WITHIN THE ALBUM

The departure does not have to be perfect.

In the fiction of Burst of Life, Bumpy Road is the map unfolded on the dashboard. From childhood memories to the desire to leave, the titles trace a road traveled with hesitation. Plastic Dinosaurs and Paper Airplane Dreams place small things beside big dreams.

The journey then opens onto Wildflower Road, Mountain Song, and Passport Dreams. This editorial route connects the stages without imposing a plot on the lyrics: listeners can find their own departures, detours, and places they would like to return to.

Begin with the first track to follow the album’s order; Paper Airplane Dreams also offers an immediate way into its world.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

They came in the night with their weightless boots
Stealing the pull from the earth below
Now the rain is falling upward
And the rivers have nowhere to go
My coffee floats above the table
While i'm suspended in mid-air
The gravity thieves took everything
But left me floating in despair

We used to be grounded, solid, real
Now we're all just learning how to fly
Against our will

The gravity thieves, they took it all away
Now we're floating in the wreckage of yesterday
What goes up never comes down
Since the gravity thieves came to town
Gravity thieves, gravity thieves
Dancing on the ceiling of our beliefs
When the world turns upside down
You find out who will stick around

The astronauts are jealous of our freedom
While we're choking on the atmosphere
Every step's a leap into the unknown
And falling up is all we fear
The birds are walking on the ground now
Looking up at us with envy
We're all accidental acrobats
In this circus of emergency

We used to complain about the weight
Of our troubles and our pain
Now we'd give anything to feel
That burden once again

The gravity thieves, they took it all away
Now we're floating in the wreckage of yesterday
What goes up never comes down
Since the gravity thieves came to town
Gravity thieves, gravity thieves
Dancing on the ceiling of our beliefs
When the world turns upside down
You find out who will stick around

But in the chaos of the weightless world
I found something i never knew
That when there's nothing holding you down
You can choose what to hold on to

So I'm reaching for your hand
In this zero-gravity land
If we're gonna float forever
We might as well float together
The gravity thieves thought they'd break us
But they gave us something more
The chance to redefine what falling means
And what we're really falling for

The gravity thieves, they took it all away
But we're dancing in the wreckage of yesterday
What goes up might just stay up
Since the gravity thieves came to town
Gravity thieves, gravity thieves
We're rewriting all our beliefs
When the world turns upside down
That's when love can be found
