lyrics

The stories you will never know
The dreams broken up to dust
Voices, faces all dissolved
In the sea of long time gone
Can still inspire little songs

Mad poems, the river rhymes, it's high tide
You don't know it yet but you're on my side
Like the bruises of a mom, who got hit by her son
Form a painting you are scared to look at

The stories I don't want to know
My dreams broken up to dust
Your voice, your face, your skin dissolved
In the sea of long time gone
Oh tell me will they, inspire little songs

Old songs the sun sings high, you're my child
But you have stopped to listen for a while now
Hidden behind walls, built to control it all
Concrete skin, frozen safely in

And it really took me a long time to see that before
Humans never thought of themselves as the superior species
And deep down, in everyone’s heart is fear and awe for nature
And the animal
Whom we used to call gods

Maybe it makes sense to shoot
And it feels safer to constrain
Decide the cause of all
Make everything the same
I see why you want to shoot
Everything right through the brain
There is no shorter way to rid you of your little pains
But constrained gods will shrink to beasts
That bite their cages with their teeth
Should we not seek to speak
Like a charmer to a snake
Let us take that leap of faith
End our solipsistic state
This is the now I crave

To live among Wild Gods

about

Echofly image

Echofly Amsterdam, Netherlands

Echofly, een nieuwsgierig folk-vliegje dat soms dwarrelt in melancholische gebieden, maar ook best catchy kan fladderen. Begeleid door harmonieën op viool en cello, à capella zang, harmonium en cajon. Elk nummer vertelt een verhaal. Verhalen over de natuur en verhalen over de stad en alles wat daarin krioelt. ... more
