about

Parents should never outlive their children, but unfortunately the choice is not up to us. A daughter tries to soothe her mother's pain in this one-way conversation reminiscent of the peaceful demise of Andersen's little mermaid.

lyrics

There is only one way out
It’s where you don't want to go
Or do you?
Cling to all that’s left
And after all you’re longing for a place
That’s yours already

Like a womb, but underground
There’s no resting on a cloud

(Like a womb, but underground)

Knowledge comes for those who can wait

Mother, don't you cry
It is not a place for grief
And I’m finally feeling free

(Like a womb, but underground)

There is only one salvation
And it’s calling from within
Is there shelter from the cold
Restraining you?
It takes your breath away

Knowledge comes for those who suffer

Mother, don't you cry
It is not a place for grief
And I’m finally feeling free

“She lifted her glorified eyes toward the sun and, for the first time, felt them filling with tears.
Sorrowfully they gazed at the pearly foam, as if they knew she had thrown herself into the waves.”

It consumes you
It’s calling you
Lift your eyes towards the sun
Now you know the time has come
Can’t you see?

Mother, don't you cry
It is not a place for grief
It’s my time to spread my wings and fly
‘Cause I need to go, don’t hold me back
You can recognize the end
When there’s no more time to tell
