Fading

from Evyn by Reason To Care

lyrics

I am envious of the cottages being embedded in Mother Nature’s arms. Even their rooftops are sheltered by her hands and nearby the seashore, as an always-faithful friend. It feels like being caught in a fairy tale. A delightful holiday seems to revive the townlet. The school bells didn’t even ring today and children’s eyes beam with joy. Once met, happiness floods every single corner of ones own little universe – and being in a state of weightlessness, I am out of reach for my doubts. Suddenly engine noises announce the arrival and everyone is heading for the seaside – even faster than before – creating an undertow. I am not able to escape. I am trying to cut my way through the villagers pushing them to the left and to the right – just aside. Grass turns sand, we’re leaving land and the ocean kindly embraces my feet. All of a sudden the world turns upside down. My feet are losing solid ground. I bid them welcome with a tear. My heartbeat’s losing cheerful sound. Their green mile is ending here. Merciless eyes are watching merciless hooks and knives, driven by merciless hands, turning off lights. The choir is losing voice after voice and the ballad is losing steam. It took them a heartbeat to paint the bay in red. My head swims while the crimson wanders away into the distance swallowing the blue. Ropes drag the mute giants onshore – treated as soulless goods. Trophies of an annual ritual – a murder – a murder they call tradition. I can sense every single beat fading away and it makes me kind of fading away as well. What stays – empty shells and emptiness. Could somebody tell me, who is going to sing the songs of the deep blue sea hereafter? Dear daughters, mothers, sons and fathers: “They are one of a kind. Like every you and me.”
