about

lyrics

Lyrics are taken from the novel "The Waves" (1931) by Virginia Woolf.

People go on passing / they go on passing against the spires of the church // the streamers of my consciousness weaver out and are perpetually torn and distressed by their disorder // that is the mean / that is the average // I am conscious of flux / of disorder // of annihilation and despair // If this is all / this is worthless // Yet I feel too / the rhythm / eddying in and out / round and round / in and out / round and round at the right time // Where then is the break in this continuity? // What the fissure through which one sees disaster? // The circle is unbroken / the harmony complete // Here is the central rhythm / here the common mainspring // I watch it expand, contract / and then expand again // Yet I am not included // I / who desire above all things to be taken to the arms with love / am alien / external // I / who would wish to feel close over me the protective waves of the ordinary catch with the tail of my eye some far horizon // To me is addressed the plaint of the wandering and distracted spirit // You / all of you / ignore it // What the dead poet said / you have forgotten.
