TERRESTRIAL lyrics
(all lyrics ©Lina Nyberg, questions concerning use: info(a)linanyberg.se ):
MILKY WAY
The sense of one’s own importance, at the time your story opens – is immense
All threads are drawn together, all that you used to find confusing, suddenly makes sense
It’s the most welcome sensation, when the compass is functioning again
All treads will be drawn together just before the story ends
Early morning filled with hope
Elisete packs her bags to go
I just stumbled you just lied
Edie loves the apple pies
The world is turning
The sun is burning
we swim on the Milky way
Shufen wakes up to the scent of snow
long before the others know
Little Jasmine dies before she heard
The mockingbird
Deep inside your mother knows
You are there and so you start to grow
like a lighthouse in the night
show the way you´re shining bright
The world is turning
The sun is burning
we swim on the Milky way
All threads are drawn together
All you used to find confusing, suddenly make sense
You can’t regain what used to be
Just remember gracefully
You can’t undo you can’t unlearn now
you have passed the point of no return
The Planet
I’m the planet I’m the Mother
I grow all things I own all things
You are me and I am you forever more
I’m the jungle I’m the magma
I’m the quicksand I’m a dustbin
You can’t hurt me you can’t stop me you can’t win
I’m the bedrock I’m the moraine
I’m evolving I’m dissolving
Every body, every building without strain
I’m the river I’m the hedgehog
I’m the T-rex I’m the woodlouse
I am now and then and past and future all in one
You’re just a spark in the night
You’re just a shooting star passing by
A beautiful dragonfly
I put a seed in the ground and I grow it
I reap what I sowed and it’s grand
I let life find a way and I know it
I’m on my way, I’m on my way
Gravity
My fear finally reached preposterous proportions
so now I’m fearless
I’m furiously falling again with the common commotion
And terrestrial emotion
I expect an impact soon
I can’t be your lonely moon
Gravity, come to me
Gravity, instantly
Gravity, one two three
I´m terrestrial at heart let the lovely choir start
I once was blind but now I see
I once was numb but now I feel
Oh my I’m in a swoon by the vigorous collision
so now I’m speechless
I’m lame and I’m covered with mud
but the seeds will start growing
and wind will start blowing
the grass will billow in the breeze
we’ll be surrounded by the trees
Gravity, come to me
Gravity, instantly
Gravity, one two three
I’m terrestrial at heart let the lovely choir start
I once was blind but now I see
I once was numb but now I feel
THE ELECTRA (version for orchestra)
The wind in my eyes
My hair in the air
Sing away my fear
The sound of the engine
I’m carefree alone
Lonely in a crowd
Sing away my name
The sound of the engine
She doesn’t underestimate my ability
She doesn’t underestimate my capacity
Ascending Ascending
The Electra is here to cure my pain
She keeps humming on this sweet refrain
We’re on a higher altitude
We’ve got a better attitude
It’s such a soothing solitude
Prepare the disguise
My hair in the air
Sing away my fear
Get ready for landing
I’m changing my ways
Lonely in a crowd
Sing away the fear
Get ready for landing
She doesn’t underestimate my ability
She doesn’t underestimate my capacity
The pressure increases
Descending Descending
The pressure increases
Descending Descending
The Electra is here to cure my pain
She keeps humming on this sweet refrain
We’re on a higher altitude
We’ve got a better attitude
It’s such a soothing solitude
Terrestrial III (O Humanity)
O Humanity O Variety
Rely on the light and the water
Bringing us sons and daughters
We work with the soil and the moonlight
We hide from the sunburn and frostbite
Where will our love be when we die?
It’s hidden beneath the surface
Transforms into lichens and turtles
O Humanity O Diversity
Rely on the truth of the senses
Constructing internal defenses
Explore and annex in the morning
At sunset the conquers are boring
Where will our lives be when we die?
It’s hidden beneath the surface
Transforms to amphibians and myrtle
O Humanity O Etnicity
We just belong to the planet
We should be happy we have it
The wisdom falls into oblivion
Discovered anew by the living
Where will our truth be when we die
It’s swallowed by maggots and algaes
Transforms into mountains and valleys
It fortifies earth and her waters
Entropia
Quarks and leptons
Ants and lions
Mars and Neptune
Canvas and crayons
All at sea
But on the ground
Head in clouds
But safe and sound
Truth will out
I’m on the move
Cover me
This is the cue
As we go for the impossible
We can make it possible
Unravel Deliver
Cook and simmer eat the dinner
Care and cherish, bark and scold
Dab and nourish, kiss and hold
Get real get going
Go to work start growing
Build a home, plant a tree
Paint the walls eagerly
Eat your meals, take a swim
Have a laugh, let’s begin
Break down, break lose
Make out, seduce
Get sad, get real
Break free, make a deal
As we go for the impossible
We can make it possible
Quarks and leptons
Ants and lions
Mars and Neptune
Canvas and crayons
All at sea
But on the ground
Head in clouds
But safe and sound
Ingrid
I take over your life I get dressed in your
Fancy french not fake furs
I have a drink on the terrace with Cary
He’s attractive and handsome and so glamorous
I slip into your silky white skin
I’ll be better than ever I’ll be fabulous
Darling my darling where have you been
He says as I open the door
I can stand the taste of good champagne
I won’t worry about money anymore
Cause he’ll take care of the check you see
He’ll take care of me you see
I’ve got flat next to Lagoa
I throw a party each week
I don’t know what I’m living for
I don’t know, I don’t care, I don’t seek
Now I took a walk in the scenery
It’s not polluted you see
And I took a swim in the cardboard sea
It’s not polluted you see
They will fade before the kiss gets kinky
And before I get too drunk
They’ll fade before the rough times start
They fade before you see the junk
