new album by Eric Gingras
Little Black Pearl
Sea shells in the sunshine
and a little black pearl rolling up to me
water running free
carrying the pearl away from me
Back and forth the tide wants more
everyday taking away its shores
She’s washed away…
Darkness of a moonshine and the shadow of a wave haunting my beliefs
water running free
Carrying me to the land of needs
Back and forth…
I’m washed away…
Sea shells in the sunshine
and a little black pearl washes up to me
water running free
carrying the pearl away from me

Une Citadelle de Feu
Une citadelle de feu
pour toi et moi
tissée d’amertume
du bout de mes doigts
ton évitement me perd
ton mépris l’amplifie
ta langue de vipère
ah! que c’est exquis
un amalgame de traits
toujours plus haut de gamme
m’empêchent de te situer
avant que tu ne sois dame
j’apprends à te connaitre
ton silence et tes cris
mais ou allons nous être
une fois les pleurs finis
un amalgame de…
un père angoissé
ne fait que rendre frêle
un enfant peu promu
parmi ses bagatelles
une citadelle de feu
pour vous et moi
située dans ma ville
à milles lieux de toi, lieux de toi

Know The Inside
Kissing the feet of the people I meet,
I can never say who I love and who I hate.
I let them do the judging
I let them do the judging
and hope I am my only self,
cause with others there’s no guarantee of faith
And in the end it’s only me that suffers and offers you the chance
to know the inside
Hoping to see what you see
looking at the blue sea
telling them what to be
Challenging them to be free
And in the end it’s only me that suffers and offers you the chance
to know the inside

Collis Browne: vocals, snares

You’ll Be Sleeping
put a pillow under your head
you’ll be sleeping soon
you’ll be sleeping soon my darling
you’ll be sleeping soon
lay your hand on your waste
you’ll be sleeping soon
you’ll be sleeping soon my darling
you’ll be sleeping soon
how are your dreams my darling
are they ‘coming true
are they ‘coming true my darling
are they ‘coming true
have you lost your friends my darling
do you miss a few
do you miss a few my darling
do you miss a few
put a pillow under your head
you’ll be sleeping soon
you’ll be sleeping soon my darling
you’ll be sleeping soon

À Quand?
L’aisselle qui sent sans le sel puant,
elle m’attire dans dans ses formes sombres, brouillantes
nous respirons en canon des sons trop discrets pour les murs
et tombons doucement dans l’écume de nos lèvres
saillant sans un mot je m’étends sur son dos
le dôme troublant…
le chant du sot, le son du sang, sans cesse recherché
souvent dans le sang, toujours dans l’amour
la levée du jour, à quand toujours,
à quand ?
à quand ?

L’Homme Roman
Il vomit de mots mis à part sa mise
face à la mort qu’il défit de mise
souvent à l’eau de vie, de vivre
et je m’ennuie de ses grumeaux géants
de son souvenir gênant
et de son sourire latent
souvent sonnant la nuit
une voix artificielle se fait entendre
en feux d’artifices
et elle tremble d’épuisement
solide car la masse n’a pas encore succombé
au poids des actions momentanées
coupable d’être un personnage qui nage
dans l’âge de la réflexion, la déception
renouvelé sans cesse avec l’acharnement d’un perdant
une fidélité volatile pour un ami point mercantile
et je m’ennuie de ses grumeaux géants
de son souvenir gênant
et de son sourire latent

Moments of Repetition
torching flowers and silent mornings
open up to new beginnings
depart from your old time position
yielding moments of repetition
yielding moments of repetition
explode mirrors of power searching
delayed by neverending climbings
follow us in deranged arrangements
yielding moments of repetition
yielding moments of repetition
plunging in choices of misfortune
resurface in resistence
transmissions of droning liquids
forever in your yearning
clouds of blood for new fruits of senses
never retract from your own sources
never retract from your own sources
yielding moments of repetition
yielding moments of repetition

Falling Star
Don’t be scared to put your hands in the dirt
When she’s out you’re all alone on this earth
You feel the void that you avoid
You’re left all alone and you a boy
You beleive in things that seems to happen but they never do never do
When you wake up falling… falling… falling…
When I wake up I kind of feel you close
a star in the sky is too far away for most
You feel the void that you avoid
You’re left all alone and you a boy

My Moving Mirror
I clap, i clap my hands in the river
i clap, i clap my hands
“it’s not you!” she says: “take off your skeleton gloves”
“i feel those words are cutting you up”
tumbling and tumbling
my moving mirror, my moving mirror
you will leave me when i get too blue for you
when it gets too late for us
i climb, i climb hills that never
i climb hills that never end
i can breath, on one side, on this side
i can go, she keeps my on the good side
my moving mirror, my moving mirror
you will leave me when i get too blue for you
when it gets too late for us
I clap, i clap my hands in the river
i clap, i clap my hands
“is it you?” she says: “take off those skeleton shoes”
“your feet hurt ’cause of the razor-sharp rocks”
my moving mirror, my moving mirror
you will leave me when i get too blue for you
when it gets too late for us

Somewhere In The Sky
Grey and shiny life of the sky
leave no message of demise
Gliding numerous endless nights
and gently pace all of your flights
take this note, follow the wind
take this oath to my dearest kin
one million arms
the way to your heart
you feel a distress
the pounding starts
one silver dart
no shadows in the world can part
i do not control her
she flies above me
Grey and shiny life of the sky
leave no message of demise
Gliding numerous endless nights
and gently pace all of your flights
take this note, follow the wind
take this oath to my dearest kin
