from the running bandit



These are earth sighs
stuck in the tension
of our attention to the void
of our ideas
are our hands
tied in rings of reason and cold
They are human jokes
that don't make us laugh
or demolish the more serious side
of our ideas
are our mothers
trapped in the annals
of passion and tedium
It's the beginning of the war
devouring the endeavor
in penetrating on the back of the river
of our ideas
I wanted to be the plant
when I heard the earth calling for me

this has a great sound and the lyrics especially the end is so beautiful. The same with the clip it is so cool and compelling and then when you get to the water with the blue it is so beautiful ;)

I agree with you Vallie.
This song talks about the failure of our ideas stuck in something before they come truth.
This poem is very beautiful as all Manuel Cruz poems. Manuel Cruz studied in arts as we did. He's the running bandit in this project he leads.
The clip was made by some fan mixing old movies with and I guess a recent river scene at the end :-)

I'll have to come back later as there's some super-duper buffering going on and I can't watch it in a continuous stream, but the lyrics are great as well as the visuals!
