Luminous Songtext
von High Fiction

Did you ever awaken

In a world with new rules
With conflicts you could never resolve
With your usual tools?
Did you ever awaken
In a skin vague with sweat
You tell yourself you can′t stand smoke
Then light a cigarette
You trace the blue cloud
As it draws toward the ceiling
And lie there feeling

Somehow luminous


Do you faintly remember
Some night in some scene
A phone call out of nowhere
Pleading for a reason
Though you never questioned
Why that call came so late
Who was lying through their teeth
Who was lying in wait
The phone stays silent
Like the wood of a table

Making you able to feel

Luminous

Palm on your forehead
Cool to the touch
Well you took what you could
But it wasn't that much
Someone′s come sudden
Tap on the shoulder
Time frozen in time
And still getting colder

Have you finally forgotten
When your plans were afloat
You stood to face the turbulence
With your heart in your throat
Is it time to acknowledge
That the wine's turned to blood
Your life's become some coastal town
In the wake of the flood


But you lift your guitar
And as you finger the strings
A voice politely sings
Sounding luminous
Sounding luminous
Sounding luminous
