LYRICS
MU (album)
Mono No Aware
Hold me my friend in this moment / who knows if again we will meet
So much between us has been shared / rarely has time been so sweetly held
On aqua and lunar I splutter / as night falls and with it, the rain
Dousing our heads in its glitter/ yet we continue our embrace
And though your body’s warm / it chills me to think
The road that we are on is about to split
The last of the fading sunlight / passes abruptly and then
We are suspended in darkness / why are things so lovely just before they end?
Our bodies turn to stars / mmm / a cosmic reminder of transit
It’s never gonna be exactly like that again
It’s never gonna be exactly just like that again
(repeat)
Otherworld
Would you believe me / if I told you I could take you / anywhere that you wanna go / anytime?
There’s not too much to it / step on back and let me show ya how we do it / ooh
Fall back and let the wind catch you / float your body through
The ocean of vapours and gases surrounding you / sounds good, no? / let’s go!
Chorus
Out of the city / and into the ether
We will find each other / over and over
Apart or together / awake or in slumber
I’ll meet you my lover / deep in the other / deep in the other
Oooh
Deep, 20,000 leagues deep / go deep, between our dreams, deep
Knee deep, green deep, sleep deep, 3D, we need deep
Slipping through the cracks now my love / never to come back now my love
Taste and see
Chorus
Let’s go to the otherworld / hold my hand / come with me
There’s nothing here for you to fear / hold my hand / come with me / ohh
Oooh
Out of the city / and into the ether
We’ll find each other / over and over and over and over and oh
You know I want ya / you know I need ya
Out of the city / and into the ether
We’ll find each other / over and over and over / over and over and oh
You know I want ya / you know I need ya
Out of the city / and into the ether
Into the ether (repeat)
Nitrogen
I feel much better when / the stars are out again
The moon is my companion / the planets are my friends
I love to drown / in their beauty beaming down
While their teeny tiny glimmers / send shivers down my spine
When you’re in the country you really see the stars
The Essence
If you could see into my heart / you would see that I love hard / many folks from many paths
And the feeling keeps me charged / keeps me bright when it gets dark
Keeps me loving, loving hard
When I’m up above the clouds / and the sky is all around / I exist without a sound
And the silence is profound / but I feel the need to shout / to be loving, loving loud
Just look at my heart
Chorus
Blooming like a flower / after a shower of sweet bountiful rain
Bounding like a beast / traversing freely, physical space
Shooting like a star / along the path to planets above
I will never stop calling love the essence
Endlessly we wonder why / we exist here at the same time / and if there’s any point to life
And it really makes me smile / when again, again I realise
Nothing feels more right (x3) / than to be loving wild
Just look at your heart
Chorus
I will never stop calling love / the essence / the essence
I will never stop calling love / the essence / the essence
Yeah / yeah
The essence
Stars
When you’re in the country / you really see the stars
Shining / glittering / twinkling like shattered glass
Smattered vast across the sky / matter past the point of fire
From way down here / it could simply be glitter paint
Smeared all over a canvas / but you know it ain’t
You’re so much smaller than them / those colossal fiery gems
Ahhh
The night owl sings / and everything’s much
Better when / the stars are out again
The moon is my companion / the planets are my friends
I love to drown / in their beauty beaming down
While their teeny tiny glimmers / send shivers down my spine
Ahhh
When you’re in the country / you really see the stars
So bright, you reach your hand / and swipe the surface of Mars
Pluck it from the air / flick it over there
Kick it through the stratosphere
Expand Your Potential
Expand your potential / extend your arms / and look at your heart
Sunday Best
I wish I had something / to believe in
Like those holy folk / who get the inside joke
Who get dressed / in their Sunday Best
Tears burning down like rain / father could not be saved
His soul went somewhere higher / body to ash and fire
Laid to rest / in his Sunday Best
Picture of innocence / I climbed the schoolyard fence
To meet a boy I knew / he kissed my body blue
I confessed / in my Sunday Best
The Torch
Open your eyes / and follow the light / from clam to clover
Opium skies / rising over
Under her guide / you’ll never walk alone
A kiss from the torch / is brighter than all the lips of Venus
Unstiffen your jaw / and receive the blistering warmth
She vomits on the earth
