Once (Radio Edit)

about

“Once” is looking to the past as it reverberates into the present and embraces the future. This song finally brings together what instrumental music composer Static Dark used to do in his beginnings namely writing lyrics and performing vocals. Featuring the lovely and fiercely competent guest vocals of Fabienne Roethlisberger and the vividly beautiful piano of Andreas Svarc this song is one step further in the chapter of Static Dark’s musical output. Look into the mirror and ask yourself what do you see?

lyrics

Once (Radio Edit)

I was born to walk this path alone
far away from the light, far away from home
Yes, I’m almost gone - fall away from it all
no peace of mind, there’s no answer to my call

See all the fears you cannot face
turn into wars - you cannot flee
feed all the longings that we’ve chased
while pulling you away from me

Show me a sign that I can read
(you will never read it, you don’t want to see it)
turn me away from things I need
(don’t need anything…don’t want everything)
send me a note how to proceed
(you will never read it, you don’t want to see it)
turn me away and watch me bleed
(going all the way...how long I cannot say)

Voices now lead you somewhere else
they tell you secrets I can't hear
Time...changing us into ourselves
taking away both hope and fear

All through the ages we turn the same pages
and all we discover is too much to bother
and all we experience is fear of transcendence
and we run for cover, dismissing our lovers

And all these mirrors on the wall
(tell me what you see…is it you or me?)
won’t show you anything at all
(you will not deceive with your make-belief)
won’t turn back time or help you out
(tell me what you see…can we let it be?)
won’t ever take away our doubt
(we are never free…we can’t ever be)
