No private space
So where do we go when we need to hide
Run away
Get away from our past lives
Catch a train
Across a border in the rain
We're so far away it's clear
But still so near
But this house is where we go
When we don't want to be alone
Though the walls are closing in
They won't turn us into stone
Oh no
Behind these walls
They don't notice us at all
Different stories with harsher consequences
You make the right moves
You dance like you've got nothing left to lose
The wilderness will call you out
And quiet is the new loud
But this house is where we go
When we don't want to be alone
Though the walls are closing in
They won't turn us into stone
Oh no

This memory state
This memory shadow
We thought we had escaped
Into a new tipping point
With a humble reservoir
The energy building up for years and years
The circular is here
We have to change we won't make it last any other way
Goodbye to the linear equation
We have to change we won't make it last any other way
The wheel spins
Through fragile villages
Waiting for the weather to shift
In a race to the bottom rung
Left out in the summer sun
Bleached out disintegrating
The circular is here
We have to change we won't make it last any other way
Goodbye to the linear equation
We have to change we won't make it last any other way
We have to change we won't make it last any other way

All that was simple was false
All that was complex was unusable
Unusable
We built this construct of rock and bone
Now we hold it together
So you’re never alone
You’re never alone
We’re working on
A map of a map
Of a map of a map
Of a map of a map
This composite image
It makes no sense
So we tear up the pieces
Nothing’s ever forgotten
We’ve got the blueprints
But we forgot where they’re from
Just hang them on the wall
Now it’s one to one and we’re nearly gone
Still working on
A map of a map
Of a map of a map
Of a map of a map

Stray Signals

The beginning is still playing
You can tune in when you like
There's no ending
We're just looping
You can join in anytime
To the beginning
(Oh to the end)
To the beginning
(Oh to the end)
Watch the ants on widescreen
Zooming in
Self oscillating
On this river we're just rolling
I am the river
You are the river
We're picking up stray signals
Endless echoes
Getting closer little by little
To where we were supposed to go
Back to the beginning
(Oh to the end)
The beginning
(Oh to the end)
On this river we're just rolling
I am the river
You are the river
We're picking up stray signals
Endless echoes
Getting closer little by little
To where we were supposed to go
Back to the beginning
(Oh to the end)
The beginning
(Oh to the end)

Mes rêves se brisent
Un coup de tête
Une petite île
Et une promesse
Sur une mer qui se noircit
La clef des songes
La fin du monde
Cesse-donc de m'attendre
Donne-moi mon scaphandre
Sous la mer
Mes yeux plongent très loin dans la nuit
Tu me hantes
Les heures passées avec toi se réduisent
Et le couvercle se referme
Le futur est parfois rose
C'est toujours la même chose !
Les problèmes changent
Je tourne la page
Les grains de sable
L'océan râle
Donne-moi mon scaphandre
Sous la mer
Mes yeux plongent très loin dans la nuit
Tu me hantes
Les heures passées avec toi se réduisent
Et le couvercle se referme
Le futur est parfois rose
C'est toujours la même chose !
Cesse-donc de m'attendre
Donne-moi mon scaphandre...

Go ahead and take a look
And I’ll be waiting around the corner
They put the glasses on your face
Won’t let you wait any longer
Lead me off into the distance
Wake me up when we get there
Give me a window on the process
And just run me around and round until I find
A new device
Honestly this is the worst
And you believe the best is coming
Now little eyes are waking up
And it’s over and over and over again
Lead me off into the distance
Wake me up when we get there
Give me a window on the process
And just run me around and round until I find
A new device
