These Curtains Call

from Alternarratives by One Dog Clapping

/

lyrics

well it looks like a river when seen from above
if you think it's a picture you're not close enough
you can look all around it without going in
but until you have been there inside then you really don't know anything

There's a signal you can't quite hear
a signal quiet but clear

it feels like a rhythm and it moves like a pulse
when you get up right close to it, it can be nothing else
as soon as you describe it, it becomes the past tense
it becomes externalised and gradually loses its sense
There's a signal you can't quite hear
a signal still yet to appear

One by one these curtains fall
on and on these curtains call

well you know what you're doing or at least what you think
or at least what you're seeing, oh come now there must be something
it can't be just an accident that really is just so
we have to accept that sometimes we bump up against that which we just cannot know

There's a signal you can't quite hear
a signal quiet but clear
There's a signal you can't quite hear
yes, the signal that won’t disappear

One by one these curtains fall
on and on these curtains call
one by one these curtains rise
on and on the veil replies
