Eloy - Performance


In Disguise

ballet on ice
you will fall before you know - hey
watch where you go
beat the retreat
everytime you have to choose - hey
you'll always lose
the back is where you've found your seat
happy that you've got off cheap

cameras replace your eyes
offering life in disguise
integrity two of a kind
depends on how it's defined
cameras replace your eyes
offering too many lies
time's a healer don't react just call it fate

the governing few saluted like uniforms - hey
where were you born
talk when you're asked
sign when you see dotted lines - hey
don't take your time
don't you ever contemplate
before you find out it's too late

as long as your illusions will put you to confusion - disturb
nothing will force, provoke or motivate to react
you sport a line of sight
which comes close to being blind

cameras replace your eyes
offering life in disguise
integrity two of a kind
depends on how it's defined
cameras replace your eyes
offering too many lies
time's a healer don't react just call it fate

Shadow And Light

you take fate like a machine
unable to react
and with the heart of stainless steel
you only count the facts
you fought your soul with all your might
do you believe this could be a glorious fight

cynically you talk to me now
wish to be seen that way
you alone challenging life
jumping the waves of a day
you fought your soul with all your might
but do you believe this could be a glorious fight

shadow and light are same
the shades inbetween a game

you get drunk on stary skies
and inhale the coolness
there's this deepness of sentiment
running through you
the world flowing in streams
as the most precious dream
warm and mild
and now crystaline clear
you can face life without fear

you're a romantic but scared of yourself
always suspecting attack
afraid to be caught vulnerable
unable to react
you fought your soul with all your might
but do you believe this can be a glorious fight

Surrender

i surrender to your logical sense
where bad and good are black and white
where it's easy to point out who is wrong
who's to be damned and who is alright
there will be a niche for me
somewhere in your sketch-book world
it's down to categories
it's down to the death of fantasy

i surrender to your will to unite
'WE' is holy and 'I' doesn't count
where i follow the winds of my time
majorities rule out doubt
i'll cheer along and stay in line
step a step your sketch-book world
it's bound to categories
it's down to the death of fantasy

one is barely nothing - i surrender
only whispers - i surrender
can't call out loud - i surrender

may i just be dust in this world
still this world is made of me
may i cry out against the wind
it will always carry me

i'll cheer along and stay in line
step a step your sketch-book world
it's bound to categories
it's down to the death of fantasy
we praise conformity
mesmerized by unity

Heartbeat

a sun going down i'd like to capture
in painting or song the motion and mood
a sky i would steal if it could be held fast
the wind dies away it's perfectly still
you can't exceed that kind of sundown
enormous beautiful heartbeat of earth
it's so smooth and still it's so restless
concentration beginning and end

the moon rising high light in the darkness
creating a gleam you can't really grasp
somehow unreal both tempting and scaring
indistinct phase vague and reserved
you can't eclipse that kind of moonrise
magical heartbeat of earth
it's so slow and still it's so restless
steadily taking its course

sound of a heartbeat
stable and certain - life
breath of a new day
welcomed in wonder

Fools

we're walking contradictions
and toothless we try to bite
we live up to our standards
though we know they are not right

we always stand up to fight - yeah
when nothing's left to win
we draw the shades when we're bothered
ignorance is our twin
we've got our fancy empty preconceived life
still somehow we wonder why we're seldom satisfied

only the fools
will applaud this strange self-deception
only the fools
will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form
we're the first to claim their piece
and then the first to beg for release

why do we sanction their means with a nod
boasting the absolute freedom of thought
we are fools
we hide with pride behind tolerant words
neglecting the fact that we've been lured
we are fools, we are tools

only the fools
will applaud this strange self-deception
only the fools
will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form
we're the first to claim their piece
and then the first who beg for release

A Broken Frame

face that shaped dreams
lost in a broken frame
colour is fading but for now
seems all the same
the smile i loved in the mornings
now miles away
once restrained and then winning
once so open and next discreet

hear the drizzle of the rain
window's creaking
are there foot-steps in the hall
no a tap must be leaking
I'm lonely

all these noisy little nothings, silly nothings
drive me insane, it's scary
can you imagine just how i feel
i'm slipping   i'm drowning
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

the bit of certainty i had
undermined and shaken
it's fading
the walls of sand are finally breaking
i'm slipping   i'm drowning

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

nothing is collapsing it's all unchanged
but it is stuck in a broken frame
there's still a balance that will remain
and won't slip out of a broken frame

no further will i drift away
abandoning my course
i start it now
i'll catch a wave back to the shore not so far away
i start it now

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something......
