Liner Notes

Lyrics

When the hidden becomes seen
Spilling secrets like ink
Erasing old lines of thoughts built on silence
We break structures that separate
Force opinions to regenerate

Do inside and outside exist
Are we in flux if boundaries shift
Can we ask what real question is
The question
Is a revelation a mental revolution

Held beliefs tremble
The unshakable crumbles
Releasing containment
The facts reassemble
We unlearn, see anew
Let a better truth takes root

Do inside and outside exist
Are we in flux if boundaries shift
Can we ask what real question is
The question
Is a revelation a mental revolution

I love the way the lyrics feel in my mouth - the way the vowels and consonants reflect each other and string along into syllables. Wondering if you hear it as punk or metal or something pretty. Sounds tumbling flowy to me.

Your first stanza is really strong with wonderful insight and perspective. Wonderful use of poetic language throughout and great philosophical feel to the end.

…very nice! - reading it out loud if have the impression this is rather a poem - hope you find time to come back to this again and write some music for it - well done…
