about

lyrics

You are listening to me
Coming out of silence
Coming back to life
alone in a song

Forgive my absence
I was dreaming
Of a sound
Beyond sound
A sound
Beyond us

You are listening to me
Here at the centre
Hear where he was
She was
I was
No space
No time
No will of their own
As if they were waiting
Those pleasures meant a lot

Forgive my absence
Where she was
I was
Where he was
I was
Here at the centre
Nowhere
Inside outside
Outside inside
Shadowdrifting
Across the chasm of the day

You are listening to me
Coming out of silence
Coming back to life
Measuring nothing
as it rises
Into the air
Tearing open
A cocoon
Feeling complete

You are listening to me
Coming back to life
In silence
Beating a strange reprise
Providing an exact time frame
Nothing can follow


All the chants to atmosphere
All the way to nothing
Forgive my absence
The years flew past me

So little room
So little time
Punching the air
Falling away
Taking a moment
Last chance
Last word
He had his doubts
Haunted look
Darkness growing
heart marooned
The masks slip off
Head in the clouds
Tomorrow is exile
End of message

Alone in a song
he vanished like a star

about

Antonymes Wales, UK

Antonymes music emerges from the adjustments and erasures where music expresses nothing but itself, from the relationship between continuity and repetition rather than of contract and interplay, from secrecy, from quietness, from pause, from thought, from emptiness, from time, from far off, from itself, from where it is set and where it is setting off to. ... more
