TAPROBAN
Outside Nowhere


1) EvapZis

2) IMMERSION


The back to the sky or the back to the sea
It’s the same colour I should not see, but I do
Open hands that open wide freely
Caressing water and air
Divided in half but united to the elements
I should not breathe but I am oxygen
I float alone and happy
I believe it is a farewell

Don’t worry about me
You knew that mine was a one way ticket
You knew that mine was a journey too deep

Don’t worry about me
Down there I will find new friends
Don’t worry about me there is so much light

Transpàrence, fluorèscence
Too much even for me
A range of colours
My eyes can’t translate
They melt and they re-form
Hot and cold, black and blue
They form a ghostly sight
Crumbled in a moment
From infinity

Straight and suspended I let myself go
Snorting horses, rumble of hooves
Dust of white foam rises
At the passing of the cavalry
Of the inner blue
Which is the most savage colt of them all
It’s you, rough and nervous
For your whinnies
That give off music
I let you go towards your posidonian fields

3) CARONTE'S SHIP IMPONDERABILITY

4) RIDING IN POSIDONIAN FIELDS

I still dream, of posidonian fields
Clear blue leafage, softly mantled
That clear lighted day, I was standing beside Neptune
And all was perfect, in its stillness
When I saw you coming, I changed my colour
Your golden crown was swelling
A few seconds of stillness, facing each other
I entwined my tail with yours, your belly against mine
We danced for a long time into deep
I remember your eyes and the lives you gave me
I see your gifts that were in me for so long
They take the same road as you, I would like to invoke my ancestors
That rode for so long on posidonian fields
Leave my soul to them and follow you into deep
Where it cannot go… it cannot go…

5) ENTWININGS

6) SUSPENSION

Straight and suspended, I let myself go
A world that attracts me, but can I reach it
Corals washed by the waves
Paw on the bottom
Echoes of submerged voices
Following each other
Fish are darting in whirls of silver
Giving me light
I wear purple clothing
And I prepare myself to meet you
Strange and bizarre creature
With only head and arms…

7) OCTOPUS!

Emily doesn’t trust me
If I offer her one of my eight arms
She thinks I’m big now
And I retreat from her sadistic kiss
She doesn’t trust me anymore
Now she fears the vulgar embrace
That she partially cut off
I, octopus, don’t forgive the past…

8) UNCONTROLLED DREAMS

I cannot climb out
Of the darkest abyss
I’m opening doors
Corroded by time
I grasp at that pearly dream
That I cannot reach

The race could last forever
Before me a medusa opens
I’m forced to pass under her dress

Uncontrolled dreams exhale
From the den of the unconscious
Far from the light
Pushed by the shock
Spattering in the brain

9 ) NO RETURN

I wake up in a dark place
My body slips naked
In a whirl
In the centre of the room
Sleep is a sweet refuge
For the wounds of my soul

Now I’ve understood
That I wont enter any port
I’ll turn the prow
To escape from the fog
of my subconscious
there is so much darkness

10) FAREWELL (including Rebirth)

Give back life, that gracefully lingers
And writhes
Stone are the limbs by now
And rivers water the thought
Ecstasy conforms to the new spirit

The soul spreads beyond the infinite
Which limits our living
May a new light accompany you
In the journey that opens the way
To the eternal mistery…
