about

This is a meditative song about time, and how we walk through it. How we leave things behind, how we sometimes regret about decisions made, how we sometimes miss the state we were in when we were younger. During my time living in Sweden I learnt the word Mångata and have used it to link that period of time with the above-explained emotions. Albert Camus said that the absurd man is the one that doesn't detach from time.. / Japhy R.

lyrics

Like a blurry sign, slowly disappearing in the mist
Like a distant point, when you turn your back for the last time

Like the lucid instinct you once had before the anguish pulled it out
Like the tender body you get cruelly given just to be stripped out when you get used to it

We lose our mångata x 4

What are the days for if we forget how to look back and learn about it?
Just to make us feel more overwhelmed with all the weight we bear on us?

We had a great chance ahead of us but now is gone and couldn’t catch it
That was our life, quietly sinking down the past, in the void of time

We lose our mångata x 4
