Ryuichi Sakamoto

Thatness And Thereness

Ryuichi Sakamoto


Slow-motion repeat of breaking glass
Fear Creeping up from behind
A slide into corruption
A train of thought stops all along the way
From start to goal
Easy to understand
Thatness, thereness
A grid of time in view

Deep blue metal
Undulating, rise and fall
We're hiding ourselves
Don't want to see ourselves
But still desire persists
For self-injury, through exposure
To reality
Thatness, thereness
A deep blue rush in time.

Slow-motion repeat of breaking glass
Fear Creeping up from behind
A slide into corruption
A train of thought stops all along the way
From start to goal
Easy to understand
Thatness, thereness
A grid of time in view.
