Drift Songtext
von Nailed to Obscurity

Revealing my true self would make me vulnerable
I keep hiding behind this mask

Not anybody can see my facial features
Not anybody can read my lips
Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious lips
The attack from outside won′t ever strike me

Nonrelevant intrinsic values
Collapsing breaker on the sease of wrath

Not anybody can see beneath the surface
Not anybody can read my soul
Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious lips
The attack from outside won't ever hurt me


Winds of throes - Inwardly streaming
Severe tempest behind my opaque mask

A lonely spot for a solitary man
I avoid bad company
Guarding my inner sanctum jealous
If I have to stay alone - I stand this loneliness

Feelings, emotions, thoughts, departed events
Shrouding them, bury them
Deep inside I feel the tears I can′t cry
Like toxic waste that won't go away

My mask, my guardian, my protection, my plague
Always staying at my sight
Guarding my inner sactum jeulously
Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious cover
