about

track 9 from "insight"

lyrics

the wind has swept the ashes away and my crawling heart stands up / the air smells fresh, the pain has stopped / the rooftop is not far away and I start climbing up the stairs / not sure what I might find out there // standing on the isle of air the clouds turn to searchlights / then I start to realize they’re looking out for me / revolving round a field of doors they’re tryin to catch me / feelin like a refugee on the flight across the sea // the secret is behind these doors (you run from your life — but there’s no reason to hide) / and I don’t know which one to take / cause everybody’s calling me — (just stop to lie and start to realize) / too many choices there to make // the roof is like a carousel my soul needs a recast / our future is your secret past / examine your dusty memories and your subconscious mind / the answer’s buried deep inside // I am looking for a way to find out the right one / but everyone is showing me another open door / it’s hard to make a choice out there cause everyone is calling / from the other side — I feel like being pushed to the wall // the secret is behind these doors (you run from your life — but there’s no reason to hide) / and I don’t know which one to take / cause everybody’s calling me — (just stop to lie and start to realize) / too many choices there to make // a block of stone just cannot roll — flying birds are not there to crouch / feel like an old dunkey that has to run like a horse / a withered flower that has to bloom like a rose / but I can’t change the truth and I can’t change the rules / the only way out is to go through these doors / so I take a run-up no reason to stop / the handle’s near // the secret is behind these doors (just push the door, it’s your way up from the floor) / no matter which one I’ll take / the first step is the hardest one (the way is long but your heart is strong) / but the best one I could make / the puzzles fixed, there’s no more risk / behind these open doors / I feel so strong, I find my way to walk on / through open doors
