Outside the Gloom - Mindgames

Listen, let’s have a word

from a sentence that we understood

in the context we preferred.

I see that your own way

might be paved with mutual stories,

we discover day by day.

I apologize

if my pompous explanation

gets you right between the eyes

My aim is to explain

all the words we hear entangled

with our feelings that remain.

Here we are outside the gloom

Times of worlds apart

we’re still haunted by the vision

that we carried out by heart.

Past still rings a bell

And the sound of it may ring

through all the stories that we tell.

Don’t say this, don’t say that

While we read each other’s minds

on what we hide during the chat.

Meet my eyes, face to face.

Surprised we hardly said a word,

we understand in any case.

Here we are outside the gloom

Walk the streets, out in town

We can be reached for every second

Everywhere around

Some may speak, but never hear.

Prefer to talk with modern means

beyond the end of near.

Seeing 'em so close, they’re far away.

Thought you felt good in their presence

but you went astray.

Getting in touch with the world outside,

is just a dial away.

Each in our own cocoon in a world’s so wide.

Here we are outside the gloom

All around, the silence screams.

Translating my imagination,

is not as easy as it seems.

Let’s meet up, on waves ahead.

Just like the ones we used to float on,

during simple things we said.

I hear your words on higher ground

and they gain a deeper meaning

by the way they sound.

For the dream we both pursued

made us build a future

since the past is now reviewed.

Here we are outside the gloom

With all those memories

I considered it made sense

To talk to you

The things I’m living for,

my dreams, my hopes, my hidden fears.

I confide it all to you.

Whenever the past has written the wrong lines,

it makes you tell the things you don’t want to say.

Living in silence is an option,

depending on the price you’re willing to pay.

Using a sign, playing a mime,

you’re trying,

to make them understand it without avail.

Whatever you think, whatever you dream,

is distance!

Until you find a way to tell your tale.

With all those memories

I considered it made sense

To talk to you

The things I’m living for,

my dreams, my hopes, my hidden fears.

I confide it all to you.

Sense of security

When we both can share the past

To talk about

Exchanging energies

We’ll find the driving force in us,

, You and I
