about

This tracks shows how insane it can feel to look for equilibrium between stillness and motion.
Now that we're all forced into stillness, let me know how this tune makes you perceive motion.

lyrics

Be still In motion.
Hands of glass, I can’t stop climbing.
New jail’s bars where we hide, long sigh. Stillness it’s a word I’ll never be able to explain but now I’m begging time to stop
to stand still on my feet.
Begin. End. More than before.
Come close. Stop!. Go! Move forward.
I forgot how i wanted to die, still I’m wondering how will I make it ‘til then.
Lines in broken parts, rings fragmented
arms are pointing different directions, different speeds spinning hands stop ticking ‘cause as they would move Time will come apert into dust.
Clouds’ stir movin’ fast as we’re walking
they won’t stop where our sight is helpless: we are blind. when we want to beat Time, close it in a box
trying to entrap the unreal.
I see there’s a world out there
that it’s working beside our rules, mere ghosts of lies ‘cause I can feel that my road out there
seems to reach out far from this time but ‘now’ it’s there.
And I move, dance, fall over and over change, face and look behind what’s here to be still in motion,
to feel what it means to be still in motion, to feel that I’m still in motion.
