Lyrics:

Feel our fingertips crystallize
Down the digital abyss
Bound to a prison for our eyes
A vortex of LEDs
From birth we must run this race
Agree to all terms

Now we cover half our face
To avoid all germs

We sacrificed our spirits
To watchful silicon gods
Who compute beyond our limits
Humanity's terrible odds
Yesterday I had enough
Today I'm not sure

Yesterday we had it all
Our lives were so pure

Bring me back in time
Take me through the tunnel of life
Bring me back all this colours of a long gone past
Bring me back to a simple life
Please take me back in time...

Yesterday
Is shining through rose tinted glasses
Just the bouncing
Echo as a distant wave crashes
It happened so fast.
Tell me, when did the present become the past?

Please take me back to never land
Where magic is real and heroes can fly
when all I needed was in my hands
To fly kites and find shapes to clouds in the sky
The kind of joy that money can't buy

But it is just a memory
Did it happen, was it ever real ?
I’m here in the present, captures by fear
Take me back to my dreams
Where my loved one’s are near

Is it an illusion, a dream or some paradise?
I leave my body behind for it is just a disguise
Feel surrounded by the presence of those who I have lost
I'm taken on a journey by whom I love the most

Back in time we go together
Somewhere we can all remember
In sweet everlasting peace
Innocent bliss

I did the best I could
To follow my star
To find the truth
Hidden from the start

And as I approach the night
The day leaves few regrets
I trade my youth for insights
Living a life as good as it gets

Bring me back in time
Take me through the tunnel of life
Bring me back all this colors of a long gone past
Bring me back to a simple life
Please take me back in time

Yesterday
Is shining through rose tinted glasses
Just the bouncing
Echo as a distant wave crashes
It happened so fast.
Tell me, when did the present become the past?

Beautiful song. The musicians all sound great. Super interesting band. Hadn´t heard an e-flute before and liked it a lot. Prog lives!

[spacemonkey]

If Curved Air and Gentle Giant had children, it'd be Oddleaf! Well done!

[edoardobellesi]

Cette composition est merveuillese: votre musique est poesie, emotionante, etonnante, touchante.

I missed this premiere, I'm ashamed to say! Love it! Took me a while to notice there is no guitar (at least in this song) :) I really hope to see you in the Netherlands! I'll be front-row enjoying the enchanting arrangements!
