about

This song is more abstract than what I usually write.
I tried to put my own words on everything that happened these three past years, and how it has left us with this disappearing horizon to look at, without knowing how far it will go, how long it’s gonna last.
It was only getting worse, affecting relationships, mental and physical health, and also the passion I have for what I do. Because sometimes it just felt like « what’s the point in even trying? ». But obviously I didn’t give up, as we’re releasing this song now.
So for the video I wanted to free myself from this feeling, I wanted to escape and dance my pain away.

More about the video : We had a 15min window where the light was perfect to make this single shot.
We did it very spontaneously, just my friend Sofian and I, during a freezing-cold late-November day.
It’s pretty straightforward but really fits what I wanted to express with the song. This desperate need for freedom.

lyrics

Settlements
The end in sight
Can’t forget
Can’t hold fight
Healing process
Time out
Reaching hands
In the rising tide
And all what’s left
Is sinking down

As light bends over the horizon
My entire world unravels

Losing sense
Marking time
The sun sets
On all lives
Losing faith
Burning out
The wave breaks
On the shoreline
And beyond the edge

As night fell over the ocean
Lies and prayers swirl

As light bends over the horizon
My entire world is sinking down
