Gordon the Whale

Lyrics (below) are half in English / Japanese inspired by a Japanese yokai (ghost) that eats nightmares along with our positive hopes and dreams if we're not careful, and our general contradictions on conscious / subconscious terrains re: carnal - self-actualising desires and needs.

Close your eyes and dive into the geist
サイの瞳の深青色
Neuron sparks, the haunting lights
ゾウの鼻で無空色
Time entwines the rust and gleam
代わりない愛を
Cerebral stars our gentle fiend
天に見合う性を

Baku, our dreams at shore
満ちた青に
A pillow-side lullaby
陽は沈み
Baku, your night in sail
満ちた月に
The tears of Susanoo
星を忘れた無の讃歌


Baku The Dream Eater

Lyrics (below) are in English / Japanese inspired by the Izayoi moon (sixteenth moon), duality, non-duality, lust and love.

See the stillness move between our eyes 
星と人の狭間 - hoshi to hito no hazama (between planet and human) 
Hear the silence ring between our lips 
全と零の狭間 - zen to zero no hazama (between all and zero) 
Knowingly unknowing, lustful sighs your pilgrim 
Heart timelessly stirring, a tantric dream 
重ねゆく - kasane yuku (coming together) 

The whitest light to blind the mind 
皓月の元に - kougetsu no moto ni (under the bright moon) 
The shadows blend on the fifteenth night 
交わる影 - majiwaru kage (crossing shadows) 

Divided by our poems 
The sun and the moon 
Together in the middle of the road 
The wolves of Tsukuyomi croon 
for Izayoi 

Feel the stillness move below the land 
星と人の狭間 - hoshi to hito no hazama 
Feel the silence ring above the skies 
全と零の狭間 - zen to zero no hazama 
Knowingly unknowing, drowsy eyes my sleepless 
Mind gently closing, a karmic dream 
離れゆく- hanare yuku (pulling apart) 

The whitest light to blind the mind 
孤月の元に - kogetsu no moto ni (under the lonely moon) 
The shadows fall on the sixteenth night 
広がる影 - hirogaru kage (spreading shadows) 

Divided by our poems 
The sun and the moon 
Shadows in the middle of the road 
The wolves of Tsukuyomi croon 
to Izayoi 

Knowingly unknowing, lust for love 
Knowingly unknowing, lust for love in my sleepless mind 

See the stillness move inside her eyes 
星と人の狭間 - hoshi to hito no hazama 
Hear the silence ring between her lips 
愛と 'I' の狭間 - ai to ai no hazama (between love and self)
