lyrics

No, you can never stop what’s in these veins,
Despite what you might think you have control of….

Look at my face and know,
And look at where faith is going,
‘Coz you cannot trace my soul,
And you can now bring this on.

This box we’re pushing ourselves into,
We’ve got to break it down,
‘Coz this box won’t,
Open our eyes to all the devils inside,
This box we’re pushing ourselves into,
We’ve got to break it down,
‘Coz this box won’t,
Open our eyes to all the beauty outside.

Now, we’re gagged and bound,
So don’t make a sound,
Stay underground,
‘Coz you don’t know what we are in for.

Save,
all the innocents from one another,
Pray,
If you think it’ll make a sound,
Stay,
In your opaque dreams and sometimes wonder,
How safe is the future ground,
(From shaking under).

This box we’re pushing ourselves into,
We’ve got to break it down,
‘Coz this box won’t,
Open our eyes to all the devils inside,
This box we’re pushing ourselves into,
We’ve got to break it down,
‘Coz this box won’t,
Open our eyes to all the beauty outside.

Look at my face and know,
And look at where faith is going,
‘Coz you cannot trace my soul,
And you can now bring this on.

'Coz you know that,
You will never stop what’s in these veins,
Despite what you may think you have control of,
You will never stop what people think,
The resolution starts from when we’re bold.

about

balveda Scotland, UK

Me, Myself and I: a classic De La Soul track, and also my approach to making music in recent years. Born of necessity rather than preference since the opportunity to write, record, play, learn, is often fleeting and all too brief; Deep Field is a collection of individually conceived tracks and those (see album notes) that have been re-imagined from past collaborations. ... more
