about

Music made in the middle of 2023 was put away to be released when it felt right.

lyrics

Lyrics:

It was not Death, for I stood up,
and all the dead lie down
Who am I? Who am I trying to be?
Not myself, no one but myself.
But I can't be myself
Want to be someone I've never been
Living in a fantasy to bury reality
Making myself the mystery
A strong facade disguising the misery

"Like others, I did not see
As others have seen, I could not bring
My passions from a common spring
From the same fountain I did not take
My sorrow - I could not awaken
My heart rejoices in the same shade
And all that I love, I love alone."

My flesh stiffens
My eyes open numb
I can't get up
As if my life is scrapped away,
Rooted in a bed of thorns
The birds no longer sing
And wrapped in a frame,
And I can't breathe
Without a key,
And everything that moved has frozen

"She dwells with Beauty - Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:
In the very temple of Delight
Melancholy has its sacred shrine,
when she stimulates herself by feeling the bitter taste of the veil
Her soul should taste the sadness of her strength
And be among his clouded trophies hanging."
