Sylvan Fearless Lyrics

COMMENT:
Wow, what a difference to previous works! For the beginning we were inspired by some raga influences during our concert tours on festivals. The second part was added later. We had a rather psycodelic experience during the recording of this part as we where jumping around, hitting on all sort of things while trying to produce some interesting sound.

It's definitely not a usual Sylvan song but it presents know influences. The slide solo at the end is actually the first time we use this technique on an album.

"Fearless" deals with the fears one has to live with.
Calm down and take my time
I got to keep cool and then unwind
I got to stay sane and take a breath
I got to slow down and just relax

I try to persuade myself for real
I try to keep control of all my fears
I try to switch off and eventually turn aside
And I try but I know it's a waste of my time

Run away ... run away
Need it - Do I - Try it - Will I - here
Want it - Can I - Got it ...

Rejoice like others do
I want to let go and be just like you
I want to hang around while I think of nothing else
I want to be sun and not the rain

I cannot just stop this masquerade
I cannot accept that it's too late
I cannot lose my anxiety
But I try to find a place where I used to be me

I try to break out but I cannot succeed
I have to be strong but again I'm too weak
My senses are frail - so defenseless within
But though I'm afraid I will never give in

Coalitions of viciousness fade away and take up
All my weird sensations - wish I could just wake up
From my known improvised life to make up
My mind inside - will I just capitulate and give up ?

Insufficiently wise and I don't know when I'll grow up
Myself compromised and the cracks now show up
In my own crystallized side to blow up
To vaporize but I'll never give up ...

Within our heads so deep inside,
within our depths - that's where they hide
And in our heads they're buried deep;
and with these shades we have to live
