[Laika]: 661.Contest Entries.Concerti.April 07 - Relationships

Of bonds and breaking

1st movement - Woumb

and you never could imagine
how empty the normal stage can feel

at night a tiny heart beats in your head
it's an echo
tired and fading


2nd movement - Why I speak so low

eskimos have dozens of words for white
I have only one for you
and that needs to be whispered silently like the end
or good night
or death


3rd movement - Barabbas

this is my only hope

carve a cross from a branch the sun hits first
nail your wrists onto it

Explanations: This set focuses on the dark side, endings and such. I also tried to keep it short, this time.
1st movement - broken relationship of a mother and a child who never lived
2nd movement - the longing after a relationship gone, the moment when you know you can only give up
3rd movement - sacrificing yourself for someone else makes a strong bond
