about

A two part song with a spoken word section and a song section. The guitar solo was made to make a massive overwhelming all-frequency-sound.

lyrics

De draadfiguur stut lange stokken met haar stakerige armen
al haar energie gaat in het dragen van het doek
neer valt de stof
de schaduw in de diepe plooien doet een diepgang en verfijning vermoeden
waarvan alleen zij weet
dat ze er niet zijn

Oh, ze is zo alleen
en mag het niet zeggen
ze is zo hongerig dat ze nooit, nooit verzadigd zal zijn

~o~

Onkenbaren
jij en ik
raken elkaar aan
maar ook weer niet

scheppen wij
andere
onkenbaren

Wuiven wij achter plastic vensters
een iel handje
ten afscheid

Translation of the lyrics:
The wire figure sustains long sticks with her meagre arms
All of her energy goes into carying the fabric
The cloth is draped
The shadow in the deep folds
Suggests depth and refinement
Of which only she knows
That they are not there
Oh she's so alone
And can not say it
She is so hungry
That she never, ever will be satisfied

Unknowable
You and I
We touch each other
But then again we don't

We wave behind plastich windows
A meak little hand
to say goodbye
