Where do I see the mist of your heart? When do I share the tears of your eye? Where does my sea set calm in the dark? dark, mmm There I’ll be away, far from your sweet lies Where do I stand within the game of love? What is my path and the line you walk on? Why should I let you see me surrender? Do these thin lines cross as the far lights of signs that wave upon our clouds? Where do I see? Where do I leave? Your eyes The lies Our lines The eyes The lies Your eyes

setting of the sun a circle’s hiding behind the blue line of the sea as I’m quietly, gently wondering how small are we, compared to this? am I ever gonna feel, feel free when you touch me? and you make your promises that you will hold me so tenderly my lips are vibrating and so are we dancing wildly to stand still oh I wish I did I’m not what I seem it’s a stormy tide rising of the sun a circle’s dawning behind the blue line of the sea as I’m quietly, gently wondering why do we live, where does it lead? are you ever gonna feel, feel free when I touch you? and I make my promises that I will hold you so tenderly your lips are vibrating and so are we

where are you heading girl? with that coat and with those shoes running faster than the water but when the day will be over what’s left, is it real? don’t you think, just feel these buildings are corrosive and traffic lights explosive this whole run makes no sense there’s gotta be a way to rest but isn’t it weird how people change? how fathers die and years have gone? how cities grow higher than that girl drying clothes on the second floor? running fast, around, and up and down but where do you go? where do you go? I sometimes wonder if you notice me while I’m watching you getting lost within this chaos you don’t know me but it feels like I do oh I’m walking with you sitting around the dinner table trying to talk but being unable I’ve seen you escaping, can’t you see? you need to run free but isn’t it weird how people change? how fathers die, and years have gone? how cities grow higher than that girl drying clothes on the second floor? running fast, around, and up and down but where do you go? where do you go? uuuuuuuh uuuh, tadadadadadadadada mmmmh tadadadadadadadada but hey girl, you’re fading hey girl, you’re fading hey girl hey girl, you’re fading uuuuh, we’re running in circles we’re running in circles, we’re getting lost uuuuh, we’re running in circles we’re running in circles you’re fading something must be found time makes no sound but it flows time flows

Let the river flow, river flow, river flow it goes faster than you think let me overdose, overdose, overdose on oxytocin I feel alone, I’m stressed out and I’m bleeding now still wondering why the world is spinning around too many questions in too little time where did silence go? my head needs breathing but I don’t know how to I’m a little child again but then, but then, but then, but then can you give me guidance? only you know how to everything hurts everything hurts everything hurts, but you can you give me guidance?

Whirlpools 05:05
Standing on the highway did I make you turn around? I can’t see you I will go my own way with a backpack and a smile I can’t breathe through You will find me overnight laying down, you say “hi, I’m home” give me a reason why you weren’t here tonight why is it that it feels like there’s no time to think yet all is motionless to me? reluctantly trying to cope with having no energy reality is all a lie people look okay but their soul is dry you can’t even look at them in the eye and I tried all they do is deny they’re blind I live in my fantasies will you come here and stay with me? when will I learn how to turn off the unbearable flow of my thoughts? I’m trapped, I’m trapped I rise and fall in your whirlpools oh will I disappear? maybe one day someone will see me why is it that it feels like there’s no time to think yet all is motionless to me? reluctantly trying to cope with having no energy reality is all a lie people look okay but their soul is dry you can’t even look at them in the eye and I tried all they do is deny they’re blind I live in my fantasies will you come here and stay with me? come over here there’s nothing to understand embrace my hand but do it gently standing on the highway did I make you turn around? I can’t see you

about

"Running In Circles" was born from a deep and visceral need to express myself, to bring out my way of drawing what I see and feel within me.
Although the songs hark back to inner worlds of suffering and are often critical of the reality around me, among the nuances and colors of the music and lyrics there’s an eye that shyly investigates the world and courageously questions itself, opening up to the possibility that perhaps, something new and different can still permeate reality.

It is a circular narrative, a spiral that gradually leads us, hand in hand, to gently and carefully feel the shortness of breath of those who see society running without ever stopping, blind and deaf to the calls for help of those who inhabit it, of those who try to get out of the circular thoughts that lead us to always retrace the same paths.
It is an invitation to stop, to listen and hear, to look, and to take good care of things and people. Exploring the themes of doubt, the relationship between one body and another, anxiety, and alienation, the record is a journey within oneself that occurs through the ups and downs of life, in an atmosphere of fragility, tenderness, and hope.
