lyrics
(Below lyrics written by Erika Angell)
I made the choice to lose myself within another
To sacrifice my own devotion
quietly hoping I could have it both ways
A solar eclipse
A hidden path
A gamble to which there is no regret
They say you just don't
and I believe them
But what if it's not that you don't
but because you won't, you won't, you won't.
(Below lyrics are put together by extracted phrases written by Sappho, translated by Anne Carson from "If Not, Winter".
I would not think to touch the sky with two arms.
I don't know what to do
Two states of mind within me
You came and I was crazy for you
And you cooled my mind that burned with longing
Evening, you gather back all that
Dazzling dawn has put asunder
You gather a lamb you gather a kid
You gather a child to it's mother
Of all stars the most beautiful one
Someone will remember us I say
Even in another time.
And on the eyes black sleep of night
Mingled with all kinds of colours
And I on a soft pillow will lay down my limbs
With sweet oil, costly, you anointed yourself
And on a soft bed, you would let loose your longing
And neither any, nor any holy place
Was there from which we were absent
No groove
No dance
No sound
Just because you won't, you won't, you won't.
I made the choice to lose myself within another
To sacrifice my own devotion
quietly hoping I could have it both ways
A solar eclipse
A hidden path
A gamble to which there is no regret
They say you just don't
and I believe them
But what if it's not that you don't
but because you won't, you won't, you won't.

I would not think to touch the sky with two arms.

I’m a big Radiohead fan and this album is kind of like a new Radiohead album. However, I feel that The Smile will prove to be an exciting project in its own right and I look forward to whatever new music they may release in the future.
