There ain't nothing we can say
To ease this pain
Come on, come on over
Come over to me
Lay down beside me
Come on stay
There will be another day

There is no place for one like you
No time or home to settle down
We turn to whiskey to withdraw
To where our sorrows may be drowned

There ain't no life we haven't lived
No way or path we haven't traced
If there was something left to give
Then I don't know why we've got this far
To find this empty space




Is there still nothing we can say?
To ease our pain
Let's be together for another day
If this is all that's left to gain

Another Day

Cyrill Lim - Another Day

Hyper Duo are a Swiss duo of synth and drum kit (Gilles Grimaitre and Julien Mégroz) specialising in contemporary music.I had the chance to contribute one out of five remixes of an original piece (Heimat II) written for the duo by Wolfgang Heiniger.

Heimat II Remix (Cyrill Lim)

Devoured
By the moment
Time slips away
mmmmmm

And all those
Around her
The diffident
And the feeble ones

Surrender
And go out there
Where we'll take them in
Take them in

Take my outstretched hand
Please don't run
Don't let me down
The waves, the surf, the sea
Will always be
Will always be

Above all
Calm and noble...
She rests her head
mmmmmm

All the voices
That surround her
Slowly fade away
Fade away

Withdraw
Into seclusion
Where we'll take them in
Take them in

Take my outstretched hand
Please don't run
Don't let me down
The waves, the surf, the sea
Will always be
Will always be
Love will lift you home
Don't look down
You're not alone

A stranger
But free
A reminiscence
Of the sea

The deep blue
Of an ocean
A reflection of
What we will be

The waves, the surf, the sea
Will always be
Will always be
Love will lift you home
Don't look down
You're not alone
Love will let you go
The love you knew
Long ago
The waves, the surf, the sea
Will always be
Will always be

Cyrill Lim - Album Snippets

For Urban, Lea & Hendrik


Free now your mind
Overcome your worries
Like early explorers
Fair winds on your journeys

Rest assured that behind you
Lies a safe haven
But there's no need to
Turn around and give in 'cause

Wherever you go
Know that I will follow
Whenever you go
Now or tomorrow
Wherever you go
Know you can hold on to me

Weather can't rain
On our dreams
We built a shelter
Based on trust and truth

We're not tethered
To the ground
From here on forever
We shall be unbound

'cause I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down

Featherless wings
Autumn's forgotten
See what spring brings
Garlands of blossoms

Set foot on this gentle ground
Now we are at home
This is what we have found
Nevermore alone ‘cause

Wherever you go
Know that I will follow
Whenever you go
Now or tomorrow
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
Know you can hold on to me

'cause I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down

Never Let You Down

Cyrill Lim – Never Let You Down

Inspired by the work of Yves Klein


Facing this subtle plane of vastness
Compared to one flare
Vanishing autumn suns
Do not count out here

A thousand crowded streets awaiting
For my soft heels to strike
No opening to cut through
I just wait in spite

What if I just stood apart
And let them all pass by
Would I be left behind
A voiceless Good-Bye?

Drifting steadily facing backwards
My ears are beneath
The soothing ocean’s surface (waves)
But still I can breath

Softly linen sleeping landscapes
Retrieve me at last
While the timbre line below us
Belongs to the past

Foggy silhouette of a hilltop
Trees are barely showing through
In the distance between you and me
A curly plane of naval blue

Until at last a sense of sunlight
Seems to appear
Rising up through the mist
Slightly changing its hue

What if I just stood aside
And let it all pass by?
Would I be left behind?
A memory in time?

Never Let You Down (HOLM Remix)

If you want to bring it down to a common denominator it would be music. The diverse activities of Swiss sound artist Cyrill Lim range from installations in gallery spaces, art and music performances to compositions in the contemporary and experimental music scene, live recordings of classical music or studio pop productions and songwriting.

The latter – being more of a hobby – gained more center stage after the release of his first album "" (untitled, erdkugel recordings 2015), which is physically only available as vinyl. Since digital distribution systems do not allow an untitled work, the album was published digitally in form of two EPs (side A and side B of the vinyl) with the titles "☼" and "☃" .

New releases followed in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 including collaborations with Serbian singer and author Ana Avramov and a remix for the track Heimat (2022, October House Records), recorded by experimental music duo Hyper Duo.

His latest series of songs always consists of pairs. They have the same colour in their artwork and complement each other but are also connected to the last and next pair of songs.

The latest release, Arise (2023, CLS records), the second of the second pair of songs, was just released on July 15th.

Cyrill's songs are best described as melancholic, soft and gentle sounds and melodies that tell of longing and the desire for solitude, usually garnished with a pinch of hope.
