Lyrics
Blinding shining star You won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known You were an isle unto thyself You had a heart you hadn't felt Why would it hurt me Or was it real It was the night we had to part We were afraid to miss the start What did it matter Why would it matter And could we heal Blinding shining star You won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known I was a victim of magic Apollo Catching my breath as I bled on the ground Somebody called me to follow I followed Thinking aloud without hearing the sound Then all the planets fell to dust Lonely departing after us Gone not forgotten Long but forgotten old lore In every element of life Love camouflaging under strife Or other matters Minds over matters let there be more Maybe you'll exit tomorrow The sorrow Sweeping you off as your island replies Sudden invincible flowing A river Clearer than all thou might view with thine eyes Why did fire-erupted lands arrive? Why did murderous animals survive? Why did we deserve to be revived? Why was any and everything alive?
Matters Lyrics
Blind a shining star We won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known I was an isle unto myself I had a heart I hadn't felt Why would it hurt me? Or was it real? It was the day I had to part I was afraid to miss my heart What did it matter? Why did it matter? Or would I feel? Blind a shining star We won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known I was a victim of magic Apollo Catching my breath as I bled on the ground Somebody called me to follow I followed Thinking aloud without hearing the sound (Why) When all the planets fall to dust Lonely departing after us Gone not forgotten Long but forgotten In every element of life Love camouflages under strife Or other matters Not only matter Let there be more Blind a shining star We won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known Maybe we'll tango tomorrow The sorrow Sweeping us off as our mother replies Suddenly everything flowing Like water Clearer than all we can see with our eyes (Why) Why do travelling tumbleweeds arrive? Why do murderous animals survive? Why do I deserve to be revived? Why are any or all of us alive?
