kxtahpaph – the inflatable dolphin of biosphere v كلمات اغاني
a clear white dome on a scarred red face
glass and steel in the penultimate wilderness
upon this foreignest of shores
a fragile sh_ll enwraps a fragment of the world that conceived it
fourth child of the sun, as rash and primitive
as the god of sword and battle_cry that men have attributed to it
this techno_sacred circle of life
this outpost, this undefendable settlement
that man can barely grip with his fingertips
this planet of crimson powder
that my parеnts chose as home
that would devour mе
save for this brittle globe of polymer, metal
and man’s ambition
curled with my friend who only ever speaks to me
though formed from the same materials that built this place
i hear the scratch of scarlet dust that threatens to expel us from this barren host
as a too distant sun breaks over the transparency
i am told that my home, my birthright
is like a splinter of the mirror it’s grandmother
a jungle where no amazon will ever hunt
an ocean in which no mermaid will ever sing
a desert where no holy war will ever be fought
all a stride away from each other
and yet
i am lost
confused in the way only a child can be
all these workers and no queen
how can we survive?
without the mother earth that made us
we build an empty hive
but when reconciled in seas long wild i’ll take the longest dive
with the inflatable dolphin from biosphere v
all these workers and no queen
how can we survive?
without the mother earth that made us
we build an empty hive
but when reconciled in seas long wild i’ll take the longest dive
with the inflatable dolphin from biosphere v
i am the firstborn child of this red world
and they tell me calmly, trying to explain things i can not even imagine
that i may never visit my grandmother, that distant, jovial blue and green circle
my birth here weakens me
her welcoming embrace would crush me as she would spin me around
more excited than the constant attention of this silent
violent stepfather
i am an experiment, innocent, ignorant of my significance, unique
only this graven image of a mammal that lives in the sea
is as unique and significant as me
knows the safe chaos only a misplaced child would know
all these workers and no queen
how can we survive?
without the mother earth that made us
we build an empty hive
but when reconciled in seas long wild i’ll take the longest dive
with the inflatable dolphin from biosphere v
that most faint of umbilical cords, the t.v. screen
teaches me of the past and the world that rejected me
images of others long gone taught me how my dolphin would come back home alive
he would swim and talk and love others, not just me
but the pictures that haunt my ultra violet_tinged sleep
are the retrospect
the slow unfolding chapters
of the power station that cast itself to the wind
seductive dust caressing
tainting all it touched
mutations, abhorrations, sheep with legs on their backs
but, i swear i would rather have breathed of that wind and felt it’s betraying kiss
than to have ever felt any breeze in this shallow cage of life
all these workers and no queen
how can we survive?
without the mother earth that made us
we build an empty hive
but when reconciled in seas long wild i’ll take the longest dive
with the inflatable dolphin from biosphere v
but when reconciled in seas long wild i’ll take the longest dive
with the inflatable dolphin from biosphere v
