[length: 09:02]
[00:02.09](I. Impasse of Thoughts)
[00:05.76]I can’t see you, I can’t hear you
[00:11.78]Do you still exist?
[00:29.44]I can’t feel you, I can’t touch you,
[00:34.38]Do you exist?
[00:36.72]The Phantom Agony
[01:06.45]I can’t taste you, I can’t think of you,
[01:11.27]Do we exist at all?
[01:15.81](II. Between hope and despair)
[01:28.25]The future doesn’t pass
[01:30.95]And the past won’t overtake the present
[01:35.53]All that remains is an obsolete illusion
[01:43.38]We are afraid of all the things that could not be
[01:53.84]A phantom agony
[02:14.09]Do we dream at night
[02:16.42]Or do we share the same old fantasy?
[02:20.74]I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams
[02:28.98]We are afraid of all the things that could not be
[02:40.05]A phantom agony
[02:44.93]Tears of unprecedented beauty
[02:50.03]Reveal the truth of existence
[02:55.68]We’re all sadists
[03:01.05]The age-old development of consciousness
[03:08.35]Drives us away from the essence of life
[03:14.97]We meditate too much,
[03:19.12]So that our instincts will fade away
[03:24.91]They fade away
[03:44.91]What’s the point of life
[03:47.34]And what’s the meaning if we all die in the end?
[03:52.96]Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
[03:59.82]We are afraid of all the things that could not be
[04:10.52]A phantom agony
[04:15.63]Tears of unprecedented beauty
[04:20.81]Reveal the truth of existence
[04:26.57]We’re all pessimists
[04:31.62]The age-old development of consciousness
[04:39.33]Drives us away from the essence of life
[04:46.03]We meditate too much,
[04:50.08]So that our instincts will fade away
[04:56.15]They fade away
[05:46.19]Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
[05:51.84]What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony
[05:57.49]A te spiritus noster devoratur
[06:02.37]Et nostra anima capitur
[06:22.18](III. Nevermore)
[08:56.28]The lucidity of my mind has been revealde in new dreams
[08:57.10]I am able to travel where my heart goes
[08:57.63]In search of self-realisation
[08:57.98]This is the way to escape from our agitation
[08:58.17]And develop ourselves
[08:58.67]Use your illusion and enter my dream…
