Fish: The great unravelling
Mooi,... maar treurig
Fish, The other side of me:
When the zephyrs pulse the sails I feel the tiller in my fingers
Feluccas dancing, flirting on the swollen Nile
Slowly touch the distance, the meniscus of horizons
A shimmering mirage across the desert sands
I follow silken threads in coral caves in soft suspension
Blades of torches scything through the stagnant gloom
Life's breath escapes like mercury, swarming to the ceiling
Silver serpents tunnel shadows to another room
I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn't you
I couldn't recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done
I took a vow that we would never walk alone
But here I am, eye to eye, face to face
With the other side of me
Where the doorways tempt my intrigue with another key of sunlight
I am not afraid
I nurse a steady heartbeat, the currency of breathing
Pays my way toward new openings, in a life I used to know before
First person singular, me, myself, I
First person singular, no tears left to cry
I'm smiling deep inside, first person singular
I wander through the archways of green and lush cathedrals
Barefoot on soft needles on the forest floor
Awake inside a daydream, sombre meditation
I only hear the whisper of the falling leaves
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done
I took a vow that we would never walk alone
So here I am, eye to eye, face to face
With the other side of me
I lay on table mountain, gazing down on endless ocean
And I knew deep in my soul that I was not alone
I was not alone
Heightened by the freedom of this new realisation
The sun rose to the heavens through this crack of dawn
This crack of dawn
I sensed someone there, I turned around, it wasn't you
I couldn't recognise at first just who it was, it had been a while
It seems crazy after all that has been said and done
I took a vow that we would never walk alone
So here I am, eye to eye, face to face
With the other side of me
The other side of me
The other side of me
On the other side of you
Fish, The great unraveling:
He met her, she had me
Spiralling ribbons, cut the cord away
The twists of life, the knots of dreams
This was before the great unraveling
In time, no strings attached, so wild and free
No ties to bind, a world before us
We threaded hopes within the tapestries we wove
So far away, the great unraveling
The great unraveling
She tied my laces, sewed the buttons, spun the rhymes
The great unraveling
He taught the ropes, he spared the rod, he drew the lines
The great unraveling
She slowed the blood, my beating heart, the streaming tears
The great unraveling
The strands of time, the rules and chains that bind us
That holds us down till we forget just how to fly
Bound by fears, of change from old traditions
Began to sense the great unraveling
The great unraveling
She tied my laces, sewed the buttons, spun the rhymes
The great unraveling
He taught the ropes, he spared the rod, he drew the lines
The great unraveling
She slowed the blood, my beating heart, the streaming tears
The great unraveling
The lives that we played before
Stretch into our past define us
Instinctively hearts entwine
Love brings us closer to carry us forward
The seeds that we sow today
The loose ends we tie and nurture
The threads that we spin and weave
To uncertain futures, we usher them into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light
Imprint the knowledge, pass the message on
I know I have to let you go
One day I have to say goodbye
I know that I will have to leave and give up to the light
Into the light
