about

Another day in the city, our protagonist enters the London subway. A beautiful woman attracts him, before he realises she is actually carrying a bomb.

lyrics

i. The Modern World

I move in this town
I circle around
half of my life underground
escaped from a dream
a crude morning’s heat
the pulse of the town sets my beat

a girl from a picture
from a dream
with a glance that’s inbetween
an alien mixture and a smile
joins the train and I...

... solidify
the deaf and the blind
an aura so cool I could die

but there from a distance
a tremble in my hands
siren awakes catches my eye

in ten city
the modern world
the modern times
the modern days
in ten city
a modern word
for mortal signs
the modern way of life
in ten city
look me in the eye

she’s looking at
her massive black bag
tossing it to me leaving it

a hunch from the big sleep
far too real
from the suffering between
the massive bag and the dead
either way no turning back

in ten city
the modern world
in ten city

I’m waiting for
a few words or more
then she is out of the door

I grab her package
the glass pane between us
she forms a BOOM!
with her hands
turns around
runs away

in ten city
the modern world
the modern times
the modern days
in ten city
a modern word
for mortal signs
the modern way to die
in ten city
the modern world
the modern times
the modern days
how I wish it were a scene
from someone else’s dream
in ten city

suddenly the world turns
into a waking hell

ii. Locked In The Tube

locked in the tube

knew how to move in this city
knew how to circle in line

and all the subway underground
me and tons of people spread around

[ escaping into a dream: nights in andalusia ]
[ re-awaking: the urban rules / locked in the tube ]

in ten city
