The Secrets of Our Land

 

Marionette


Day-in day-out in my life
Fade-in fade-out passing by

Stuck in my head
I will never last alone
All in my head
I would never care unless
You are on a stage
With my heart on a string
And my life at your will


As requested by Swapnil Bhopatkar

"Stuck in my head... And my life at you will"

One of Marionette's inspirations was the final sequence of the movie "Black Orpheus". Right after watching the movie I started decostructing that scene in my head and it went on and on for days.


Day-in day-out in my life
Fade-in fade-out passing by
Lights-in lights-out on the room
Turning my heart into stone
Day-in day-out in my life
Fade-in fade-out passing by
Lights-in lights-out on the room
Telling my arms how to move

Stuck in my head
A melody I'm too tired to sing
All in my head
I'm sensing a lie into how I feel
on a stage
With my heart on a string
And my life at your will

Day-in day-out in my life
Fade-in fade-out passing by
Lights-in lights-out on the room
Turning my heart into stone
Day-in day-out in my life
Fade-in fade-out passing by
Lights-in lights-out on the room
Telling my arms how to move


When lines are Curved

Where'd you hide
When September has done its course?
Between the naked trees in the forest?
Beyond the secrets of our land?

I might run in circles for yards
I might give my body to the Fangs

Where'd you take your hollow chest
When nights are cold
When Lines are Curved

I might run in circles for yards
I might give my body to the Fangs
Or I might just leave the branch
