lyrics

Dragonfly

Jump in its only fire,
the pilot's set to broil my nimble cook
Its useless - flying kites
it only works if the wind is right
and I've got a question for my dragonfly;
how to navigate through a perilous tide
without a safe or sound device
save only I?
save only I?

So sayeth the law of shadow
no night is so long to stop day from following
so long as I reach the air and finally feel my colors change

Jump in -
wisdom's with the pearls
the little shiny eyes the oysters took
deception
dragonly
the under-aged plan to drink the night
its not so wonderful feeling light's something just in the way
call up the thirty winds till your Persian rug flies
without a sage for sound advice…
who's there,
save only I?
save only I?

So sayeth the law of shadow
no night is so long to stop day from following
so long as I reach the air and finally feel my colors change

I'm willing my dragonfly
no need to slice the dark its just as good, I've found
so jump in while the flame is bright
yes if you jump when the wind is right -
think of this not as fire but lights of coming dawn -
coming dawn…
coming dawn….
fall up into the wind if she offers a ride
with no one else to turn the tide
save only I
save only I

So sayeth the law of shadow
no night is so long to stop day from following
so long as I reach the air and finally feel my colors change

One of my favorite Symbion Project albums since it came out. Full of warm, lush vintage analog synth sounds, Contrapasso is like the warm embrace of a lover. Tuukka Junnikkala

Something For Us

Semiotic

Perfect videogame music, love the mixture of synths, beats and chiptune. Semiotic is great from start to finish, but Signifier and Concept are standout faves of mine Chris Schmoeckel
