Lights like diamonds in the night / A couple of snapshots make this instant everlasting / Though not as much as the memories in our minds / The flow may never stop / This is tattooed on our hearts / A song, a drink, another cigarette / Night after night / Feeling light and confident / Night after night / Your ugly voice / Cities with rivers, I wish I could stop your flow / Cities with rivers, I wish you didn’t have to go / I’d freeze this instant just like it is / Pure and untouched just like it is / We told ourselves from the start no way this is even possible / But did it anyway / A twisted force luring us in a trap/Attracted despite ourselves, we jumped the fence to the RCA / Now your image is a song stuck in my head / Don’t know what we want / What should happen / How can such bliss vanish so fast? / I wish I knew, but I just don’t / I wish I knew, question marks / Cities with rivers / You’ll never feel the same / Cities with rivers / You’ve painted my heart
2.
I sit by the water and every ripple brings a memory / I’m trying to figure out what went on in your head, in your heart / Cuz I can’t believe that’s all it took / For you to snap and leave the ship / You must be trying to prove something to yourself / To catch up with things long gone / But in fact just making a mess / I can’t believe that’s all it took / For you to leave all this behind / I can’t believe that’s all it took / For you to kiss our love goodbye / I can’t believe that’s all it took / For your heart to stagger and hit the ground / And hit the ground / Lost in the maze of your mind / You can’t find the exit / And you’re banging your head on the walls / Desperate, ready to take the first door / Volatile, the ideal prey / Cardboard will, paper heart / And you fall into the first trap, cheated by a mirage / I observe you and I think / Dead end after dead end / Never getting anywhere, feeling trapped and helpless
3.
Random Blaze 02:57
Step after step, trying to close the square / We tend to forget the simple things, which truly feed us / We eat, nothing quenches our thirst / Feeling full and empty at the same time / So many trees from which we could pick / We walk like blind men, our hearts tucked away / Obsessed by the tip of our nose / When we should be, taking it all in / Out of nowhere springs a butterfly / Flapping its wings to reveal pure beauty / Dying to show us, there’s enough to sustain us / At last we get it, at last we feel it, this random blaze / Sweet feelings slowly spread in our limbs / We feel the warmth in our chest / Doors open on new corridors / Let’s go get lost / Strange how things take on a new meaning when in a random blaze / Strange how we have it at our grasp when in a random blaze / Although it doesn’t last, this flash is everything / In a random blaze, in a random blaze…
4.
Another fix, another dawn / Another dusk, another climb / No more computation, out of grasp / Seasons fall, our life fleeting / A little like eclipses / No more rescue… There’s no more rescue / What’s the point of all this shit ? / All things upside-down / A plus for a minus, now / No more false relation / Endless + 1 / All things been done / Not really tried.
5.
Alright that’s enough, you’ve gone too far this time / I’ve had enough of your dirty footprints, of watching you / I’ve tried to tell you, yes tried to tell you / That everything has a price / But you won’t listen, no you won’t listen / So I’m gonna put an end to this / I’m gonna build the momentum for you / The clock will be ticking but time won’t be passing / The clock will be ticking / Tomorrow never comes / The sun won’t rise / Tomorrow never comes / The moon won’t shine, the night won’t end / You made me press the remote, I had to stop the show / Or it would have gone on, yes it would have gone on / From dusk to dusk and dawn to dawn you’ll have time to wonder / About what you did and what you can do / To retouch the picture / The clock will be ticking but time won’t be passing / The clock will be ticking but time won’t be passing !
6.
Yourself Don’t compromise with yourself you’re all you got / Don’t compromise with yourself you’ll loose the plot / Don’t compromise with yourself you’ll hurt your wit / Don’t compromise with yourself it’s not worth it / Though time passes and time bruises / Old griefs die out, new hopes arise / Though time passes and time bruises / Old friends come back, new foes capsize / But if you do I hope you’ll find your way / Yes if you do I hope you won’t go astray / And if you do, yes you may look back / Cuz if you do, you may well wanna turn back.

about

Oaraï Typhoon Orléans, France

Created in 2011, the side-project Oaraï Typhoon is the encounter of two alternative music lovers who enjoy unplugging the electric guitars of their punk-rock bands. It’s a spontaneous friendship, an unpretentious journey with no definite destination. Oaraï Typhoon is for the roving minds, for those who are on the lookout for something or just to escape… Under the rain. ... more
