Eyes on the wall,
And in a deep stare it takes me back into those cavernous falls,
Of fire and ice, with the snow filled gem on the path
That we found there by surprise.
A man on a black sand beach
And he rubs my eyes with tectonic dirt
But I’m still caught up in my fixation
Of things I think I’ll never deserve.
When part of my head just wants the fire,
Part of my head just needs some warmth,
And why do I keep these weird desires,
Pulling my conscience back and forth?
Will I spend my whole life,
In the indecision -
My mind always stuck on the other side?
Pacing my steps now I’m going nowhere
Throw up my thoughts to the power lines -
They’re falling back and forth.
Eyes on the floor,
And in a deep stare it takes me back into a scene I adore,
Paris in spring;
With the hotel soap in my eyes, I scrubbed it off as I sang:
“How do I beat this, how do I win?” As you came up by the stairs.
You said that melody makes you cry, there’s no use in the amount you prepare.
When part of my head just wants the fire,
Part of my head just needs some warmth,
Why do I keep these weird desires,
Pulling my conscience back and forth
Will I spend my whole life,
In the indecision,
My mind always stuck on a better time -
Pacing my steps now I’m going nowhere.
The hourglass shaking inside my mind,
It’s going back and forth.
It’s going back and forth.
This is what I remember emo and pop punk music *sounding* like in the 90s and 2000s, but not what it actually sounded like. basking in the glow is an emotionally mature update of those times, and much appreciated. thepirc
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
If you've ever had to Google clumsy phrases to find a word that matched a feeling you could only feebly describe, and you ended up discovering words like hiraeth, sehnsucht, or saudade, The Million Masks of God may be an excellent companion soundtrack to your experience. joel
I got to listen to some of these songs live during Origami Angel's tour in 2022, which was a really cool experience. I loved them enough to buy a CD!!! KZDEX
