Chaos

from Persona by The Surs

/

lyrics

And then the adventure began
With one sudden movement
In this nothing of all, the silence of a call
That roared over mountaintops
To come of age
With victory and disgrace
Promises and escapes
To die and be reborn in chaos

Torn from safety into struggle
Torn from me in this jungle
Tumbling down the steps of myth
Trying to fly above of it
And to see the truth
Not in appearance but in cries
As the black of a swan
Fades in distance to white

Awake, to be awaken
To the dreams of the dark
To be silently shaken
To set a gigantic mark
Not able to move
To the waiting decline
In the ongoing groove
Of the melody line

Nothing is what it seems
A world is bathing in darkness
Drowning, black in completeness
For as far as he can see
He lives in a blind man’s dream
Ugly people fill his visions
He sees with blurred precision
Let everything be
More different than we can think

He’s drifting on sea land
Curious ‘bout the end
Curious ‘bout the crime
Opponent of time
Formed by Don Quichotte
Not ready for the shot
Illumination frees him soon
Dark side of the moon

Fearless fascination
I can’t stand you
Deathly innocent inspiration
There are still a few
Ways to keep it silent
Ways to keep it down
There is still some lament
A beautiful gown

Dark dweller of nightly obsession
My favourite figure in fiction
I’ll dream with you in understanding
But speak your anger not with a killing
Say, what have I done you wrong?
Haven’t Í made you strong?

He stood up to face me
What horrible liberty
“You will never get it,
You’d better forget it”
He kept the stress present
An ideal, not ideal friend
The anger in his tears
Fructified my fears
I can’t get my neighbour out of my mind
The existence of one
Through existence of the other
Trying to find the fun
In this marvellous brother
Standing there with his gun
In his target seeking eyes
Nothing left to do but run
Holding on to my lies
Cold whistle went through the air
Exhausting silence

With what forces we play
To make of this life a way
And see through faults and mistakes
Whatever it may take
To believe truth isn’t a rule
Tool of an ugly fool
Chaos in illumination:
Truth is contradiction
