of the world
Swimming in an open canvas,
Letting all the colours wrap themselves around each memory
Many years were spent alone, but now you're welcome to my everything
And as I feel myself divide,
I let my soul swim in your eyes,
Come on explore now, jump inside,
You never know what you might find in here
Don't you dare say your goodbyes
Don't want to hear mistaken lies
Come on explore now, jump inside
But as you fall through paradise,
grip the walls from the highest heights
Fill your pockets with the melodies
Feel your soul, let your mind be free
As you crawl through paradise,
Grip the walls from the highest heights
Fill your pockets with the melodies,
Feel your soul, let your mind be free to roam,
but don't let yourself land at the bottom of the deep dark hole
Feel free to roam, but don't let yourself land at the bottom of the deep dark hole at the edge of the world
At the edge of the world
The edge of the world
