Galactic Curiosities · 3:02 · Pop

This track is part of the catalogue. Its video will be added after publication on the label’s channel.

WITHIN THE ALBUM

The cabinet of stories that spill over.

Galactic Curiosities opens the drawers of Riva Glow’s imaginary shop. Hologram Hearts, The Dream Merchant’s Shop, and The Shadow Puppeteer give faces to objects, trades, and desires that escape everyday life. The word galactic signals boundless curiosity here rather than a scientific journey.

The thirteen tracks offer a gallery of characters, from the collector to secret societies. In the label’s story, Riva offers them a light so that their strangeness can be considered with care. Every listener remains free to make a different story of them.

The Dream Merchant’s Shop offers a doorway; Hologram Hearts opens the complete journey.

Original lyrics

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

Behind the curtain, pulling strings
Where innocence no longer sings

Marionettes with hollow eyes
Dance to his whispered lullabies
Wooden limbs that jerk and sway
To the games he loves to play
Tiny hands that can't let go
Of the master they'll never know

Cut the strings but still they move
In the darkness, what's to prove?
When the puppet masters you

He's the shadow puppeteer
Feeding on your childhood fear
Every dream becomes his stage
Every soul within his cage
Dancing to his puppet's rage

Graveyard theater after dark
Where the dead perform their part
Strings attached to beating hearts
That he slowly pulls apart

Can you hear the children cry?
From the theater in the sky?
Wooden wings that cannot fly
Under his all-seeing eye

He's the shadow puppeteer
Master of your deepest fear
Cut the strings but you can't run
When the devil's work is done

The show must go on
"Forever and anon"
