I’m so high
Say bye
I’m going up
Time creeps by
I’m fine
I’m going up
So much stress
What’s next
Keep going up
Fear is here
Hold dear
Only up

There I go
Gone to find our lie
At the bottom
Can’t wait
Through another day
Gotta drown it
Have you seen
Have you seen my
Pink elephant
I’m at war
With reality
Pass the bottle
I’ll wait
Send them all my best
Try to find me
Have you seen
Have you seen my
Pink elephant
Have you seen
Have you seen my
Pink elephant
Have you seen
Have you seen my
Pink elephant

Here I am
I’ve come to take you where you want to go
Swerving, stirring
Catch me if you can is what you said to me
Joy ride
I’ll be by your side
Take my hand
And go
When the sun comes up
We’ll be alright
We’re alright
You’ve made it clear
You march to the beat of your own drum
Pulsing, beating
It’s so clear now that my heart belongs with you
Joy ride
I’ll be by your side
Take my hand
And go
When the sun comes up
We’ll be alright
We’re alright

Drifting

Hear me out
It’s not hard to notice
I’m feeling lost with no conviction
Turned around
My mind is out of focus
Endless wandering, you know this
On and on
(I’ll call it sufferance)
and on and on
(Our turbulence)
Pointless Drifting
On and on
(I’ll call it sufferance)
and on and on
(Our turbulence)
Pointless Drifting
Revealing now
My time will come I see this
Pushing back toward convergence
What I’ve found
Is healing I’m inducing
And when I die I’ll feel it coming
On and on
(I’ll call it sufferance)
and on and on
(Our turbulence)
Pointless Drifting
On and on
(I’ll call it sufferance)
and on and on
(Our turbulence)
Pointless Drifting

Glowing

|
Aiming for the sun
Don’t fly too close
Faith has come undone
Lying in repose
Wildfire burns
But it’s killing me
Drowning all your words
I’ll douse your memory
Where am I always going
When I’m without
Here will be my glowing
Where i have been
Reeling in your mind
Hanging by a thread
A shattered world so blind
Leaving you for dead
Reflect upon your past
Reaping what you saw
You’re not meant to last
Smolder on your own
Where am I always going
When I’m without
Here will be my glowing
Where i have been

Hollywood Daydream

Listen close and follow me
To where the grass is green
Don’t ask questions
Not a mention
Fancy furs and diamond rings
A shimmer in your eyes cause you’re golden
Unbeholden
Who cares
(If you ever really had a doubt)
Not me
(Search your sole and look inside yourself)
Quicksand
(You know nothing else can be)
Hollywood daydream
Who cares
(If you ever really had a doubt)
Not me
(Search your sole and look inside yourself)
On the surface
Or as far as you can see
And everybody knows your name
Flashing lights and smile for the camera
Steeped glamor
Silver spoon in hand, not me
Lose my grip and kill the reflection
In my conniption
Who cares
(If you ever really had a doubt)
Not me
(Search your sole and look inside yourself)
Quicksand
(You know nothing else can be)
Hollywood daydream
Who cares
(If you ever really had a doubt)
Not me
(Search your sole and look inside yourself)
On the surface
Or as far as you can see

Mental rut
Shake my head
I could do this all along
Recalling how
Ever near
Don’t know, now I see so clear
Clear the air
I’ll agree
I rightfully do seem upbeat
Lifted up
Every year
No ill intention, no not here
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree
Mental Rut
Shake my head
Clear the air
I’ll agree

If you could see
Waves crash over me
I try to breathe
Let go in time
I’ve got to feel you leave
Catch release
And I saw you
Waiting
Lying in my wake
Defeated
And I heard you
Screaming
Dying in my wake
Defeated
Abnormal
Shimmers fading
Light leaks through the seams
I can’t see
Lungs full, mind numb
You can’t drown the sea
But it got me
And I saw you
Waiting
Lying in my wake
Defeated
And I heard you
Screaming
Dying in my wake
Defeated
Abnormal

Pretend

When I washed up on the shore
Looking nothin like me
but in my dream
I found this message once before
The broken bottle cut me
But I don’t feel
I’ll pretend I’ve made it
Meet me at the lighthouse
Visions on the pavement
Meet you at the lighthouse
Scattered, moving up above
Reigniting a way
To find my piece
A sudden wind upon my face
Then floating off to nowhere
But I don’t mind
I’ll pretend I’ve made it
Meet me at the lighthouse
Visions on the pavement
Meet you at the lighthouse
Stranded pigeon
Insignificant lemming
Wandering, faltering
Death embraces its’ sheets over translucent specks,
Misconception bubbling bottomless drain
Disillusioned
Lonely
Love boils in an endless cup of coffee
Feathers losing their ties to create a sense of flight
Languishing in hopelessness
Buddha’s wallet of light and transcendence misplaces the thought of wonder
Sing
Frames of sporadic gestures to illuminate Playgrounds of mangers
September’s first hue is cold
The hardest ‘thing’ to hold
Set this free
Dark specks
Ennui can’t settle in this salty sea

everything is alive
by Slowdive
supported by 17 fans who also own “Join the Circus”
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
