Black Swan

from Human by Isgaard

/

about

The topic of BLACK SWAN is otherness, presented from an affected person’s point of view who isn’t aware that he’s different at first and goes out into the world with an open mind. Painful experiences like being misunderstood or even unwanted lead him to only having one last demand to the society: Just leave me alone!

lyrics

Sailing down the river, boats are passing by
I'm watching sailors and commanders on their way
With no home to stay

They
Don't see me
Don't hear me
And all those
Rigid heads don't move as I am sailing by
And my friendly salutations disappear
So I am looking down and try to hide my face
I want to chase my feelings – back to private spheres!
I don't waste a tear

Troubling doubts come up as I'm moving on
A voice inside my head keeps saying „get you gone“
I remember people calling me black swan
to lead me astray

Don't hate me
Don't love me
Just let me

Take the stony path to climb a mountain high
To have a look at what's there on the other side
To find this kind of place that is well concealed
Buried under junk and dust to be revealed
Can't swim with the tide

Amidst a mass of faces that all look all the same
I'm feeling like a stranger who's outside the game
I remember people calling me black swan
But I don't go astray

Don't see me
Don't hear me
Don't love me
Don't hate me
Just let me
Go

Between awake and sleep, in the dead of night
I was surrounded by black water
White swans with their wings spread wide
Came quickly close then closer

They're circling me with rising speed
No way to move I'm sinking deep
The ground beneath my feet
Shakes me out of sleep

Flee from the waters
Cause the tide is rising high
Flee from the waters
Cause the waves will touch the sky
