    I can't stop listening to this. Hear it on repeat for days. Gives me a lust for life and at the same time a pinch of melancholy. 🧡

    This song should be played all around the world in loud speakers. I think it captures what it means to be human, something that many of us have long forgotten..

    Despite clearly being 80s new wave/alternative in style, this doesn’t feel like it is mimicking it. It feels authentic. And it is incredible.

      @martiandesertboy Рік тому +3

      Experimental music isnt mimicking its having inspirations flow through music. I like new wave for its lack of criticism, nothing more triggering to me then a space with critics

      @@martiandesertboy Not trying to guess your age but as an 80s kid, I heard tons of criticism of new wave growing up 🤷‍♂️ That genre was definitely not exempt from it. The 90s rolled around and the general populous even seemed to mock it/outright dislike it for a time.

    [Verse 1]
    When two-fold silence was the song of love
    When life lived in dreams and time fell like rain
    When all the summer flowers were for you and me
    When life tasted sweet and fate was a friend
    When all my secrets were yours to keep
    Stuck inside your beauty, falling in too deep
    When gentle magic took me by surprise
    When we felt everything standing side by side
    Swollen river, swollen eyes
    Swollen thighs, swollen pride
    Spring tide pulls you up
    From the outside inside
    Give me everything and nothing all at once
    Let your emptiness overflow
    Into love's scarce field, ready to sow
    [Chorus]
    This world couldn't see us
    This world couldn't keep us
    This world couldn't see us
    This world couldn't keep us
    [Verse 2]
    "If death is freedom, then kill me now"
    She said, as she took his hand
    Standing side by side before the gates of horn and ivory
    Before unforgiving destiny
    Before fate that grants no mercy
    You can have it all in return for everything
    You can have it all in return for everything
    You can have it all in return for everything

    This world couldn't see us

    These beautiful lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia, love, and profound connection. They depict a time of enchantment and wonder when life felt like a dream, filled with emotions and shared secrets. The words paint vivid imagery of swollen rivers and eyes, symbolizing the intensity of emotions experienced. The verses explore themes of freedom, fate, and the willingness to give everything in return for love.
    The chorus, repeated thrice, emphasizes the unique bond shared between the two, one that the world couldn't understand or contain. It speaks of a love that transcends worldly constraints, a love that remains untouchable and beyond the grasp of external forces.
    The final verse delves into themes of life and death, illustrating a profound and perhaps transcendent connection between the two souls. It suggests a willingness to face even death if it means staying together, holding hands as they stand before the gates of destiny, ready to face whatever comes their way.
    Overall, the lyrics paint a captivating picture of a powerful and transformative love that defies the limits of this world, leaving a lasting impression on the reader or listener. The emotions conveyed in these verses leave a lingering sense of longing and a desire to experience such profound connection and love.

    This song really does have a magical quality to it. Nostalgic yet uplifting, Sentimental yet spontaneous. It's a breath of fresh air putting a smile on your face in the moment yet has the aura of taking you back to a simpler time. It just feels like an incredibly layered song and I'm glad to see others having a similar interpretation and reaction to it. Cheers friends
