lyrics

It's 5:30 in the morning.
We're on the edge of a magpies' grounds and a crow's stairway.
On our right side: two beings observing manifestations between volatiles in the city of Aurora, dislocate from the urban scores. They pique my curiosity and I follow them.

A whirring stone goes by and drives us to silent distancing. Enraged dogs line up beneath the fortifications and we take shelter in the breeze that blows through the foliage. The morning train opens its drawer and lets in the shivering notes. The train is empty of public, only the street cleaner gives his attention. At least for a while and then goes back to work.

The two beings continue their route, meandering along the canals. The nation in the background is still sleeping very deeply. I am still here following them in their shadow. Their voices stream with the low-frequency floods. The magpies have joined us and poke the mic. They snatched phrases along the way: "Another time, another place", "Just like Z", "The owls are in danger in the administrative towers", ...

“Nitnininitninit…nininitnitnininitnit…quetquetquetquetquet…quetquetquet…coCocoCoIoioIoCocoIo…BRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”
A technological meme rips, copies, transforms, reprograms the sound waves from floor surfaces and lets us embrace the pavements before we leave.

Aurora awakes.
