'SOLACE' - Lyrics

SOLACE - March 2022, Peruvian Amazon near Iquitos

You are not alone 

You are not born to grow all alone 

You have not and will not have to suffer neither thrive all on your own 

Love is the whole soul in collective 

And also the very flesh and bone 

No matter the eye or the skin tone 

How could he have known that shame was etched into his very name?

The sense of worthlessness just the beginning of the end 

Idolatry, destined for tragedy

Why would you put yourself at the side of the one who does you harm?

Guilt can be a pillar built in our most formative years

There’s a part of me I eventually found 

That wonders if I deserve to even be alive 

No wonder good and healthy loving has been hard to find 

A reality of twists and madnesses at the beginnings 

But now there’s this empathy 

Destined for a new world’s currency

The future forms of love, they’re right here in our hands 

and they’re the oldest and most simple in the book.

Your love is the culmination of the human love of tens of thousands of years 

It whispers your name to you

both in your birth and your death throes 

And in every initiation in-between 

No matter the horrors which may seem to define 

The losses also

Only love can have created you

In endless moments along the line 

I’m speaking of a love 

Which is nature’s deepest code

The very DNA which forms your flesh and blood and bone 

Have you chosen to have forgotten 

Because the empty culture told you so

That the most supposedly primitive love is the most essential? 

No fat controller 

Threw away the key 

Even the most supposedly troubled humans have it as we do in we 

You are not alone 

You are not born to grow on your own 

You have not and will not have to suffer neither thrive all alone 

Love is the whole soul in collective 

And also the very flesh and bone

No matter how your mind’s eye may be blinded by your phone 

Have faith 

Have faith 

It takes strength to see the light in the dark 

It’s a choice 

My soul

Do you choose a strong faith or a socialised weakness? 

Do you choose a strong love or a cultured comfort?

No more shame 

No more shame

We are born for these joys together 

To be birthing more of these girls and boys 

Your love is the culmination of the human work of tens of thousands of years 

Get some perspective 

Love is the whole soul in collective 

And also the very flesh and bone

(More verse1 from Longer Original)

We only escape from a prison we can recognise 

I’ve been under a spell for far too long to count the fears 

The twisted mind and emotions 

That I allowed to colonise 

But now there’s these angels 

They’re called family 

That live in every one of us

The warfares of the unevolved and the unloved

Inner and outer  

Will no longer compromise me at all 

(More verse2) 

I know you’ve been working hard

Nothing is more honourable 

Your work is the culmination of the human love of tens of thousands of years 

What you do honourable shall echo on

Actions born from wisdoms shall overcome 

All that mother and father 

Those before and ever after 

Both gave and supposedly took from your love and life force
