Just The Once

Couplet 1
Penché au bord du jour
dans un souffle un détour
loin ma ville se dessine
pleine de murs et d’épines

Couplet 2
Un éclat, qui m’appelle
paysages irréels
éloge de la matière
sans retour en arrière

Refrain
Et j’ouvre, grand, grand
mes yeux sur le monde.
Je découvre, j’ouvre,
chaque minute, chaque seconde.

Et j’ouvre grand, grand
la diagonale du temps.
Je découvre, j’ouvre,
mon regard sur les gens.
Couplet 3
Sous mes pas l’inconnu
me pousse et se tend
il me plonge dans la trace
Des rêves qui m’embrassent
Couplet 4
Le vent dans la mémoire
Réveille mon territoire
Je vois dans la lumière
mon avenir en poussière

Refrain
Et j’ouvre, grand, grand
mes yeux sur le monde.
Je découvre, j’ouvre,
chaque minute, chaque seconde.

Et j’ouvre grand, grand
la diagonale du temps.
Je découvre, j’ouvre,
mon regard sur les gens.

Couplet 5
Un parfum de voyage
Souffle dans les nuages
Je frôle un horizon
Qui emplit mes poumons

Couplet 6
Un rire, une étincelle
rend mon ombre eternelle
Je suis l’inattendu
Le feu jamais vaincu

Refrain
Et j’ouvre, grand, grand
mes yeux sur le monde.
Je découvre, j’ouvre,
chaque minute, chaque seconde.

Et j’ouvre grand, grand
la diagonale du temps.
Je découvre, j’ouvre,
mon regard sur les gens.

Je m’envole sur les ailes du temps,
sur les ailes du temps...

les ailes du temps

For several years now, Faded Paper Figures has been one of the best kept secrets of indie-electronic music, delivering gorgeous melodies, complex harmonies, and pop-cultural brilliance to a small and devoted fanbase online. With the release of their third album, “The Matter,” the band’s sound has matured into something more powerful and intense.  Alternately sparse and epic, harmonic and grinding, pensive and playful, "The Matter” takes FPF beyond their electro-pop beginnings to create something even more sincere, epic, and profound.  There are moments in “The Matter” that echo the band’s previous albums “Dynamo” and “New Medium” (all the glorious synth-blips, glitched-out riffs, and heartbreaking harmonies are still there), but a new sound has clearly emerged, with breathtaking orchestral scores, thick, powerful guitars, and more energetic, concentrated synths. Like the previous two albums, the lyrics glide with effortless sophistication through references both ironic and obscure. But there are passages here more intense, immediate, and playful.  One moment “The Matter” conjures up images of traffic lights and factories, the next, soaring questions on the vast distances between galaxies--and always the intimate, vivid possibilities of love and pain.  Given how powerfully “The Matter” astonishes with its daring energies and thoughtful lyrics, this electro-pop secret is going to be hard to contain in the months ahead.
