Darià Artiola - Imagination EP Lyrics

Lyrics from the Imagination EP

1) Imagination

East to west

Our heads arise

Hands held high for this surprise

It’s hard to know which way to go,

When eyes are covered, blind

Forget what it was once like to go outside

Is this a new normal?

This time it’s not my hormones

Say you’re bored, and I’m sorry, but I don’t understand you

Sounds like you need a breakthrough

No one else can save you

Here’s to letting go

Steady flows

Here’s to letting go to your imagination

North to south

While we're at home

Pause the moment

Set your tone

It’s hard to read the way you feel

When faces are concealed

Reminded by what I see and simple pleasures

Can you believe this weather?

Can it get any better?

Say you're crazy, and finally we get to talking

We're in this together

We’re in this together

Here’s to letting go

Steady flows

Here’s to letting go to your imagination

Oh, oh out in the crowd

Head in the clouds

It’s my imagination

They let us out

2) Started

Out of solid cares and what she wears

I figured there, walked up stairs

She stares at me from the balcony

I couldn’t tell if there was

If there was

Some sort of chemistry

You and me

I look back as I close the doors

Thinking there was something more

Am I screening?

And your zooming, hiding the feeling

It feels like you’re right there, but you’re not

And it feels like I remember,

But I forgot.

And you’re healing.

I’m hearing all these words

Said backwards

On repeat

At your feet

It was the last time

We shared

Such intimacy

I know, that I am, but a fair man

And a...

an awkward soul

But I don’t know any other way to roll

And I guess I’m just going to be that

Until I turn the page

To another stage, to another book

To another scroll, to another roll

Write my history

Just like you,

Just like me,

I write my history

3) Humility

I used to laugh my tears away,

We stole, but we saved,

We stole, but we saved up

I used to laugh my tears away,

But they don’t fade

I used to chase my cares away,

We stole, but we saved,

We stole, but we saved up

I used to chase my cares away,

But they don’t fade

Oh, we’ve all been there, haven’t we?

Here I am with these memories,

We stole, but we saved,

We stole, but we saved up

Here I am with these memories,

But they don’t fade

Somewhere in the clutter I can recognize

All I ever wanted was to harmonize

I’ll be there with bells on

Somewhere in the clutter I can recognize

All I ever wanted was to harmonize

I’ll be there with bells on

My friend, till the end, my friend

4) Here We Come

Here we come from nothing

I heard it’s a Big Bang

that sprang

Though it’s endless,

damn this

I’m dancing

Here we come from shadows

Long after the morrow

And

They’re still banging on

I’m still dancing to the drum

Here we’re made out of space

Mustn’t let it go to waste

Dust, stardust

We’re still dancing

Here we’re made of space dust

In this base we build our trust

Dust, stardust

We’re still dancing

Still dancing on

Shine on, stardust

On, shine on, stardust

All the while going back to stardust

I’ll see you again

In some form or another

I’ll see you again

Friends, lovers, mother

Together again

In some way or another

Together again

Friends, lovers, mother

Self-Titled Album Lyrics

Lyrics from the self-titled album

1) Feeling In Your Heart

Don’t let it get you down

You got this feeling in your heart

Let’s see where it’s leading

You got this feeling in your heart

But it just can’t be beaten

You got this feeling

Oh, you got this feeling

You got this feeling

Oh, and it just started reeling

You got this feeling in your heart

And it might be fleeting

You had this spirit from the start

Let’s hope it’s not mistreated

You got this feeling

Oh, you got this feeling

You got this feeling

And oh, it will keep on healing

Don’t let it get you down

You’ve got this feeling in your heart

And it will keep on beating

You had this feeling from the start

And it is deeply seated

You got this feeling

Oh, you got this feeling

You got this feeling

Oh, and you just have to feed it

You got this feeling

You got this feel

You got this

And it will keep on beating

2) She's Serious

Does it cheer you up

To laugh at her?

Do they turn you on

Your verbal punches?

What did you do with all her lunches?

It’s sets her off, your attitude

Do you find it cool

To be so rude?

She’s serious, mysterious

Your stale jokes no longer funny

You push her down

She bears a frown

Does it hurt your head to wear the crown?

It must be nice to be king of the dunces

And later on, she’ll find a spine

And tell you off with endless lines

She’s serious, you made her so

She flipped the script and now it’s funny

It took too long to get this far

In the name of God behind these bars

What will it take to break the glass ceiling?

In the 21st century

Still on about heaven and chastity

She’s serious, you made her so

Flipping the script and now it’s funny

Oh, I’m serious

Flipping the script and now it’s funny

Oh, I’m serious

Flipping the script and now it’s funny

Oh, I’m serious

Flipping the script and now it’s funny

Oh, I’m serious

3) Again & Again

These spots are taken

You should keep walking

Well look who’s talking

Your hands are quaking

It’s fair to say that we could find a way

To say things without such pains

Looks like we’re spinning circles again

And again and again and again

You could do better

It’s now or never

It’s never always

And always some days

It’s fair to say that we could find a way

To say things without such pains

Looks like we’re spinning circles again

And again and again and again and again

This heart’s not broken

But it’s been shaken

Watch what you’re saying

I’m no longer playing

It’s fair to say we could’ve found a way

To say things without such pains

Looks like we’re at a dead end again

and again and again and again and again

4) Sunday Spell

You may not know me very well

It’s hard to tell

This Sunday spell

And though the ground is under us

It’s liquid trust

We feel the rush

You’re a survivor

And evidence

Of how work can buy you

Some confidence

I’m here for you,

I hope I show it

It will take time,

but we can grow it

And here we are with things to share

Your love and care,

Now I’m aware

That seasons are a funny thing

One day it’s fall,

The next it’s spring

You’re a survivor

And evidence

Of how work can buy you

Some confidence

I’m here for you,

I hope I show it

It will take time,

but we can grow it

Oh this breeze sure feels nice,

It’s Summer with sun in my eyes

And you’re tending to the garden

While trimming and asking for pardons

As leaves collect on the terrace

There’s no need to feel embarrassed

5) Ghosts of Summer (Interlude)

We are ghosts

We are ghosts of Summer

We are ghosts

We are ghosts of Summer

We are ghosts

We are ghosts of Summer

We are ghosts

We are ghosts of Summer

We are ghosts

We are ghosts of Summer

6) Something

From bottom to top and back again

It’s like a never ending effin’ game

Where you offer your hand

But they just want your brain

Where you take a stand but others just blame

And it’s hard to explain an emotion

When actions speak less than the notions

And look for the omens,

Typically left by the side of the road

If you feel something

It means something

And you know, at least it’s something

From back to front how to attain?

The peace of mind needed to stay

Totally focused within your frame

And leave aside all the mundane

Is it all digits and numbers?

That roll off the tongue just like thunder

Solutions to wonder

Just take a stroll by the side of the road

If you feel something

It means something

And you know at least it’s something

And here comes something else

Are you feeling anything?

Well it could mean anything

But you know, at least there’s something.

Somehow we all are taking part in the game

It’s quite a killer when each day is a drain

That same old routine

You know what I mean?

But without repetition there’s no way to build your dream

7) Questions That Spin?

I heard they’re building a wall

Filling bricks with long lost capital

Don’t be surprised if it comes down

When it amounts to hunger and animals

The more they bark with “the cure”

Leads me to feel a bit unsure

And sure, they have answers that spin

But I didn’t ask any questions to begin

It’s rinse and repeat

Spark a fire and retreat

While calling it “a revolution”

But as it transpires

Hold ourselves to the wire

Fail to find true resolution

Somehow they’re getting away with it

And if there’s doubt, the pieces don’t fit

We’ll keep our eyes on the pitch and clap

But who’s to say it’ll be the last laugh?

This comedy could cause a bitter end

I’ll take my time and cheer you on, friend

Let’s make the most while it lasts

And leave the fighting to dogs and diplomats

It’s rinse and repeat

Spark a fire and retreat

While calling it “a revolution”

But as it transpires

Hold ourselves to the wire

Fail to find true resolution

8) Panic By the Roses

There was panic by the roses

There was panic and descent

But how can you think anything different,

When that’s all our brains have been fed

How can you think anything different when you’re violent

It’s violence that just feeds

On emotions, they’re like gasoline

They’re like gasoline they burn and they need

They need your ego to

Succumb to the very, primitive and primary, and the way that primates may think

But I’ve tried to fight, tried to fight against this very thing

It’s the very thing that we all try to hide,

The very thing that we all know

Deep inside

We’re humans, I felt it

I don’t know what death might mean,

But maybe it’s a good thing

And maybe that we’re temporary

Maybe that we’re temporary

Is the very best thing about this

The very best thing about this life

There was panic by the roses

There stood a whole load of posers

Taking pictures on their phones

Making the whole thing worse.

Drop a bomb, fuel the fires

That's all the media desires

Stop the dialogue

Spread some hate

Then we won't have to worry about another man's faith and

Maybe we are temporary.

Or maybe we're not

And maybe we're lied to

Or maybe we're not.

It's about

Communicating our deepest fears

Going within and releasing the tears.

Questions that spin tend to keep us separate

But in nature everything is connected

Again and again

You will hear our plea

Stop all this plastic and all of the greed

There's some kids we could feed

Not just for country or Queen

And maybe that we’re temporary

Maybe that we’re temporary

Is the very best thing about this

The very best thing about this life

There was panic by the roses

9) All This Plastic

Well I think that it’s time, getting old, seen enough, and I finally speak from my dome

I look all around and I’m simply appalled by the state that we’re leaving our home

Who are you, leaving the beach with all this plastic?

Why should I care? We all die, I’m aware, but it seems we are bound by some reason

I know that it’s hard, oh, life can be hard, but humility jump starts healing

Who are you, leaving the beach with all this plastic?

I’ll leave you with this, just a thought, or a wish, understanding it’s all a bit much

If we are just guests, and this life is a gift, shouldn’t we treat it as such?

Who are you, leaving the beach with all this plastic?

10) That’s OK

I still pray at night

Not to Christ

And that’s okay

When my mind’s not right

Prefer not to be in sight

And that’s okay

On the street I notice

The pain on your face

If I could, I would switch

Just to get a taste

Of your life, and smile

Then send you on your way

You would be surprised

It could brighten up your day

For every high,

There’s a low

And that’s okay

When there’s stress, hold tight

It’s just a price

And that’s how we pay

On my way I notice

The strain on your pace

If I could, I would switch

Just to feel the trace

Of your path, and smile

Then carry on my way

Much to my surprise,

You brighten up my day

Once and a while

I get down

I get down on myself

But a stranger, fellow human

or a moment, like this moment

Reminds me, and that’s okay
