Eclipse 05:34
Hide in your shadow To live another day You’re safe inside your sorrow No one sees you there Block away the light The constant expectations They want you to fight, Escape, abort the mission ‘Cause you’re a mystery to them It’s when the sun is hiding you that I see you shining And when the stars are sheltering you, I see you rising Why do I try to reach you, you’re hundred miles away As I lie here watching you You’re beautiful today The night sky is clear And alone in the middle You wanna hide your fear I wanna solve your riddle I’ve studied from afar You’ve seen the way I stare I want to know your secret Am I even aware That you and I are the same It’s when the sun is hiding you that I see you shining And when the stars are sheltering you, I see you rising Why do I try to reach you, you’re hundred miles away As I lie here watching you You’re beautiful today It’s when the sun is hiding you that I see you shining And when the stars are sheltering you, I see you rising Why do I try to reach you, you’re hundred miles away

Lying down on the ground, another beating Like a knife, like a punch that I’m receiving I know this place too well, I understand I’m fading, fading. And the fight, and the fight keeps on going And I want, but I can’t, retaliate I keep on closing down my ways I know it’s playing in my head These are the things I need to say You have no longer control over me This is my life and who I want to be You take me down but who are you to be So disrespectful Look at yourself before you criticize What I’ll achieve will come as a surprise I know, on the inside, I’m the cure to your poison All the days, all the years of being frozen When all I wanted was to be chosen I have the right to be more than a shell of myself Now I take back the control of my mind Leave out the ropes that held me tight And like a king I’ll rise. I know it’s playing in my head These are the things I need to say You have no longer control over me This is my life and who I want to be You take me down but who are you to be So disrespectful Look at yourself before you criticize What I’ll achieve will come as a surprise I know, on the inside, I’m the cure to your poison This is the moment I wake up I’m not yours to play with I leave before my time is up I breathe again You have no longer control over me This is my life and who I want to be You take me down but who are you to be So disrespectful Look at yourself before you criticize What I’ll achieve will come as a surprise I know, on the inside, I’m the cure to your poison This is the moment I wake up I breathe again You are a virus of the mind but I’m not running away I have the power to emerge Inside my veins I’ll hunt you down, I’ll come around and you won’t see me coming

I was lost in my perfection. A veil on my eyes prevented me to see the triviality of my actions, and what I basked into. I thought I knew everything; the code to make my own way. But I am back to where I started. At least now, I know nothing… I searched for the stars, I searched for my place among them. I am brand new, a cell in this universe, a bud without roots, a soul without kindness. And then you came. A shadow, an illusion, but I could feel your pain, your loss, your mystery. To find you, I needed to loose myself; now I’m as empty as the sky. Oh, the sky… I wish I could fly. Hold me close, and never let go… I feel nothing. A flash of light in front of my eyes and then, I see myself in the nothingness. No more torture for the sake of the world. I’ve done enough. Have I done enough ? I spent all my life running; from something, to nothing… I guess I wanted to understand the world when I couldn’t understand myself. What is my world now ? I forget everything that matters to me, there’s only you I care about. But how could I care for what’s not real ? Hypnotized in your arms, I feel weak, and yet stronger than ever. It’s like I hold all the answers I’ve been searching for, and yet I can’t understand them. How could you bear such vastness ? Is it why your eyes feel so alive ? Is it why your breath is so warm ? Is it why your arms hold me when I can’t even hold myself ? Is this the reason you exist ? For the peace of mind The projection of my life reminds me of where I failed, but I don’t care anymore : inside my veins comes a new breath. I’ve reached the high point of my existence, now I can fall from the cliff I’ve been hanging onto. Will I find the reason for all of this ? Not myself, not anyone; not good or evil; not the love and life that fades away. Maybe there is no reason. Maybe you are.

The path is clear when you’re awake Still not an easy one to walk Don’t look back, don’t turn back Feel the wind in your arms Don’t be afraid to fall It’s our fate to all We’re free to fail along the way Free to make our own mistakes We will build a new parade On the days of wandering No one writes my own story No one stand in my way No escape for my awakening From the days of wandering Fix your collar or take it off Be the one without a code The only one in control Give the silence to those voices Take the place you’re worthy of Don’t be afraid to lose You’re on fire and your mind is on the loose We’re free to fail along the way Free to make our own mistakes We will build a new parade On the days of wandering No one writes my own story No one stand in my way No escape for my awakening From the days of wandering Have faith in me ‘Cause I’ve faith in you Have faith in me You’ve got the world to see The path is clear ‘Cause you’re awake You’re the one in control We’re free to fail along the way Free to make our own mistakes We will build a new parade On the days of wandering No one writes my own story No one stand in my way No escape for my awakening From the days of wandering

about

This album is a reflection on human life and the quest to find the meaning of our existence. As we search for an answer beyond the stars, to the corners of the universe, we fall back to what's the most certain in our life : the love and support of people that surround us.
