Sunlight

Seasons spark different reactions
In the springtime you loved my eyes
Cause they were gazing at the possibilities
In this rise we were all so blind
Will we ever merge with our fantasies?
With this sunlight on my shoulder
I don't need to be sure
With this sunlight on my shoulder
I don't need to be sure
I don't need to be on my way
Midsummer on its way, but our dreams are still unfulfilled
Will this Tuesday never end
Oh it's all so cyclical, but the number of bottles keeps growing
and the lush grass will soon turn grey
will we ever merge with our fantasies?
With this sunlight on my shoulder
I don't need to be sure
I don't need to be sure
I don't need to be on my way

They told me bad things about you
that I couldn't believe
I see you every day
you look fine to me
Just a touch of skewness
that has always been your charm
corresponding to the cold winds
in our psyches
The guns are flying over our heads
the bets aren't settled yet
meanwhile, they divest everything
even my mind is up for sale
Now we staying in when we wanna have fun
drinking mass-produced wine from the government
No use for the streets, they're just hurting you on sight
Our own nation is enough
look how beautiful you are

The Leakage of Your Soul
03:58
|
|||
|
Dreaming of eight years ago
It's not even about the jobs anymore
They are losing purpose quicker
Than the leakage of your soul
We're looking for love in each other's eyes
If it's the only thing we've got, we're saved
The feet wonder where to run
Maybe to a place set out for you in the shadow
Where no one knows your face
In the midst of the basement scene
You relaunch your career, again
What else can you do
My identity is always set in stone
You don't need your nation to carry you home
Just give me a cushion sometimes
But I don't have to see your face
To know you've been hurt before
We've all been hit by sorrows, you know
The mind looks for the next thing
But we haven't been hopeful for a long time
Just trying to fix what's broken
Running up that pyramid seems pointless now
Running up that pyramid seems futile now
Still I got my love for sweet music
I don't need my nation to carry me home
Just pat me on the back sometimes, will you
I don't need to hear your voice
To know you've been fucked up before
By the people you hate the most
By the people you love the most

A Traveler In Your Dream
02:19
|
|||
|
I have to admit, I was the tower in your dream
stop being so cryptic, why don't speak from the heart instead
but my heart was poisoned by mental pollution
sipping out from those expressionless heads
you see on the streets
Can't you see, I was the cloud in your misanthropy
a traveler in your dream, lurking too much
for you to get your rest, now your soul is in distress
we need to interrupt those eerie signals
to find that piece of mind
drifting away from our childhood

Heal my wounds now
but no, you're depressed
so I need to heal yours
once again
there's always like crazy long time
between us
10 hours on the run are just too much
Working away your life
in that university town
that commute is just a drag
I miss you every day
sometimes I feel you're on a different continent
you're so busy, so I can't call you
And the shadows lurk in our minds
that's why we need to take that trip
in the springtime each year
Up on Klunkerkranich, we're easier to deal with, don't you think
By the seaside view, we're just kissing
until the mornings come softer
Working away your life
in that university town
that commute is just a drag
I miss you every day
sometimes I feel you're on a different continent
you're so busy, so I can't call you
The lighthouse is still on, let's swim there
When we're lost, just look for the sun
Always looking for the sun

I Have No Home
03:21
|

|
These streets are nagging me
Telling the same stories
of rumbling through the night
I'm subdued from everyone's low intensity
I'm a fire burning of emotions
Stuck inside a reasonably male body
I'm rootless by choice
I have no home
Even if I'm not alone, there is no magnetism
Attaching me to a specific pole
I'm always traveling, away
From former versions of myself
really believing I am different now
I'm just trading habits for a while
Fooling myself once a while
This modern man I've become
Is a curse, but what could we do
Without technology now
We would be silent corpses
Without those permanent wires
Connecting us

Infant Gravitation
03:19
|

|
In an oversized beach shirt
standing on the driveway
with my beginner's guitar
planting the seed that grew my identity
so tempting to live in that memory
In the red Saab, from London to Scotland
with my parents trying to save their marriage
but not even the beauty of St Andrews
could keep them together much longer
they divorced a year later
Always on replay
a surprise party on my 20th birthday
arranged by my mum and her new guy
I didn't grow up that day but when I do
It will be on a greener steppe
and not on this windy hill

Hourglass
03:03
|
|||
|
meet me at the lower side
of the hourglass
it's not a long way down
to the entry of your dying empathy
I've got the luxury to contemplate
to think about the erratic ways life can take
But philosophy keeps triggering
all my worry holes
I spent less than an hour evaluating the crisis
I carry all my friends until kingdom come
I carry all of your troubles til the morning comes
keep them close until you're wealthy enough
that's how you survive
that secret voice inside
will not reveal itself this time
I'm not sure when it all went wrong
what made you this blind
you only loosed the screws
holding together this universe
now I spend days thinking about other people's problems
I carry all my friends until kingdom come
I carry all of your troubles til the morning comes

This Damn Reminder
04:30
|
|||
|
And I was young and unafraid
but insecure as hell
unpolitical and vain
you tried to find a safe place
for you and me
nowhere to be found
just the same shit all around
They're closing the gates to our town
keep burning bridges right next to me
It was fair of you to remind us
that we are not just numbers
that life is something more than just
counting in the troops
it was fair of you to show us
that we are not just gatekeepers
that our only purpose is to
to strengthen our Swedish values
I don't need to disclose my cause
just come back to me

Libertate Unanimus
05:50

See us drowned people
being revived one by one
I was happy once,
think I could feel that sting again
See that smile return again to our faces
Feel my heart return again to my chest
They released us all in the springtime
while still being monitored from the towers
The illusion of hope is good enough for now
good enough for us anyway
See that smile return again to our faces
Feel my heart return again to my chest
Now that our blood is being defrosted
we can almost move freely without painful sensations

If The Very Most could share their secret to a catchy melody... Come on, how do you do that, honestly? I'm surprised, with each song, by the way it flows so effortlessly, it seems. Many thanks for these brief, but consistent, moments of joy. Bonus: vinyl pressing is a delight.
