Lyrics

There are unaffiliated smiles
Like independent creatures
Searching for a match
I tried to invade them
Like an imperialist power
Like a snake searching for its own skin
But they managed to resist
And to repel me. I was left without the magic
That I wanted to conquer and appropriate
And yearning maidens
Remained in their loneliness
Like sporadic bird chirps
That serve as mockery for the poor
I had willingness
But not surely enough courage
And willpower
The future remained ambiguous
Everything continued to be dependent on me
So far to no avail
Crowds sang to me
The anthem of indifference
I fought like a country
Weary of battles
My moderation did not lead
To a breakthrough My patience taught
The world to abuse me
I searched excessively
For the right angle
To land a decisive blow
But it's possible this was
Beyond my measure
I had A minimal influence
On the course of things
My attempts at self-improvement
Were as if in vain
I continued to search for a thread's end
To unravel from it an opening
For myself To enter through it
To another reality Less anxiety-provoking
But I continued to be hunted
Like an animal that doesn't know
How to properly defend itself
A feeling of helplessness
Began to spread in me
And I didn't know if or when
I would succeed in stopping the drift
I got into a situation
Of between here and there
A state of being lost
Lack of faith in my ability
To recover from the other's betrayal
I persisted in a reality
That seemed unfixable
I did not let the threads slip
I continued to hold them
Without knowing if they had already slipped
Fading comets seemed
Like false hopes
I got up with a thought –
For a stubborn person like me
It's a miracle I survived at all
To fight the depreciating time
By means of small improvements?
