about

"When she came to visit me, I believe it was early afternoon. I was in bed, reading the ceiling. I felt like the last survivor from a galaxy far, far away.
Venilia opened the window and invited the wind and that lapping that slowly swamped me. Unexpectedly the bed began to float and I found myself in the open sea. I closed my eyes and decided to let Vanilla’s breath guide me.

I could feel the waves breaking, the shore getting closer and closer. Then I got there, castaway and touched by the gods.
The sandy shore was hot and dazzling white. My feet sank into it and all I could do was dance. A disconnected hallucinated swaying reconnected me with every newborn creature, with all that is ancient and ancestral I had lost, with my body, my past, with my loved ones and those I missed. All became clearly illegible. Accurate in its marvelous inaccuracy. I existed, that was all. No control. Venilia would sing. I danced. " Lunar Bird

lyrics

Restlessly as if under a spell
We rush into the sea
It calls you by your ancient name
Given by no one
Yours since before
You were born

Timeless we dive
In the golden eye
Timeless we dive
In the golden eye

A gust of wind in your messy hair
Draws some salty goddess
Ancestral work of art
Released from the waves
Risking to burn
Your pale skin

Timeless we dive
In the golden eye
Timeless we dive
In the golden eye
(Shrouded in glare)

Let’s leave our clothes on the shore
No, it’s not the end
