Subsignal - The Sea Songtexte

Something broke the even surface,
Camouflaged and partly blind,
Parading fireflies
In the orange light.

Something nameless woke
When we
Closed our eyes to the burning salt
On an island surrounded by the sea and the darkened earth.

Each other's perfect luck
And each other's pain
Each other's promise
And each other's guilt

Each other's blessing
And each other's curse
Each other's everything
Each other's loss

Each other's blue sky
Each other's rain
Each other's sunlight
And each other's night

Each other's paradise
And each other's hell
Some things remain
While others get lost

I saw the writhing shapes of men
Bathed in moonlight,
Beautiful and monstrous,

Were a song felt in the deepest bones,
Felt the soothing wind like a lover's warmth,

Were like butterflies
With flailing wings
Inside the palm

Just a picture dear
Swallowed by the sea, by the sea…..
