In which our shadows
Are hidden by a grey cocoon
Of never-quite-intertwinings
Two silhouettes of the night
Two birds in a solid body
You know, this is surely
Not what we were flying towards
Fly away, sail away, go away
Where the edge is, where paradise is, up ahead
Don’t look, don’t hope, don’t wait
Go away, go away, go away
The shards of our vase
Lie scattered as a fractal
We go straight to decibels
Loud, yes, but what’s the use
And again we wait for a glimmer
Though it’s long been clear
Cold wind and rain
And no way back A nod to “Batareyka” (“Battery”) by Zhuki: the song is built on the same four descending chords, and Zhuki’s verse opens «Холодный ветер с дождём / Усилился стократно», “Cold wind and rain / Have grown a hundredfold.”
Fly away, sail away, go away
Where the edge is, where paradise is, up ahead
Don’t look, don’t hope, don’t wait
Go away, go away, go away
Fly away, sail away, go away
Where the edge is, where paradise is, up ahead
Don’t look, don’t hope, don’t wait
Go away
Go away
Go away
