Sphairistike Songtext
von Eli Gumble

Best of 5, we′ll make it quick unless it's our last
Making a racket as we move across the hourglass
Dispositions fell and rose like a mood swing

Love is nothing ′cause it's all that we start with
15 and 30 passed me by, I was bombarded
Evolution isn't always a good thing

I was a dragon back when it was still my turn
I lost control, time took my legs, now I′m a wyvern
Remaining static wasn′t good, it got me hoodwinked

So to the stories I was told I can now empathise
'Cause I was told that I was special, now I′m specialised
Evolution isn't always good thing

1, 2, 3, (4, 5, 6) 7, 8, 9 (10, 11, 12)
That repeats and that′s what we call time
And we discover that there's not that much of it
So we try our best to stop it
Getting away


Do I call you "vous" or are we still on "tu" terms?
Madame President, we can′t be trading rude words
Think of the international scandal that this could bring

Because I know that you've been known to underrate me
And floccinaucinihilipilificate me
But maybe one day you might say we've got a good thing

(It starts) 10, (9, 8) 7, 6, 5
(4, 3, 2) 1, it ends and that′s what we call life
And we discover that there′s not that much of it
So we try our best to stop it
Getting away

And we discover that there's not that much of it
So we try our best to stop it
(Getting away) And we discover that there′s not that much of it
So we try our best to stop it
(Getting away) And we discover that there's not that much of it
So we try our best to stop it
(Getting away) And we discover that there′s not that much of it
So we try our best to stop it
Getting away


The cycle cycles round on smooth or bumpy ground
And though the wheels may shake, we keep on moving
And if we double fault, we lock it in the vault
To learn from our mistakes and keep improving

And if we fall apart, we'll find a place to start
Again so we can make our evolutions
It may be undefined, but if we underline
Our hopes then we could find a resolution

It′s true that you forget the things that you collect
So much that you don't realise you're unrivalled
So they won′t overlook you when they close the book
Or when they save the changes to Untitled

And if we fall apart, we′ll find a place to start
Again so we can make our evolutions
It may be undefined, but if we underline
Our hopes then we could find a resolution

And if you took the longest time, at least you crossed the finish line
And no one can take that from you
And if you don't quite fit the structure that′s been laid out, well, it fluctuates
And that's no problem, you′ll still make it through

So when the cycle cycles, it is quite alright to
Think your situation's very sticky
But I′ve been here before, this territory's explored
And I know you'll get through this very quickly
