about

[Omar]

The first set of verses here reflect the memory of seeing hundreds of landscapes pass by at top speed through the window of a moving vehicle. The memory of numerous trips I took when I was between 11 and 12 in the company of someone I thought I knew, but who turned out to be a complete stranger who incessantly spewed inconsistencies and insults. That person didn’t know me and vice-versa, however much the years and blood ties bound us. In a maybe abstract and unintelligible way I tried to give a voice to all children who go through the tribulations of not only parental divorce, but of the psychological abuse that can happen and which a child isn’t capable of understanding. The song’s title is a complete counterpoint to what the words narrate: a dumb memory that I share with my bandmates, my friends, that has nothing to do with the lyrics.

lyrics

Deserts (are) fading
Always facing the Deep Temple.
Oceans (are) shining
Firewater tastes like plastic and metal.
Tundras (fade-in) leading
Feeding for their own raving.
Gardens dehydrating
Paling faces are aching.

Fix up my rib cage and spit on my lungs.
<<Use a pair of tongues.>>
Read another page and say it out loud.
Say <<Je en sais pas.>>
Skip your job with rage when it's allowed.
Say <<Trou du cul.>>
Strip onstage and fly away if you're proud.
<<Vas te faire foutre.>>

Browbeat – Dead rats inside.
Offbeat – The knot that ties us
It's bowing – Before our eyes.
Let us fly away – High to the skies.

A pair of empty faces – Like empty traces.
Nothing will be the same – Nothing will repair this pain again.
