lyrics

The Island of Despair

Head to the south said the old to me
if only I had delayed a few more days!
It’s no time to leave, said the young to me
but there’s no way to see the alternative
if you are so eager to set sail.
Water in my shoes, waves slapping my face:

On the ship, tied to the ropes, I'm going down
I'm going...

The winds can be merciless for a crew:
now caress the sails, now tear the ropes
like the woman who once said in my ear:
“be careful what you do, be careful what you say:
you’re too eager to get damned!”
In a blink of an eye she was slapping my face!

On the ship, tied to the ropes, I'm going down
I'm going down
I’m going down
Going down

Where are you now?
Where am I now?

When you sink the ocean speaks to you
surrounds you with the whisper of the truth
and then it gently reminds you that you are too small
to put up any resistance to the force of the sea
I'm so eager for everything to end
water in my eyes water under my skin

On the ship, tied to the ropes, I'm going down
I'm going down
I’m going down
Going down

Where are you now?
Where am I now?

Where are you now?
Where am I now?

Insolubilia
by Ske

supported by 19 fans who also own “The Island of Despair”

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
