lyrics

Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light

Currents tend to unannouncedly modify their patterns
Not to provoke my insecurity, of that I’m sure
Trying to adjust, I am trying to adjust the gears
Before I get too lost

And you arrived with the solstice and your scars
Only one sign of danger was enough to have you on alert
I’ll lay my loads all over you

Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light
As the symbols rush around our stack of words
Is it a trick of ambivalence
Triggered by an invisible resonance?
Do you see it?
It’s a never-ending turn for those sailing alone
Until someone overtakes to shake your milestones

I listened real carefully and I thought I was you
Because you entered my machinery
And stoked what others cannot see
Could it be there’s some northern star guiding me
Whenever I’m in need of it?

And through your eyes I see the child you keep inside
Standing out like a special emerald
On a guiltless moor
Now, lay your loads all over me.

Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light
As the symbols rush around our stack of words
Is it a trick of ambivalence
Triggered by an invisible resonance?
Do you see it?
It’s a never-ending turn for those sailing alone
Until someone overtakes to shake your milestones

Overnight raconteurs

Just carry on, the rest is wrong

Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light

It’s a never-ending turn for those sailing alone
Until someone overtakes to shake your milestones
To shake your milestones.
