WITHIN THE ALBUM

The departure does not have to be perfect.

In the fiction of Burst of Life, Bumpy Road is the map unfolded on the dashboard. From childhood memories to the desire to leave, the titles trace a road traveled with hesitation. Plastic Dinosaurs and Paper Airplane Dreams place small things beside big dreams.

The journey then opens onto Wildflower Road, Mountain Song, and Passport Dreams. This editorial route connects the stages without imposing a plot on the lyrics: listeners can find their own departures, detours, and places they would like to return to.

Begin with the first track to follow the album’s order; Paper Airplane Dreams also offers an immediate way into its world.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

The hands are moving wrong
Yesterday is coming
Tomorrow's already gone

I woke up old this morning, went to bed a child
My wrinkles disappeared while i smiled
The mirror shows my future, the window shows my past
First will become last, last will become first

Time is a spiral, not a line
Yesterday's yours, tomorrow's mine
In the backwards clock, we're all divine

Round and round the backwards clock
Nothing stops, but everything's stopped
We're dancing in reverse
From the end to the first verse
Round and round the backwards clock

Je marche vers hier
Morgen ist schon da
时间倒流 
El futuro está detrás
My memories are prophecies
My dreams are history
In this backwards symphony
We're all living differently

In the backwards clock, we are divided
Round and round the backwards clock
Nothing stops, but everything's stopped
We're dancing in reverse
From the end to the first verse
Round and round the backwards clock

Now I understand the secret of the backwards clock
Time isn't moving forward, it's just learning how to walk
Every second is eternal, every moment is the same
We're all just playing backwards in time's peculiar game

Tick tock tick tock
The hands are moving right
Tomorrow is yesterday
Yesterday is tonight
