Lyrics for "Transient Messages"

Since I've heard a good deal about not knowing what myself or Niabi are saying on the CD ..here's the lyrics in order for all of the songs. Enjoy!

CONNECTIONS MISSED

Is it time to go?
Been here for too long
The sameness of being
like these repeated icons

We opened up the doors
only to turn around
and all that we could say
was that was nothing was gonna change

Is it safe to stay?
Can't see what's ahead
The likelihood of happening
1000 percent

We speed through the course
Only to turn around
And all that we could say
was that nothing was gonna change



CH:

Standing in a place where i'm lost
cannot connect
Staring at a face that shows no signs
of reaching out
Lying flat in a field, my arms
spread apart
There's nothing I can see, that resembles
any clarity






IN ANOTHER LIFE


Haloes apart
On his way
To ...who knows where
Lines blur into the background

Emotions transmit
in these circles
Cities go by
the shadows rise
over the mountains



Riding along the freeway
we'll do it now
The future is unclear
we go back to mine


CH:



Into this night
minds wasted
stars shine in the distance
A cool glimmer
chills the atmosphere

Feelings abound
in the recesses
forever locked away
reborn in another life





A MILLION COLORS



Would we survive
all of this pain?
Would we fly
directly into the sunset?
Wrapped up inside
without a trace
Along for this ride
tricking our fate



50 million years ahead
We can't look back now
it's all in our minds
to stay

CH:

The eyes that glaze over passing by
Like speeding headlights
Show your face, from the crowd
Like a dancing, diamond in the rough

And as we stood parallel, our forces were undone
Transforming us into seperate suns
Clouds spinning shades of blue
We burst into
A million colors


MIDWAY



Perception of time across the way
This open air freeing my mind
Shadows lifted above the rain
Coasting along this rough terrain

Matter and form chopped to bits
Pieces afloat in these drifts
Above the planet the sky sings
These hatching insects spreading their wings

CH:

Dreaming in grays, these colors washed out
Almost there the midpoint in sight
Sleepwalking to the final frontier
Infinite time is all we have.


PIECE OF MIND

Find your piece of mind inside





HEIGHTENED

Stretching to a point visibly thinned out
Glazing over this transparent galaxy

Freed up time that ticks faster and faster
Entering uncharted areas... we're falling forever and ever

CH:

Deciding if I didn't want to try this
Splitting these thoughts into three halves
Deciding if I didn't want to be missed
Shadows cross over into this pattern heightened with me

Sped up clocks slows down these questions
Tossing and turning for no rhyme or reason
Dropping temperatures freezing this landscape
Going with a feeling I never had before

Connect and be one


AT THE SIGN



We didn't seem fazed
at the sign of our landing
We stand on this platform
where we both could coalesce.

We didn't seem engaged
at the right moment
Fog descends over
the bridge that I've been walking on
to reach your middle ground



CH:

Riding the wings of a dove
I see dots and dashes
Forming faces in the sand that buries unrequited love
Carry me through this stage
There's trying times on the horizon
Will you be in focus in the years that slip away?









LIGHT TOWERS


Boats coming in
Docking away
They stay anchored
to unlock again
The mist settling
permeating
A cool breeze chilling
Streams pass in



Swirling waters
Rising skylines
Interlocking..to disintegrate
Sounds reverberating
Off the rocks
Projected flashes
illuminating waterways



CH:

Coasting along
Towers hovering over
These vast open seas
Waiting to be discovered

Uncharted avenues
Mysteries lie ahead
Islands suspended
Perception
to be fed





SMOOTHFLOW



Give it away
into the night
Take it away
reverse this flight


Here we stay
The stars are burning bright
Savor the day
The sun bursts out of sight

Take it away
Run from the past
It'll come back
Take it away

Slow down
This is going too fast
Do I realize
that it won't last

Please tell me
that I should see the end
Reset the game
I need to start again


CH:
Swirling around
the feelings will run through my veins
Swimming in this river
A smooth flow streaming inside




DISSOLVED IN TIDES (lyrics by Niabi Caldwell)



Soon it will be winter
Slow me down to evenings
Everything I'm needing
Midnight, on oceans

There's a song
on the surface
Worlds turning to dust
words resist erasure
All the pain linked together

Music and stuff

Hi all,
By now some of you have heard the latest album of mine. It's slowly getting out there and getting a great response. I want to thank everyone who has listened to it and given feedback. It helps immensely.

Now playing - The Brother Kite "Waiting For The Time To Be Right"..incredible album - reminds me of Slowdive meets "Pet Sounds" era Beach Boys.
