Fluorescent (The Total Orchestra) - Solefald

Gaia sips the drink of artificial red

Carefully served by a fluorescent sky

Gaia sips the drink of artificial red

She swallows the light

Only to throw up shadows minutes later

On a broken public toilet

Carefully served by a fluorescent sky

She swallows the light

Only to throw up shadows minutes later

On a broken public toilet

Inside her

The neonism is fed until it burst with colour

Inside her

The neonism is fed

Unleashing the brightest shadow of all times

Until it burst with colour

She swallows the light

Only to throw up shadows minutes later

On a broken public toilet

A noise is released;

high-pitched

Voices, the rumbling of tin and

Machines, devilish decibels

Open my eyes, see what I expected;

red

Melted plastic, yellow neon, pompous sunset over Lucky Beach

In the street

Metallic streams wash the concrete shores

Gaia is wet and sick

But she doesn’t care anymore

Hair sticks to her face as she screams

Being absorbed by colours

Now she’s the brightest one of all

But no one’s there to see

Gaia is wet and sick

She swallows the light

Only to throw up shadows minutes later

On a broken public toilet

When everything abates at last

The universal glue cements wrong

To true, keeps the tongues in place

Now she’s the brightest one of all

The weightlessness from life

The total orchestra concluded

No one expected to see
