Lyrics 'We Could Wake Each Other Up'

1. The Queen of Silence
The first thing she told me was that she'd come here to die
So I showed her the way to a death with a view
She made me see a big part of the lie, but more importantly
She cast her light on the part that is true.
Beautifully pure
She never spoke outside the song
The queen of silence
Sang clear enough to sing along
She held my hand in ecstasy
And then she killed with love my need to talk
She made me kneel down quietly
I kept my way but I changed my walk
Beautifully pure...
She talked to me and made me feel at home
And then she asked me: 'What's your biggest fear?'
Now silence doesn't make me feel alone
But I'd be scared as hell being alone here
Beautifully pure...
2. If you don't mind (I'm going home)
We hear you've got worries on your mind
Well everybody does so we can all go crying
Now you can keep on sighing till you rest in peace
But whether you like it or not you're now stuck here in time
I'm going home son, I'm going home
We see you've got darkness in your head
And your only solution might appear to be dead
Well you'll get there one day and then we'll leave you in peace
But don't go crooked, go peaceful instead
So leave your thoughts for what they are
The future would lead you way to far
And please breathe if you don't mind
We have an offer for you if you care for a change
No knowledge acquired it's all been arranged
Just forget who you were and be sure you don't know
All the lenghts to go through lie within range
So rise on up and face the facts
Cause your self-pity is a lack of respect
And please breathe if you don't mind
3. Momentary Clarity
Well everybody tends to forget
Just how strange existence is
Taking it for granted till we're dead
Waiting an eternity for bliss
But then there's momentary Clarity a view behind the scene
Merrily row to the source of the stream
Now everytime we tend to forget
Just how beautiful existence is
Postponing forever till we're dead
Waiting an eternity for bliss
But then there's momentary clarity a view behind the scenes
Merrily row to the source of the stream
Momentary clarity hits you on the spot
4.
So we, in order to be free
Climbed over and out
And now we weep
We weep salty water
We weaken those walls
Until we see our father
The apple was shiny alright
But did we really realize
That it wasn't alright?
And now we pray
We pray a lifetime
With words that say
Father forgive us the passion crime
You will be so wise said the snake
Hissing in sweet-talk
Till we made a mistake
And now we work
But we gain nothing
A whole life digging our grave
Till we sleep in our coffin
Eve was so naked before
We dressed her, invented porn
And made her a whore
And now we burn
In our self-lit fire
We crave and we yearn
Ever burning desire
So we, in order to be free
Climbed over and out
5. Au fond de l’impasse
Au fond de l’impasse
Entrappé en toi même
Commence la chasse
L’ attrappement de la bête que tu aime
In the deep of the dead-end
Trapped in your own frame
Starts the hunt
Stalking the beast you can’t tame
Le combat commence the battle begins
Et les deux dieuw ils dansent and two Gods they dance
L’horrible et l’ eblouissant melange a luminous and horrible interchange
Indistinctible l’agresseur et la defense indistinguishable offence and defence
Inseparable qui parle et qui pense inseperable who talks and who thinks
Les insultes criés dans une lange etrange the insults cried out in a language so strange
At the end of the dead-end
Trapped in your own frame
Starts the hunt
Stalking the beast you can’t tame
A la fin de l’impasse
Toi t’ es seul sur la scene
Tu trouve le carcasse
Du monstre que t’as tué sans haine
6. Cardiac Pounds
Before the uptight incrowd
Free thought wiped out
Ideas inbred, ideals sold out
If it’s not a familiar sound then
Sing it loud
Before the business beehive
Worked up, stressed out
Working shifts till fired or burned out
Money makes a deafening noise so
Sing it load
Make ‘em sound, your cardiac pounds
A heart’s too strong a muscle to fight without
And beat ‘em load, your cardiac pounds
A heart’s too strong a muscle to live without
Before the jaded junkie
Senses passed out
Trapped by a fix, caught in his playground
His eardrum’s numb so please
Sing it load
Before the coward cynics
Breathing black clouds
Choking feelings and joking their way out
A soft voice is hard to hear so
Sing it loud
And make ‘em sound with your cardiac pounds
Your heart’s too strong a muscle to fight without
And beat ‘em loud with your cardiac pounds
Your heart’s too strong a muscle to live without
7. Right to remain silent
I asked them sincerely "Is there a needle in the haystack?"
They gave me a chair to stand on to see through the crack
While I peeked they pushed me, a rope around my neck
They returned my question and I took it back
And now I use my right to remain silent
I studied their language, to speak in their tongue
But all I uttered came out all wrong
Then I tried poetry, communicate in song
They misunderstood my message though it was strong
And now I use my right to remain silent
I tried to share my feeling of Awe and Dread
Cause it's too big for me, too small is my head
But only the lonely understood what I said
And they hurt me by saying "We already knew that"
And now I use my right to remain silent
8. Everything seems so real
Everything seems so real
The way that it moves, the way it feels
Everything seems so real
Accepting its fullness ad signing the deal
I was granted permission
To get 3D-vision
And spin in the great cosmic wheel
9. How did you fall?
How did you fall? Tell me how did you fall?
I fell because the road raised its angle
And I fell because the stakes were doubled in the gamble
And I fell because the moon lost its meaning
And I fell cause I forgot that I was dreaming
Why did you fall? Tell me why did you fall?
Cause I confess that to lie is more convenient
And I guess that I remembered the agreement
That my map was already outlined
My road described no need to follow my own signs
You were flying so high
But now you're down and lost
I just needed to know how and why
When did you fall? Tell me when did you fall?
I fell when I traded what I gained for ownership
I fell when I claimed that those words came from my lips
I fell when I tried to tell them that I owned the ship
I started drooling on the deck, and it made me slip
Where did you fall? Tell me where did you fall?
I fell on an island of stone and dry ground
Fell in a place that had walls all around
I couldn't really see what was happening
But I hope that I hurt no one by my crashing in
You were flying on your way there
But then you changed your route
I just needed to know when and where
And will you fly again? Tell me will you fly again?
I don't know but I'll try to be prepared
Though my fall has bruised me and it made me scared
But I'm glad to know I get another chance
That they saved some room for me in their sacred dance
And I'll try not to fall, no I'll try not to fall...
10. Brotherly Love
You are my conscience
Making sure I don’t go easy on myself
And your walk so steady
Making my wandering seem like hell
And you made life so heavy
All my certainties they got so confused
Ah your walk so lonesome
All company equally refused
And I love you my brother, my love knows no end
You saved me from profanity all the time we have spent
I love you my brother for your saving hand
I know words may mislead me but I’ll call you a friend
There was a love in our questions
There were tryptamines in our heads
And our quest started together
But I just couldn’t live up to the regime of a daily death
And I love you my brother, my love knows no end
You came into my life like you were heaven sent
And so was the wisdom in the books and in plants
They called it abuse but we knew it was sacrament
You staged the greatest cliché
Mixing slapstick with tragedy
Leaving me with nothing
Erasing my history
And I was, I was such a bad loser
While you were, you were a star
So I grabbed my flag and armor
I mounted my horse and started a war
And I hurt you my brother and for that I repent
You loved me so badly, all of it truly meant
You hurt me my brother but there is nothing I resent
For your love’s unconditional, I now understand
11. Pharmlife
Random buzzing, mooing, crowing, cackling, overtone singing, gobbling, whistling, etc.
12. Any Connection
She bathed you in the water
But you climbed ashore
And now you’re so godforsaken thirsty
Feeling even more dry than before
You sit there like a statue
In the mold you once cast
Stuck in a fixed static posture
Facing horizons of the past
When you look at it closely
Can you see your reflection?
Is there anything in common
Is there any connection?
See your building with your inner blocks
A prison founded on your fears
Imprisoned in you grey brick box
Locking up what you hold dear
Where’s your ideals of freedom?
Where’s your love for the show?
Love don’t rhyme with possession that’s obsession
A poet like yourself should know
Chorus
To be completely surprised by reality
And to observe that it is not at all what you thought it was
Or what you were brought up to believe
And not to be afraid when you suddenly discover the obvious
Which is that the real you is not the ego
But the eternal centre of the universe
God’s your soul
And it’s my soul too
Love is a mirror
So what makes you blue / Come on push on through
(to infinity, iedereen in koor)
13. We could wake each other up
I always have to learn the same things
Because my mind ain’t still it swings
And I always have to find the same clues
Cause my view's not fixed, it moves
And why is it so hard
To look in your eye
To see your heart
I always have to sing the same song
Till I lost the blues, until I am numb
But my bells won't keep ringing till it's done
That is why I need to finish this song
But why is it so hard
To look in your eye
To see your heart
If I promise that it would be worthwhile
Could we stare at each other for a little while
Cause we could wake each other up
