Al Lat 04:58 video
You know what we oughta be is #fluffy #sexy #deadly. Lost your head at all that speed, now never know where it leads. I won’t follow your slipstream. You want me for your wars? I’m not going to come. You want me for your cause? Well, I think it is lost. You say we feel the same but it’s not in my heart. That theme is going through your mind, as you want it to be, want it to happen “NOW”. It’s falling from your eyes while I just pour a cup of life into life. Never enough. I chose to be with the stars that are falling from your eyes.

Are you he/she/it + do you shave your armpit? Are you adjusted/-ing? And will the things we think and do not say still leave their biscuit trails? See them running round the core – “watch out, watch out!”, oh, how they slither! Must be the ‘common cold’... Make way for the big guns! Push the troubles of our kind aside. Sign here to ease your conscience, have the litter delivered out of your sight. And when my music makes you (so) sad, let me console you: “It’s alright, Ma (I’m only bleeding)”, just tales from the heart. They cannot harm you if they cannot please you. I was once a shellfish. {Now I’m bored and selfish} I am planetarian, some civilised barbarian. Remain in silence! Not far from me the one who dances up and down the pole. Caesarean. Aware I am not of a golden age. As long as I change I live. Was there life before the storm?
3.
Here’s the trance, now dance, my incompatible friends! Killed all men with my solar flare. I took my chances as no one else dared (devil in the detail). We’re still the bearers of things to come. Come! (devil in the detail) Still the masters of those we haven’t done-done (devil in the detail). We may be phantoms of another one’s life (devil in the detail). We love and loath, we roam the earth. (Come, come!) Here’s the trance, where’s my coherent position? Where is my place in the syntagmatic chain? Where is my I-Land in a sea withdrawn? We’re still the bearers of things to come. Still the masters of those we haven’t done. We may be sparks of another one’s life. We love and loath, we roam the earth (devil in the detail [come come come {come!} come come come] devil in the detail)
4.
Aren‘t we unlimited? Still we‘re bound by ourselves. Weren‘t we undivided? And now? Now we feed the moon. Aren‘t we the chosen ones? But how will we alleviate the pain? Aren‘t we ourselves the guardians at the gates where no one passes?

Jewels Soon 08:58
Mmmmake some noise but make some nice things too. Wave your arms through contaminated air. Speak your mind but find some nice words too. Wave your hands if you would I was with you. Our wounds will be jewels soon and we‘ll live within an amber room. Go, take a trip with ‘Determinated Tours’. Wave your flag as if this land belonged to you. Our wounds will be jewels soon and we‘ll live within an amber room.
6.
I have lights of my own, I have lights of my own, I’ll fight on my own. I have a voice of my own, I have a voice of my own, I will sing my own song. I have my own two feet, I have my own two feet, I will go as slow as I will. I have a voice of my own, I have a voice of my own, will sing my own song. And I will sing it all along. And you have a life of your own, you have a life of your own, keep your advice to yourself! As I have a key of my own, a key of my own, I will save my own soul. Finally! It is what it is.
7.
Twigs touching towers and towers. Circle square now and edges blurred. Leaves lingering endlessly. Sprigs splitting skyscrapers. Stuck in motion. No remedy for remembrance. Circle square though and edges blurred leave you stuck in motion.
8.
Cry for vengeance – I‘ll be doing it. Just feed me your hate, I‘ll see to it. Guess my name. Whatever I did: “undo it!” In time my pretty face will fade, and time will show what it has held. Let me borrow your body! I wanna see what I’ll find! One of those pretty little horses will be taking a ride. I told you. One day what you long for cannot be un-longed. That’s how I play, that’s how I climb ever higher. Built a ladder of your bones, I forged my name into your home. I’m newly born every minute while you die every time. All those pretty little corpses in my field of mines! Whatever I did undo it... Cry for vengeance – I’ll be doing it. Retribution – I’ll see to it. Cry for vengeance – I’ll be doing it. Feed me your hate, I’ll see to it. // I wonder what it was that made you so scared of what will be. Wonder what it is that killed all in you, and where are you going with that gun in your hand? I wonder what it is that all that there is, is so strangely entangled. Wonder what it is that made you cry out for carnage.

Elaryn 06:03
Define the definable. Turn on the device. Connect your antenna. Sandstorms and figures. The battles are lost right there in your hands. In mirrors we don‘t speak, empires declining on midnight‘s plateau. (No batteries included.) Pull the lever (at your own risk). Push the button (and take things slowly). For your safety (heed all warnings). Do not cut off (circulation). Now slide the black switch (up or down). Just be careful when you take off.
11.
Run. Disconnect. All is tumbling down. This is the system in decline. Leave. Restart. Create and share. Touch. Build. Love. Be well!
