Dotoar

...or an excuse for showcasing selected lyrics from my own musical works. I actually have got a lot of songs in my backpack and lyrics are always an integral part of what I do, although my main philosophy is that the music always should be able to stand on its own. Anyhoo, I'd like to put forth a few of my words here and see what you think.

Let's start with a song I wrote some years ago. (It has nothing to do with water, by the way).

TURN OF THE LAKE

I: Dawn And A Journey

Down with the thundery storm of the ancient flight from the present
and dropped through the crown of the trees
Drift all among rivulets in the quest for a lake to be merged
and brought into shape of the norm

Here, submerged in the deep
Clear to hear, an occasional weep
Waiting to see the chrystallized sunlight beam down
Turn of the lake has begun

Fight for a rise in the shadow the pines are effectively casting
to make sure there's no need for a change
Steam from a noon glowing clearly and shaping the clouds of the skyline
trading water to fish and a bread
Watch them raindrops high, vaporize into the sky
Now is a time to be learning the lakes and the seas and the oceans
can be turned to a river as well

"Stay and remain" says the lake
"They bring the fish and they know how to bake"
"Merge into one another to fight the sunlight beaming down"
"Turn of the lake has begun"
"You will remain water and therefore caught on the run"

By the riverside, catch the season tide
Rush down valleys of dreams
See you there, let the rain keep level
with mortal needs by the fields

Clearly, down in the well, holding everything that we need
No use heaping up with tears
Scorn by the stories of fret pouring in, pouring out dirty water
Evoking essential fears

By the riverside, exchanging by the tide
through the valleys of dreams
See you there, yes I know you well
Noone is bound to the fields
Noone is bound to the fields


Glaciers of ages gone, but not forgotten, risen high
Where mother earth and father sky reach, risen high
A site of eternal envy and fear
Not even the thunder comes near
By vapour, rain and snow, I'll see you there

II: In The Valley

Just by the motion the dust and the gravel reform on the bank
leaving tide of the moon to surrender
One is the particle leaving a trace of a cup running over
caring not for the range of the banks
Once a raindrop high, falling off a dense grey sky
Now is a time to be learning the lakes and the seas and the oceans
can be turned to a river as well

Among a multitude of skyline refugees
A certain handful won't make difference in the leads
Try or spend the life a reflected lie of the sun
Turn of the lake has begun
You will remain water, even if well on the run

Clearly, down in the lake, holding everything that we need
A hearth of eternal exchange
Full circle balancing out common urge to request for escaping
preserves what is left of the lake
