An Embracing Space (Part II)

Today's tune comes from that same band that seem to have disappeared totally. Regicide offer the second half of "An Embracing Space" again alternating between the Bass and Soprano singers.

While this part plays on immediately from the first part the piano interlude gives it a sudden brighter feel. The first half has the feel of being trapped, what ever the reason, while this part is all about getting out. Reaching outside of that which confines you.

What I really love about this piece of music is the combination of the vocalists carrying the theme of multiple personalities the one is basically questioning the other while the other is pleading their case. A classic case of being in two minds.

Entwined by fear I stand alone dwarfed to walk
Precariousness suffuses my soul
(just feel how it embraces you)
She leads but she is certainly not omniscient
This incandescent path allures but I...
...I just don't want to loose myself...

You will be released! Come, take my hand! Let your heart lead you!
You must have no fear; just see: There is a light above
You are asleep and I am here to recover your consciousness
I am sure that this will be
The freeing of this daydream

There is the light!
There is the outside!
There lays my soul!
There is the solution

There is the light!
There is the outside!
There lays my soul!
Is this freedom?

I meander through this confusing path within myself
But I was relieved as I saw you
As a mirror maze
Now I know why we can't break out of
This embracing space
We have to discard all anger and fear
To yoke our souls

There is the light!
There is the outside!
There lays my soul!
There is the solution

There is the light!
There is the outside!
There lays my soul!
Is this freedom?

We're at the destination
We will be free again
We will reach each other
And end this schizophrenia

Will I ever get out of this embracing space I'm in?
Will you ever get out of this embracing space?
//Will we ever get out of this embracing space?//

There is the light!
There is the outside!
There lays my soul!
There is the solution

There is the light!
There is the outside!
There lays my soul!
Is this freedom?


Reach for the light, break out or you'll be left wondering what ever really happened to your soul.
