Bathyalpelagic I: Impasses

There is movement in these depths.
There's a place for everything.

Try to make sense out of what we've been through.
And I still justify the things I used to do.
I don't believe in nothing - but I believe in you.
Take my word and move on.

I've chosen to embrace all the things that I cannot change
But I'm not sure if this helps to relieve you from bitterness.

I wish I could recall every word, everything you said.
You're digging in the past: a deep hole that will wolf you down.
I've chosen to embrace all the things that I cannot change
But I'm not sure if this helps to relieve you from bitterness.

How much control do we have over what we wish for?
How much control do we have over what we wish for?

Bathyalpelagic II: The Wish In Dreams

And when the day arrives, I will be petrified.
Pressure is increasing with every meter that we sink.
But I won't let it get inside of me.
We're still too far away to be afraid.

I wanted to shape and change them
But it's they who've changed me.
I wanted to get on top of them
But they wouldn't let me.

They're as elusive as air:
As soon as we name them they are gone.
Their meaning disappears.
Melts like an icicle in the sun.

I wanted to shape and change them
But it's they who've changed me.
I wanted to get inside of them
But they wouldn't let me in.

How much control do we have over what we wish for?
How much control do we have over what we wish for?
How many decisions we take are rational?
How much is intentional?

Bathyalpelagic III: Disequillibrated

We sink through boundless vasts of blue.
When [bad word] home at last: you'll see for yourselves
How far down into the black these rays can reach. [bad word] [bad word] there is only what accords with your nature,
With your being - of which you know nothing.
But it's there, inside of you
Controlling you 'til the day you die.

How far down into the black can sunlight reach?
Low light, our eyes open wide:
There's something underneath.

So you braced yourself once again.
Dread has made [bad word] to your senses.
Well, you set everything in motion.
disequilibrated stable state:
This is where it all began.
Now face the reaction.

So you braced yourself once again.
Pain has made [bad word] to your senses.
Now your life is easy.
Stripped of all responsibility:
That's my reward for you.
