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.

Found a plastic dinosaur in my cornflakes bowl
Tyrannosaurus breakfast, losing all control
The milkman's speaking backwards, neighbours think i'm mad
But I've discovered something that makes me rather glad
My wallpaper's peeling, revealing ancient maps
Of places that don't exist, filling in the gaps
Between reality and what we think we know
Time to start the strangest show

We're all plastic dinosaurs
Living in a world of metaphors
Synthetic bones and digital dreams
Nothing's quite the way it seems
Plastic dinosaurs, plastic dinosaurs
Dancing through the supermarket doors
Welcome to the age of make-believe
Roll up your sleeves and just... breathe

Television preacher selling bottled moonlight
Claims it cures the darkness, makes everything all right
But I've got pocket philosophers and rubber band guitars
Playing symphonies to falling stars
My reflection's arguing with the mirror again
About the price of happiness and the cost of pain
While clockwork butterflies invade my living room
Dispelling all the gloom

We're all plastic dinosaurs
Living in a world of metaphors
Synthetic bones and digital dreams
Nothing's quite the way it seems
Plastic dinosaurs, plastic dinosaurs
Dancing through the supermarket doors
Welcome to the age of make-believe
Roll up your sleeves and just... breathe

"The manual for being human
Got lost in translation
Between the factory of thoughts
And the warehouse of emotions
But maybe that's okay
Maybe we're all just improvising
This beautiful, bizarre existence"

Tomorrow's newspaper is printed on banana peels
Reporting on the weather inside of how it feels
To be alive and artificial, genuine and fake
In this wonderful mistake

We're all plastic dinosaurs
Living in a world of metaphors
Synthetic bones and digital dreams
Nothing's quite the way it seems
Plastic dinosaurs, plastic dinosaurs
Dancing through the supermarket doors
Welcome to the age of make-believe
Roll up your sleeves and just... breathe
Plastic dinosaurs
Just breathe and believe
Plastic dinosaurs
In this beautiful reprieve
