about

Visàvis is the tenth track from Galleons sophomore LP 'Metropolis'.

lyrics

Backwards and forwards, we go ‘round and ‘round
Our cyclical nature, unnaturally wound
The sun will come up and the moon will go down
Repeat and repeat until we’re in the ground
Forwards and backwards and ‘round we go ‘round
This cynical attitude floods and we drown
Need some variation and I need it now
A change of scenery away from this town
Upwards and downwards, the streets all compound
Metropolis alleys that peak and resound
Cries reverberate, words regurgitate from the media’s mouth

Let's not act so doom and gloom
Let’s address all the elephants in the room
Let’s not act so pitiful when they’re painted in pink
And look so beautiful

Like ebony and ivory, we agree to disagree
Like the ebb and flow of a strong storm coming home
Please leave me be
But with your cosmic breath, I feel you whisper so eloquently
Like a parting gift from miss eternity as she walks away

One, two, three, four

Sweetheart, look north (Look north)
We can watch the sun go down (Go down)
Broaden our horizons, then burn ‘em to the ground
For what it’s worth (What it’s worth)
We never play around (Play around)
We meant what we said
We’ll burn it to the ground

I don’t know what is real, how to think or how to feel
Am I lost in my design?
Artificial but I’m real, plastic skin but it won’t peel
Can I live a normal life?
I don’t know what’s happening
Ground is shaking under me
My blood is boiling
I don’t feel a single thing
Now I’m numb to everything
I’m evolving

Backwards and forwards, we go ‘round and ‘round
Our cyclical nature, unnaturally wound
The sun will come up and the moon will go down
Repeat and repeat until we’re in the ground
Forwards and backwards and ‘round we go ‘round
This cynical attitude floods and we drown
Need some variation and I need it now
A change of scenery away from this town

You better not act up or play the fool
‘Cus this city’s just become one big swimming pool
You’d better hold me close and never let go
Come on in, the water’s fine
Let’s just go with the flow

Do you feel in control
Dive in real slow

Sweetheart look north, we can watch the sun go down
Broaden our horizons, then burn ‘em to the ground

Sweetheart, go north (Go north)
We can watch the moon come out (Come out)
Braving new horizons will assuage all the doubt
For what it’s worth (What it’s worth)
We have burnt the city down (Burnt it down)
Now all that was lost can never be found

I don’t know what is real, how to think or how to feel
Am I lost in my design
Artificial but I’m real, plastic skin but it won’t peel
Can I live a normal life
I don’t know what’s happening
Ground is shaking under me
My blood is boiling
I don’t feel a single thing
Now I’m numb to everything
I’m evolving
