lyrics
I have to choose between the land that greets me cordially
And the one that tells me what it feels
I have to choose a flag
A banner or a paper bag
The lowest cut, the shortest skirt, the highest heel
I have to not have to do the things I have to do
At least I think that’s what I want
To say to a river that’s forgotten where it flows
You speak to me in poetry
And laugh at me in prose
I have to choose between
A song built around complexity
Or one destroyed by complexity
And in between a choice I have
To not have to want what I have
Is close to closing itself into halves
I have to choose a rock
A stone wall or a wall-borne clock
‘Cause something strong there ought to be
To say to an ocean that’s in envy of a sea
Your waters ebb in prose
And flow in poetry
I have to write back home
In time to let my mother know
With colour or invisible ink
Either way they’re bound to know
Just as much as I let go
In the backwards way I thought
I blink
“You dare to raise your voice”
Don’t entertain me with a choice
The thought of it well past where it was chose
To say to a poor man who still owns fancy clothes
You flatter me in poetry
And bludgeon me in prose
I need to find the place
To spackle in the empty space
Where faces make their way into my dreams
About something I understand
Beside a love that I can stand
Beside a love that is just what it seems
To be just what it is
My business what is this
That couldn’t be what I tell it to be?
To say to my lover that I have yet to see
You walk away with prose
And smile with poetry

Si votre préférence va vers du prog moderne et du post-rock. Je ne connaissais pas le premier, ce deuxième album d’Arcade Messiah éveille mon intérêt pour ce groupe. Stéphane Gallay

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard! wafiii
