Drowned up by humanities own misery, this song can be understood as an angry prayer. A prayer to God, who's existence is questioned, a chant to a father who disappeared, a desperate cry for help while trying to wake up to a reality that shows nothing more than "broken pieces & bloody mirrors". Musically the song is composed as if we are thrown back into some sort of a tribe, which stands for the connection between humans and Mother Earth. The mix between dreamy elements and a pretty critical background story should put a spotlight to this complex, paradox life we all are trying to live to the fullest. Each day waking up with the same question as to what extend. (Mia Knop Jacobsen)
lyrics
Oh dear father, can you hear us?
Broken pieces, bloody mirrors
Oh dear father, don't come near us
To this day you failed to free us
They say run this time
Black hole, evil mind
Cutting through the Gray
Seeping through the lines
Oh dear, oh dear mine
Shoot up blind this time
Barely woke, a slave
Left a mark behind
Oh dear father, can you hear us?
Broken pieces, bloody mirrors
Oh dear father, don't come near us
To this day you failed to free us
Hollow echoes sligh
River envy die
Drowned up by the rain
Pointing to the sky
Lifeless mirror pray
You know what they say
One beat at a time
As he walks away
Oh dear father, can you hear us?
Broken pieces, bloody mirrors
Oh dear father, don't come near us
To this day you failed to free us
Failed to free us, failed to free us, failed to free us ....
