Unknown Emerald Dream
03:39
|
|||
|
I keep hearing my heart
it sounds like an organ
in the ruins of a cathedral
in this empty universe
unknown emerald dream
i'm lost within the time
we spent together
like quicksands of the mind
in this empty awareness
unknown emerald dream

Girl In Space
03:26
|
|||
|
you've been alone too long
five senses: almost gone
you glassy-eyed girl
rush through the skies
into the night
and i don't mind the time
away from your sight
come into view, my girl
i checked through a telescope
from the highest point
of the iduna hills
and i miss you still
yet i don't mind the time
looking for your faint light
and now that those days have passed
i wonder what will last
of your long tours
around enceladus
and the other saturn's moons
revolve around the sun
and don't look back

Floating City
03:43
|

|
in the sky, there's a city in the distance
sticking out from the clouds, i can see its shapes
high-flying babylon, appeared from nowhere
all i want now in life is to reach its gates
so i
will find out why
there's a floating city up
in the sky
day & night
rusty chains raining down just like vines and
sticking out from the clouds, i can see their shapes
high-flying babylon, resurrected atlantis
metal thunders like webs stick to the ground
and i
will find out why
there's a floating city up
in the sky
day & night
squares and gardens or chaos and destruction
i'm devoured by the need to see with my eyes
are they too busy with their artistic production
are they plotting a scheme to overrule us
and i'm up late at night
at my window looking up in the sky
hypnotized by
the dim floating city light
now i'm fine
i'm done
wasting night
after night
up till sunrise
let me see you now
floating city lights

Gondwanaland
03:04
|
|||
|
dawn in the glade
the wind carries the sun
on the rivers and grass
of Gondwanaland
Gondwanaland
both ice and sand
on the same path
a young world in half
here’s Gondwanaland
Gondwanaland
i won't remain
here drifting away
the end has just begun
'bye Gondwanaland
South America
Antarctica
India, Africa,
Madagascar,
Australia and Arabia
all here at once
just a glance far

The Regrets' Lawn
02:44
|
|||
|
look, you'll see
the regrets' lawn
fenced in
with lies and yawns
i never meant to play around
with your search for a common ground
i never meant to fool you around
i just wanted to look tough and profound
i thought you'd be
prepared by now
to come visit my
regrets' lawn
i never meant to play around
with your search for a common ground
it's just i'm done with all those lies
i just want to act grumpy and get high

S.O.T.

three days to leave
your whole lifetime behind
climbing the sky one mile at a time
on this faithful saturn v
the time has come
you'll be there in no time
the engine brakes
the computers don't lie
oh my, it’s landing time
and when the l.e.m touched down
on the spotless lunar ground
the sea was quiet
as the stars in the sky
am i really alone this time?
reality can be so sublime at times
i'm moonwalking with heavy tears in my eyes
the sea of tranquillity
has torn my fears apart
it helped me to overcome
the shocks without a scar
hiding the whole earth behind my thumb

The Rain Dove Boogie
03:17
|

|
good morning, love
you slept tight, i hope
did you heard that song
i played while you were numb
i just wanted to
be always here for you
but the time is come
i'm ready to move on
i'll never learn, i thought i was better
but i was wrong all along
wipe my tears out, you long haired weirdo
and let the seaquakes of my mind
pour through the static comprehension
of the paradigm of space & time
i felt the need to join your side
cause now, at least, we’re together
but i don’t know for how long
my mourning dove
where have you gone?
come, fly along
now that i feel forlorn
i just wanted to
be always here for you
but the time is come
i'm ready to move on
i'll never learn, i thought i was better
but i was wrong all along

Meteor Impact
03:21
|
|||
|
I’ve just read in on a paper
man-made chaos destroyed the weather
yet i feel weightless, i’m a feather
phone me when it blows
united skeptics get together
come and doubt now more than ever
to quote the facts would be a lot better
but it’s too annoying to know
is the grease in your hair
taking over your brain
or is it just you
the one to blame
too bad
im not so bad
at losing interest
in your idiotic chants
now think again
I’ve just found out in your lecture
earth's not flat, it's just a conjecture
egocentric, dressed in leather
why ain't we allowed to know?
now pay the price, you're living matter
you owe us money, don't forget it
break your back, don't mind the weather
waste your life so we'll grow
i don't
want
to fill
your shoes
i
belong
to the
moon
and
here's
a notable
fact
i'll die
in a
meteor
impact

Caravan
03:13
|
|||
|
i wanna see
what it feels
to control
my own dreams
and i wanna know
if i can learn
a little bit more about me
i wanna feel
free in my dreams
i wanna see
space debris
all across
field galaxies
i just want to see it all
i wanna dive into a Schwarzschild wormhole
I overlook the itch
i'm ready
i'm in the dark
i'm lying down steady
ready to depart
on the lucid dreams' caravan
i close my eyes
the duvet's heavy
my eyelids shut
i'm lying down steady
ready to depart
on the lucid dreams' caravan

Sad Today
02:59
|
|||
|
i'm quite sad today
it's time to slip away
from the fingers of a god
we made up yesterday
i can't survive the shame
of being alone today
on this ball of mud
lost in the depths of space
is all i see a make-believe or should i just take the blame?
i'm quite sad today
time to mould the clay
to feel mighty as the god
we made up yesterday
i stop to feel the shame
of being alone today
i'm just brainwaves
lost in the depths of space
is all i see a make-believe or should i just take the blame?

Nobody Matters / Alienation = Paranoia
by riːˈjuːnjən (REUNION)
I recorded this single under the moniker riːˈjuːnjən (REUNION) back in the late 2014. Surprisingly, years after I can still stand it pretty well. Which is an utterly underrated achievement.

Sing the Night Away

A 4-songs EP I home-recorded last summer with R.R. from Kubla Khan to roll out our side-project Needless. Two songs written by him, two by me. Hopefully more to come in the future.
