Out of the water the waves are resounding clouds forming cities the walls are responding All the cells are floating shaping new forms Great walls, the skyline of Cloud Platoon Take off, be the engine, new dreams in full bloom streaming nightmares taking control
2.
dream on and feel what its like when you need someone who will please and adore you too keep the light and stay by the fire before you are lost in time or in darkness i wake up can't see no more but i can feel the change unless I see you're gone away escape once more but I feel still the same I have felt before Light me and guide me all through the night and show me how to find what I'm looking for my lovers far away from this is my journey and I miss you see the moonlight feel the rain falling keep in mind that the cause of your darkness is you I get up will leave once more and I will still believe you are at my door no more lights and no more doors and in the end I know that there is darkness Light me and guide me all through the night and show me how to find what I'm looking for my lovers far away from this is my darkness my lonely home
3.
Nocturnal howling ice cold hands try to follow blind eyes staring through the window silhouettes fading echoes of past things growing silence reveals what is comming after you close your eyes and let the ghosts come in Feel, the tension rising see what is lurking hold your breath, make a whish and you will become them cold, the light is freezing pale are the shadows now its time to confess that you are like them - ghosts stay with me I am the siren of your dreams come and feed me we are the essence of life and death leave your dreams and follow through the darkest windings of your soul Obsession rising conquer and stain the chamber memories fail to remember Exit on main street leave fast an try to find her sunset park will give the answer
4.
Take my hand and follow right into the park mark your steps below leave before it's dark Never will I forget what you have told to me: "hold your breath keep your dreams" Can't see you lost my way no more lights will guide me disconnection warning shields say "leave" dead, empty, silent screams Millions of miles i walked far from you never looking back always moved ahead Losing myself in here all alone waiting here in silence Seeking for asylum pray for redemption Mind the warnings leave the sunset park Start your journey find the holy yard stay with me endlessly use your mind try to find peace

about

In the second chapter "The Modernist" by THE BOOK OF ODDITY the journey leads our hero Oddward into a modern metropolis world, where, driven by euphoria and longing, he continues to search for answers to the very big questions of life. The journey takes him in four different scenes / songs into a dark scenario full of puzzles and in contrast to the first chapter, where Oddward stumbled from one intoxicating moment to the next, the prevailing atmosphere in "The Modernist" is, after the initial euphoria of "Lithium dreams", rather dark (Low level lights) to oppressive (In a room with ghosts) until it finally changes into a liberating spirit of optimism (Silent screams at sunset park).

"The Modernist" looks like a short, gripping science fiction movie and takes the listener into a futuristic vision of the future. The hypermodern approach of the story is also reflected in the musical orientation, which is multifaceted and comes in a more modern soundscape. Each of the four songs has its own vibe, and the compositions still go beyond any conventions.
