I set the fire in between us It's you,it's me And I cried Take me to the edge It's too unsensible to see There's this possibility in a side Like wise...

孩童扮演大人的憧憬 成人赋予童真的羞怯 流水不知大海的冷落 对话无动于衷的冷漠 感知与恐惧不可分割 虚构指摘真实的演说 全力以赴将羽毛承托 面对不曾结识的自我 在最浓重的夜晚 预感 与担忧却迟迟不肯掉落在 伸出又退缩的双手中 叹息骤然落地 与我无关的葬礼 突然间 埋葬了我 如同夏蝉割断脐带 叶不知秋 讶异 在起风的时候晃动如铃

You are dancing in the cell You are tiptoeing on the ground Even when you close your eyes Even when you avoid the sun You sure you're alone? Aren't you feeling exposed? Even when the moonlight's on the ground You can feel the touch of many sights The chase The hide You run In day In night You are (Watched) The black face man in the tower I'm puking in the cement ward Does anyone know who that is? And I look up still he's right there with me The peeping eyes You run The naked thing You are The weightless touch You run The weakest thing You are

You are facing it on your own You need to calm down when it's around “Sometimes my arms they bent back” Two birds with one stone You are far away from here He must come back before you go Is it the future? Is it the past? The evolution of the arm You are a silent messenger You are all the time you lost “Sometimes my arms they bent back” Two birds with one stone You are all the man you are Is it projection or is it you? It's a change not an end Some fears in letting go When you see me again I’m transforming with my own shape

半个炎热的下午 微风蒸腾 泥土藏匿的愿 是谁在阁楼哭泣 夏日凝滞 融化的烈日蔓延 设想的如果 斟酌自我 争执错愕 未说出的话 不辨真与假 在记忆扭曲牵挂 会真的实现吗 应许的苦 不轻易挣扎 会真的遗忘吗 描画的家 何时放下 镜中模糊的眼 幽暗闪躲 熄灭掌握 会真的实现吗 船已渐远 桨声入河 在沉默的上方 映着晚霞 很少有人看见 人们不懂鸟的歌 正如成人 不懂孩童的固执 静默的戏剧 不合时宜 掌声响起 结局被冲散 交口称赞 热烈中无人怀疑 是否已实现了 幽冥阻隔 自说自话 是真的遗忘了 无妄的歌 已是蹉跎 夏天快要错过 光已羸弱 倒影斑驳 未降临的结果 迎向微光 漂流入河

A Full Void 06:30
Through the wall there's an hourglass You can see time pass away Footfalll echos in the memory My present in my past Can you find a way Will you find a way To point out where we are Do we move forward Do we move at all To doors are vanishing Your will will finally be away (leave me now) Although we are all from the end (in your eyes) And will we follow the path away (like flowers blooming) You'll be the rose of the myth To keep my silent sense away To be my dove and break the air
7.
像是昨日的晚宴 昼夜旋转枕边轻叹 矗立的空间 谁在雾间最后醒来 别再去看 别再去看 别时的岸 业已如烟 是否有灯火 迟迟在等低垂的脸 怎会想 夜宴犹在人不见 别再去看 别再去看 别时的岸 别离不安 别再期盼 别再去看 别时的岸 业已如烟
8.
Say to Me 04:42
Say to me Say to me Say to me Say I wanna fall Don't make me stay Like an aerolite Don't make me stay Like my core Let it break Like my life Let it fade
9.
Detach 03:51
I can't move on before I detached from myself I can believe they lead lives of quiet desperation I am exhausted hating myself You're guilty for the greatest sin of all I'm sitting here because I can't hear anything else I've waited for ages, they all come at once I am exhausted hating myself You're guilty for the greatest sin of all
10.
如果迷雾的神也是无形的 那今晚的月亮是圆的愿望 越过灯的脊背是云崖的相背 词与物相注释将我引向了你 像出生般醒来 像猫的暖箱有随形曙光 若没有了界限那界限在身旁 若没有了找寻那形体到处淌 原谅甘甜美梦迟迟不肯入场 星辰划过了圈就不必再入眠 越过了光的脊背是云崖的相背 星辰划过了圈 让晨雾边缘有一抹曙光

about

珀耳塞福涅与她的凯洛斯

夜晚与河流咏唱着地府的爱,
但在城市和白昼秩序的破坏者看来,
它们只是对于死亡的无力争辩。
——奥登《凯洛斯*和逻各斯》

*凯洛斯(kairos)意为“正确的时刻”、完成的时间“,着重指明时间的性质,在这个时间点上促使一个行为可能或不可能,因此也可译为“时机”或“契机”。

在经历逻各斯凝视下生死虚实交替的无数个黄昏后,我们随凯洛斯潜入了最浓重的夜晚。珀耳塞福涅正坐在她的椅子上,其脸庞隐匿在黑夜的面纱下难辨形容。我们不知道此刻所处的时间和地点,不知道所处在的季节,我们只能等待黑夜散去。我们可以想象,这不会是一个永夜,当光照射进来时她的神情会告诉我们一切。

上张专辑Evening Sitdown Vision概念文案的结尾处引用了博尔赫斯《永生》中的一段话,对于当时而言,“永生者”大致是指永恒轮回的黄昏下片刻之物所能象征的精神永恒。而在《珀耳塞福涅的四季》中,“永生者”便是永生的女神和永恒轮回的四季,以及两个短暂时刻所导致的永恒:

第一个时刻
就在珀耳塞福涅的手碰上花茎的时候,大地突然迸裂,冥王哈德斯乘着黑马拉的金车自地底飞奔而出。他抓住珀耳塞福涅来不及收回的手,将她掠到了车上,顷刻间又驶回了地下。
——古斯塔夫•斯威布《希腊神话》

第二个时刻
且说朱庇特这时很为难,一面是兄弟,一面是伤心的妹妹,于是他就把轮转着的一年分为两半。普洛塞庇娜(即珀耳塞福涅)就分掌天地两界:半年和母亲过,半年和丈夫在一起。立刻她的心情和面容都改变了。本来在丈夫面前是愁眉苦脸的,现在已是笑逐颜开,像是乌云遮盖的太阳,当云散以后,又露出了阳光。
——奥维德《变形记》

跟随这两个时刻,本专辑由“凯洛斯”所划分的春夏/秋冬展开,正如封面和珀耳塞福涅时间所示,专辑内曲目的反差较前作更为明显,却不简单地由情绪上的“轻”或“重”来划分,如同快乐或悲伤的时刻都可能存在别样的内核。开篇(也是开春)的《凯洛斯Part I》与上张终曲《刻意留白》达成了 “刻意地”延伸与呼应,它和《凯洛斯Part II》 也分别是乐队其中两位成员各自对“凯洛斯”最主观的阐释;随后的《Circular Ward》和《Red Room Omen》是两个相关联的房间,它们也是前文 “随凯洛斯潜入了最浓重的夜晚”其夜晚所指;入秋的《A Full Void》带着秋的怅然,但实质上所探寻的时间真相却是“无时间”的;《Say to Me》和《Detach》则像是漫长的冬夜;最后,凛冬中的绝望被日渐温暖的曙光(《词与雾》)抚平了,珀耳塞福涅的笑容马上就将再度浮现。由此,一个闭环——四季的永恒轮回形成了。
