Monochrome

Everyone around me
Seems they’re living lives of colour
But all I see around me
Is never-ending grey
Unchanging landscapes
What am I searching for?
All that this could ever be
Was just a dream, just a dream
The colours blur and fade
Monochrome
Blind to the path ahead
Or perhaps it’s simply tunnel vision
Unchanging landscapes
Haze obscures the sight
I cling to tenderness
It slips out of my grasp
All that this could ever be
Was just a dream, just a dream
Forgive me
It was never my intent
To hold you under
Under the water
I dared to hope
And for ten days I was free
Struggle towards illusions of bliss
Perhaps the others we see
Are just the same
Just the same

Validation

[chorus]
You’ve built me up
To more than I could ever hope to be
Balance passion and obligation
A gateway to validation
What if I cannot live up
To these expectations
The pressure rises even as I ascend
I am shown endless ladders
But one misstep could see
Them all turn on me
Stepping across the tightrope
We all must learn to walk alone
A world full of open doors
(And in the end) I can choose only one
Who can I trust?
[chorus]

A Glance Behind
04:15
|
|||
|
Of those at your side today
Who will be there tomorrow?
People go their separate ways
Without a second thought
It seems I’m taking a glance behind me
Not of regret, but of reflection
The faces change
As we make yet another turn
Acquaintance
Connections
Divergence
Acceptance
As we gain an understanding
Of exactly what we need
We forge the bonds that lift us
Erase toxicity
So transient, the ties that bind us
All whom I know are memories
I can barely recall the faces
As they come and go
Faster, faster than I can follow

Breath of Life

|
Look beyond the present
Find the silver lining
Without perseverance
The light is only blinding
[chorus]
A spark ignites my faded eyes
All at once I remember, like a breath of life
The story ever-changing
Through ashes I am rising
A place all too familiar
How do I keep returning here
My heart and my conscience
Trading blows once again
Carry me to new horizons, my mind is set
Life never leaves any time for regret
[chorus]
Future focus
Past is behind us
The story ever-changing
Through ashes I am rising

Tranquility
05:23
|
|||
|
Worry wears the soul
Makes wrecks of us all
Inadvertently it corrodes
All that makes us whole
Release your needless doubt
[chorus]
Free the mind
Paint a picture of tranquility
In a world that never stops talking
Discover a moment’s peace
Close your weary eyes
A sense of inner calm
Silver rends the storm clouds
No more raindrops fall
Release your needless doubt
[chorus]
Just breathe
Exhale stress
Inhale peace
Just breathe
In a life so vain
It’s better than a fantasy
Never take for granted
The glorious gift of silence

I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too

What a creative and unique EP from David! I love the intricacy and level of detail in the soundscape so much. There's always something for my ear to catch each time I visit this release. This is one of his more underrated releases, in my opinion. Great job, David! :D
