1.
Born of a womb to the sound of the music. Multiplying timelines reflect in his eyes. And as the darkness turns into translucent. I'm set to begin where the little baby cried. And where's my next path Where's my next life where's my next path Where's mine... And where's my best life where's my next path Let my purpose manifest (may my best life happen) Should the rumble of your clouds Keep the stream from flowing down On your knees, your beliefs Will make your existence appear Uninvited Heal to the sound of the music And breathe the light in Rid of abuses and ruses For the smile of your eyes Leads me to the being that ships across the stars For the smile of your eyes… Healing is the sound (of the music) hearing the sound of the music (Amado Peiró)

It happened many eons ago Two specific versions of a parallel dimension of us on Earth They bump into each other’s souls In the timeline of our lives We knocked a door that seemingly was locked for us And how will we go down in history? Will a leap mean a thing? Sometimes I get recollections from… Sometimes, I get recollections In the timeline of my life You moved on with time while I lingered to watch time move And sometimes nothing feels alive for me Then I do my bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Blurry lights And sometimes you come back to play my play But I can’t help the fear you’ll go away And while we sit and wish upon the stars We learn that nothing's really taken from us (in the first place) And we will shift to a matching universe Hence the recollections (Amado Peiró)

Exits missed and new ones found Stars aligned and you are bound And all the places we have seen Make all the difference in-between Waters round, the skies sway high I watch the bodies floating by My aim is tight, target is near Would anyone please disappear? Chorus: You’re shooting for stars But they’re black like days Then you go for the planets Lost within your gaze Yeah you shoot for the stars And you’ll miss every time The planets encircle you Soaked inside your (own) rage Your life is like a satellite Receive the message - get your byte Messed up transmissions storming through your head Recycled bins & empty shells, Someone out there wants you dead Like all those voices in your head… (Ooze like desert screams) So raise up your flags Weave us a song to curse this silence Please don‘t take long The world is an oyster Waiting to drown in glory Give me your hand Together, tonight on the way down Set the Sun and auto the pilot Silent as cigar-store indians, we set match alight Chorus. (Bruno A., Vientiane, 25.02.23)

Self, do you mind To not intrude with thy illusions For I’m seeking some abundance just to come my way I’m feeling out of time disconnected in this grey Berlin yet something holds a lantern that keeps some light in my days When I drown, and I drown (In the minute when I Identify I hear an echo is singing) chorus: Hey now Breathe in all things in your surrounds do really If some get tangled in the nostrils The tide will come a-sweeping us round Into the orbit Of a molecular sun Where we’re all one Silhouettes are beaming If your chest’s tight and your heart’s not full You're not truly living Can't you see that all existence is waiting for you? (Drown x3) Head high breathe in all the beings in the now do really And if we wake any monsters The tide will come a-sweeping us all round and into the orbit of a molecular sun Where we’re all one (Amado Peiró)

Azul Deveras 04:38
Told you who you were Told you where to go Aaaah Told you who you where I don’t know where to go Aaaah I’ve never seen that blue No matter where you were Did you? Did you? I told you who you where I don’t know where to go Aaah Azul que é deveras - não como os demais O Azul que é deveras - sobre a Terra e outros quais Azul que é deveras - como tu o sentes Deveras que é mais - outras eram as gentes (Bruno A.)

Walking on You left the child abandoned for so long and now You bleed again Though you might find That all this time alone has served a mission then As it does now To me the pain Has birthed a lotus flower in this dire times To bleed again paint up this morning leave back the mourning rip at the heartstrings sail into you (Amado Peiró/ Bruno A.)
