EARIAL - 5:45
my stomach creeps when i think of the day ahead
because the difference of now and then
is oh so sad
there's orange light in my safe room that soothes my skin
which reminds me of a place i’ll go that’s
not resembling
i feel stark naked, afraid i'll fail without lover wings
and i can't imagine that i won't cause i'm
almost crying
is this my paradox
completes us all
is this how my life talks
step by step i make a choice and in the end
it's good to be back were i was not
planned to be sent
is this my paradox
completes us all
is this how my life talks
is this my paradox
completes us all
is this how my life talks

EARIAL - THE RAIN (PAERT TWO)
my head is full of gray again
i'm doing it for you
cause the formula won't do
and i can not pretend
i have got feelings too
i will lose
what a fault
optimistic fool
find another blue
what a fault
and at last the shadow's gone
two bodies disappear
now no one interferes
with our secret world
untouchable, high up there
we will win
other ones
excentric belief
half the words will do
beamery

EARIAL - MOODSONG
what you aim for is good
that you can't sleep is rude
nine different reasons given
while watching shady contours
common sense is what i want
but the only thing i do is feel
frightened pale is true
that's what i don't want to
i listen to the braingrind noises
tunes i make, but don't like
can't take away that sound
for anyone who's listening too
in the arms of something new
total ice or firemood
right before decision making
i believe the ground was shaking
singing my song, i look
to the others that took
nine different reasons given
while watching shady contours
common sense is what i want
but the only thing i do is feel
the tremors ceased and fire took
all my moods and when i looked inside me
couldn't feel sad about this loss
'cause that feeling was just taken
all my moods gone, forgotten
what you aim for is good (nine different reasons given)
that you can't sleep is rude (while watching shady contours)
what you aim for is good (common sense is what i want, but the only thing i do is feel)
that you can't sleep is rude
all my moods gone, forgotten

EARIAL - GHOULS
all wrong
harm done
can't run
it would have been better if i could decline
these treacherous features in this head of mine
i know what to fight, but i really can't see
as something that's noble but blind triggers me
i need
to do
for whom
mistaken for right, all my reasons detained
never aware of the leeches that played
where is the mind that contains all the rules
under the pavement i hide while it's cruel
i was taught that i'd help those who fall
that i'd climb for them - every wall
crying i admitted i failed them and knew
my mistake was to cry for them all while they're ghouls
it's true
i saw
it's you
it would have been better if i could decline
these treacherous features in this head of mine
i know what to fight, but i really can't see
as something that's noble but blind triggers me (afmaken)
why can't i control which takers i give to?
is that i do more important than who i choose?
cause the healing feels bad and goes on
they force me to continue cause they think it's fun

Chords Embrace

EARIAL - CHORDS EMBRACE
to you i speak words about the things i have done
where i was today
and jokes i forgot or the prices we pay
all in one
the secrets we have reach the surface when we
get in that room and play
and somehow our words are not loud enough, so
we celebrate chord embrace
maybe it's me, but i think it's ok
to make our connection this way
i really don't know if this keeps you awake
or if this is for my own sake
so we go
on gracious flow
the same blood
through our heart
the moments we talk we both stumble along
that's why it's hard to say
that sometimes you feel like a stranger to me
except while our chords embrace
so we go
on gracious flow
the same blood
through our heart
you tell me
what i can't see
i tell you
your missing views

EARIAL - NOWHERE IS TOO FAR
i want to start all over
i want to be much older
it drops down beside me
it feels like a nightmare
everything i've ever knew
was a cold department i have never felt
have you seen a mad bull on the run
forcing the only way out it is strong
it runs out devided
but he can hide it
nowhere is too far for us
and i know we'll come to our resort as well
pennies are all fake when in your halo
tomorrow will be gone
everything you say reminds me that i owe
shouldn't that be wrong?
and a peasant gazes up the sky
wonders if the rainy clouds pass by
it drops down beside him
it feels like a nightmare
is there any comfort left
on this floating ball i hope that you can tell
pennies are all fake when in your halo
tomorrow will be gone
everything you say reminds me that i owe
shouldn't that be wrong?

A Boy Called Arcane

EARIAL - A BOY CALLED ARCANE
Arcane lives next to the thoughts he has
inside his dome of glass
like oxygene bulbs escaping water
daylight bounces the dark
his eyes looking left distrustfully
a frown never leaves his face
Arcane inside, why can't you see
i'm outside while your head's a maze
the voltures above sense you're weak and they smell decay
but i succeed to mislead them and make them go away
the glass does not pass your thoughts or sound
so i can not hear your songs
and there in the dark you lay unwound
the will to be heard is strong
i yell and i cry and i beat the glass
but silence prevails inside
i wish i could turn into gloom and then
maybe sneak in during night
before i went home i have left you a gift, which was in vain
i write on the glass what i did today, but it all fades
i think i'll just leave and run into you someday
what you believe is what i will lose, i say
Arcane lives next to the thoughts he has
inside his dome of glass

EARIAL - NOT THE NASA KIND
i step outside and all stars flash me by
each one wrapped infinite beauty tonight
but i can't see one for no longer than
a split second, for they are just too fast
i'm here on my doorstep, oh so powerless
regarding this without seeing the facts
a man's computer is not the nasa kind
every cell in my body launches a rocket
when it's quiet, my brain finally ceases
to registrate any interference
and that's when content is given the chance
to float up to the surface and in my head
a man's computer is not the nasa kind
every cell in my body launches a rocket
where color means mental fulfillment
a man's computer is not the nasa kind

My Pink Fairytale

EARIAL - MY PINK FAIRYTALE
never fall asleep
the strenght that you should keep
no farewell
you're almost done - it's true
believe in what is good
you should
a bitter smile, forgotten trust
candles lit, i hope and wait
i closed the doors, i hide i must
would you let me if i may?
the customs hated you
another thing to lose
it's ok now
reborn saturnine
awaiting valentine
not again - no
a bitter smile, forgotten trust
candles lit, i hope and wait
i closed the doors, i hide i must
would you let me if i may?
where are the dangerous delights?
to pick me up and stand me by
as far as i know far away
my tragic illness never saves
i stand alone, you see
i'm thinking quietly
take a rest
my mirror image shows
i stand still while others go
and find
a comfort look, worried mind
mental life i hope to find
the outer rings are out of reach
the only thing that bothers me
where are the dangerous delights?
to pick me up and stand me by
as far as i know far away
my tragic illness never saves

EARIAL - FIVE WEEKS
my baby's gone to china, will be long gone
my baby's on the highway, should be real strong
when she's back i'll give her yellow flowers cause i love her
i will be missing her because she's feeling
i will be kissing her when i am dreaming
when she's back i'll say hello cause i am really glad
five weeks of worries
five weeks goodbye
all around me people hug and slowly
it's coming to my mind her love still owns me
when she's back i'll give her yellow flowers cause i love her
singing this song helps to realise
my baby will be safe and warm and nice
enough money, walking shoes that shine: my baby'll have a great time
five weeks of worries
five weeks goodbye

EARIAL - EXTRAPOLATE
dead kin drifting
so young, i'm half done
i listen closely
some things - torn away
paint my music gray
quiet people whisper me rules
pictures of them make me silent
some things - torn away
paint my music gray
in me i feel your genes tingling
bathe me in you
some things - torn away
paint my music gray

Earial Zaandam, Netherlands
Steven van der Steen schrijft melodieuze luisterliedjes die uitgesproken akoestische-gitaarpartijen bevatten evenals Nederlandse teksten, die uitblinken door hun ‘schaduwrijm’: een term die Drs. P. en ex-cabaretier Kees Torn ooit gebruikten. Het resultaat is een warm bad van taal en klank, dat een ieder in het publiek uitdaagt om met eigen interpretatie mee te dromen. ... more
