Symmetry is one of the songs that grew out of a musical idea. This way of composing is usually harder for me than starting out with a story. At the same time it feels more natural in a way.
At first I came to that particular type of groove that has a certain loose but pushing vibe.
It really took me a while to find out what the song should tell about. In an ephemeral moment the word „symmetry“ came to my mind. All the lyrics magically shaped around it because it gave me a lot of substance that I could musically refer to as well. (Philip Dornbusch)
lyrics
Longing for the unrevealed perfection
Desperate attraction, unrequited adoration
Flooding the expanse of abandoned dignity
Praise Narcissus’s legacy devoted to my
Golden glory mocking their forgotten grace
Dazed obsession’s haze arisen from their twisted visions
Sacred superstition’s deadly dances
Poisoned glances cover me addicted to my
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry
Poisoned glances cover me addicted to my
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Poisoned glances cover me addicted to my
Magic madness spreading, acid illusion heading for their Precious veins, rotten remains of maiden majesty
Tenderly turned into demonic delusion
Drown in liquid ecstasy their reaching for my
Vicious vines, paralyzing lines
Woven into echo’s appealing melody
Leading me to the forbidden river of subjection
My pure reflection blinding me by overwhelming
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Poisoned glances cover me addicted to my
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Poisoned glances cover me addicted to my
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
Symmetry, Symmetry, Symmetry,
