about

與 Cicada（Taiwan）相識於2016年年初，經過大半年的溝通及製作，完成了 Grey 這首作品。他們精彩的弦樂編制加上我們的創作，造就了這首長達近九分鐘的作品。

---

Earlier this year we’ve met Cicada from Taiwan and talked about a collaboration project, working on a 9 minutes long piece of music together, combining our compositions and Cicada’s arrangement on the strings section.

lyrics

Part 1 Verse 1:
Just the kind of life you saved
Just the kind of choice you gave
Just another page to paint
Just another drunken saint

Part 1 Chorus 1:
Just another way to grieve
For the Gods we all believed

Part 1 Verse 2:
Only if the world stops turning
Only if the woods are burning
Only if your meats are prepared
Only if your dreams are nightmares

Part 1 Chorus 2:
Show me where your paint decays
You can only choose the grey

Part 2:
Ramblin’ to a place like home
Anyway I am all alone
Sitting with my mirrored chrome
A twin-like clone
My falling bones

Part 3:
Just another
Way to say good night
Someone’s waiting
When the candle dies

Part 4:
(instrumental)

Part 5:
Better stay away from the pain of the world
Never let the grey disappoint you
Better stay away from the pain of the world
Never let the grey disappoint you
