The Still Before Songtext
von Jun OKUNO

In the flicker of the light
Shadows trace a frozen line
Breath is caught beneath the skin
Clock hands hesitate again

No sound, but the beat inside
No step, but the pull of time

Still before —the fall, the rise
Still before — the open eyes
Holding still — beneath the drive
The still before we′re set alive

City hum beneath the floor
Wires hum but nothing more
Fingers twitch against the air
Waiting, caught between nowhere


No sound, but the beat inside
No step, but the pull of time

Still before — the fall, the rise
Still before — the open eyes
Holding still — beneath the drive
The still before we're set alive

Time unfolds behind closed doors
Every breath a loaded pause
Eyes half-closed, the edge is near
We are here — still before

Still before — the fall, the rise
Still before — the open eyes
Holding still — beneath the drive
The still before we′re set alive

The still before
The still before
