Hadopelagic II: Let Them Believe

(album: Pelagial - 2013)

I can feel
These circles will always touch in more than one point
Repelled and pulled towards each other: repelled again
Unconditional projection alternates with short
Fervid intervals of perfection and boundless bonding

But be sure: trust needs to be reevaluated
While our aging promises turn to plights
And their weight and meaning changes
Differing sizes of intersections:
Territories abandoned, lost and reclaimed
Everything's in constant motion

So let them live with the contradictions
Between what they call passion
And the constraints of our modern living
Which leave no space for the irrational

And most importantly
Let them have confidence and peace
Let them be powerless
But most surprisingly
They're not afraid of how they'll feel
When they come closer

All these restrictions are self-inflicted:
Let them be helpless
Let them embrace symbols of commitment
To compensate for the lack of it

I can feel
These circles will always touch in more than one point
Repelled and pulled towards each other: repelled again
Regulations and restrictions determine how we live
And what we've got to give

But be sure: trust needs to be reevaluated
While our ageing promises turn to plights

Change is what scares us shitless

Most importantly
Let them have confidence and peace
Let them be powerless
But most surprisingly
They're not afraid of how they'll feel
When they come closer

Symbols of commitment to disguise the lack of it
Let them believe
Let them believe in themselves
And let them live with their contradictions
What they call passion is just the turmoil
Caused by repression of their ambitions
Let them believe
