5.20 Lyrics

Written by Anne-Claire Rallo

(Alexandre Lamia on « Wilderness »)

Colourblind

I want a life I imagined,

Dreamed every night,

I Want to keep in my heart

This world I created

I like to believe

Somewhere a place exists,

A land far from distress,

Released from the embrace of pain,

Where the world wouldn’t be insane,

Where the world wouldn’t be insane

I created a dream,

A beautiful scene,

Coloured balloons in the air

While my being’s here,

Should I continue to dream

Or return to reality,

Should I want

To love you again,

Should I continue to dream

Or return to reality,

Every day I play this game,

Watching and waiting for the end

I wish to believe

Somewhere a place exists,

A land far from distress,

Released from the embrace of pain

Where the world wouldn’t be insane

I created a dream,

A beautiful scene,

Coloured balloons in the air,

While my being’s here.

Wilderness

Sinking into the deep
Thinking about the leap
It craves our meeting
We crave our freedom

Unfaithful and undeserved
The stars are way too far for us
But they aren’t the only ones
But they aren’t the only ones

Unfaithful and undeserved
The stars are way too far for us
But they aren’t the only ones
But they aren’t the only ones

A hot and black figure
Telling us to go
Walking accross the life
Softly and painfully

Unfaithful and undeserved
The stars are way too far for us
But they aren’t the only ones
But they aren’t the only ones

Unfaithful and undeserved
The stars are way too far for us
But they aren’t the only ones
But they aren’t the only ones.

Golden Drops

Catch the golden drops

As if they were tears of joy,

Golden rain in the sky,

Surrounded by red clouds,

Dark figures will always come

to steal your golden hopes,

Swallow them while you can,

Beware of the black swans,

Cover your eyes,

Cover your ears,

Keep your golden drops,

Dreaming hopes

Golden tears are prayers of those who live

on the other side of the sky,

Beyond the silver lightning

And the rainbow’s cry,

When I look in your eyes to read your heart

I can see this sky,

Dark figures will always come

to steal your golden hopes,

Swallow them while you can,

Beware of the black swans,

Cover your eyes,

Cover your ears,

Keep your golden drops,

Dreaming hopes

Cover your eyes,

Cover your ears,

Keep your golden drops,

Dreaming hopes,

Dreaming pills,

Cover your eyes,

Cover your ears,

Save the golden drops,

From the sky,

Golden tears are prayers of those who live

on the other side of the sky.

Above the Tide

A majestic crow

Wanders above the tide,

Through the blurry clouds,

Darkening the sky,

A black glimpse

Into the air,

Quick like a breath

Deep as despair,

The black bird

Singing in the wind,

Dancing in the mist,

Wishes no more grief

Snowflake on a crow’s wing,

This is the picture of my soul,

A short song to play,

To feed my pain,

This is my bet,

The final act of a thought

Far away from the crowd

Snowflake on a crow’s wing,

Can you hear this lullaby,

Floating around the water,

Come and sing with me,

Don’t be afraid,

There’s no more sin,

No more disgrace,

Listen to the sea,

The weeping sarcasm

Of a thousand smiles

Arise from the foam,

Above the tide,

Above the tide,

Above the tide,

Above the tide,

Listen to the sea,

The weeping sarcasm

Of a thousand smiles

Arise from the foam,

Above the tide,

Above the tide,

Above the tide,

Above the tide,

Listen to the sea,

The weeping sarcasm

Of a thousand smiles

Arise from the foam.

The Old Man in the Snow

A white down in the haze,

Soft and shining,

Twilight eyes consuming

through a raging gaze,

The violence of loneliness

Release a soothing muteness

Wise, wise but alone,

The old loner is far from home,

White, white and pink,

This landscape, really bleak,

The dance of the breeze

deadly parade in the snow,

The old loner keeps a sense of ease

Through this maze of shadow,

And now a little white angel

from nowhere, is fallen,

Whispering to his ears

« You have to be strong enough

To withstand the tears,

You have to be tough »

Trying to find the answers

Inside the forest of wonders

the old man keeps moving

Going over sufferings.

Godless Land

A land without water

A sky without clouds

Days without sun

And nights without moon

A godless land

Deep in my mind

A bitter worship

Are you losing your faith?

Trees without leaves

And Spring without birds

Godless land

Deep in my mind

A bitter worship

Are you losing your faith?

Do you still play this game?

Are you losing your faith?

In this godless land

Dream of places

Behind all this

No celebration

Brave men have run

No more speech to the gods

I hope they will forgive me

Weep no more, my love,

The shadow of hope will grow

Don’t fear the new day coming

Because you painted it,

During the long cold night

When only human beings appear.

Porcelain Hill

I remember the hill,

Perched above the village,

Hidden through clouds and haze,

Overlooking the gods whispering,

When the darkness of the night came out,

Sisyphus boulder can be seen,

Tumbling down over and over again,

Just like the folly of human existence,

Porcelain hill,

Is made of my heart,

Melted by a hundred nights,

Carved out of a thousand dreams,

Smoke and mirrors,

I was that little man,

Running up to the top,

Welcomed by an assembly of dolls,

Here is the porcelain kingdom,

Where your heart and dreams still never-ending

Tumbling down over and over again,

Just like the folly of human existence

Porcelain hill,

Is made of my heart,

Melted by a hundred nights,

Carved out of a thousand dreams

Smoke and mirrors,

Smoke and mirrors

Porcelain hill,

Is made of my heart,

Melted by a hundred nights,

Carved out of a thousand dreams

Smoke and mirrors.

Smiling Stars

The memory of your face,

so strong into my mind,

It can’t be replace,

They say I need time,

I want to talk to you,

again,

Laugh with you,

and forget my pain,

When I look at the sky

I can see your eyes

When I stare at the stars

I don’t see any goodbye

A thousand of smiling stars

Just a path to a new home,

Beyond the dancing rainbow

Leading to the show

Where the voices come from

Now you are gone,

Why did you leave us alone?

I am like the angel of despair

Totally bare, totally bare

If you can hear this song,

remember where you belong,

And please wait for me,

For the sake of my sanity,

When I look at the sky

I can see your eyes

When I stare at the stars

I don’t see any goodbye

A thousand of smiling stars,

smiling stars.
