やや意訳なんですけど訳詞を付けておきます。

夜空を見上げると、いつも思うんだ
あの星の向こうには何があるのかと
あの時の感覚は、今と変わらない
君の瞳を見つめるこの瞬間と

君が僕を見つめるとき
愛と光と君が僕のために創った世界が見える
君の心の奥で
I'm Wondering Again 
（僕はまた感じる。あの星を見つめつ時の感覚を）

僕はよく海辺を歩く
潮にさらわれるように
その音楽は、あの瞬間を思い出させる
初めて君の魂に触れた時を

開かれた空へ！
海に　風に　叫び　願う
僕らが分かち合う愛が夜明けと共に帰ってきますように
I'm Wondering Again 
（僕はまた思いを巡らすんだ）

未来は自分に何をもたらすのか？
その謎に僕は惹かれてる
それは自然なこと
知りたい　君はどこにいる？
僕の心の奥深くにも君がいる
I'm Wondering Again 
（心は不思議な喜びと驚きに再考を繰り返す）

Wondering Again

"Tommy Zygote, a veteran of the Australian thrashing zombies music scene, delivers a new track, "Angel Merry-Go-Round," that transcends mere rock music.  It's a sonic tapestry woven from the threads of time travel, bass-driven stoner bass tech rock, and introspective lyricism.  The song's narrative, hinted at in the lyrics, paints a vivid picture of a musician navigating life's uncertainties and the mysteries of other dimensions, all while pushing the boundaries of bass technology.The lyrical theme centers around a struggle with health and wellbeing, highlighting the vulnerability often hidden beneath a musician's outward persona.  The opening lines, "When I look after myself, everything is going well," set the stage for a reflection on the fragility of health and the profound impact a personal crisis can have.  This vulnerability is juxtaposed with the tommy's signature sound, a raw, powerful bass driven rock sound.The chorus, "Angel merry-go-round once again. Take those pills, take those drills, and listen to what she said," hints at a desperate search for solutions, perhaps a fight against illness, but also a contemplation of the choices made along the way.  The seemingly paradoxical image of "drills" suggests a physical and potentially painful process of healing, contrasted with the more gentle yet forceful "pills."  This dichotomy is further amplified by references to "what she said," implying a relationship with a person who might be providing support or even offering conflicting advice.Tommy Zygote, beyond being a band member, is depicted as a time traveler, traversing the realms and dimensions.  This concept imbues the music with an otherworldly quality.  His bass-playing, described as "pioneering" in the innovative stoner bass tech rock genre, is paramount. The 'funckolator' and 'maton mini' might reference specific bass equipment, highlighting Zygote's innovative use of technology to explore these alternative realities, not just explore sound, but to document them - perhaps with his journals. The mention of him traveling through other realms and recording his experiences with his guitar exemplifies a unique artistic expression.The track, "Angel Merry-Go-Round," is more than just a song; it's a journey. It's a journey into the depths of personal struggle, a search for answers, and a celebration of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The musicality captures these sentiments perfectly with its stoner rock foundations. The lyrics, raw and honest, reveal the songwriter's soul, while the inclusion of a time travel theme invites the listener to interpret the sonic panorama in a broader context.The "Thrashing Zombies" band, with their 30 years of experience recording in Australia, have built a strong foundation for this unique sound. Their stoner rock influences provide a foundation of powerful riffs and hypnotic grooves, anchoring the song while allowing Tommy Zygote's innovative bass lines to soar. It's a testament to the band's commitment and progression over the years,  a collaboration between a veteran band and the innovative spirit of their member.The song's emotional core lies in the contrast between Tommy's struggles and the band's powerful sound. This juxtaposition creates a heightened sense of vulnerability and resilience.   The interplay of personal struggles reflected in the lyrics with the band and the innovative bass playing creates a captivating listening experience, inviting listeners on a subjective journey of introspection. "Angel Merry-Go-Round" is not just a rock track; it's a sonic exploration of the human condition." First track of new introspective album "Emotion State"

SUN IS LOW
-------------
Wind cries lonely 
across the snow
Sky is frozen,
sun is low
Ice cold dust dry as sand,
whip the ground upon this land

Never day, never night
All that I see... turn to white

Freezing,
time move slow,
back to fence.
I'll go where the white doves go

Winter,
please hide my way.
Cross the plain,
the hills and far away


Wolves that gathered,
have watched each move
Teeth are showing,
tails held low.
Hungry eyes with patience view,
In this domain their reign is true

Infinite march, likely in vain
Tracks cross the plain... turns to a chain

Freezing,
time move slow,
back to fence.
I'll go where the white doves go
where they go
in the night
they take flight
soaring to sky
so high and free
just like me
Always heading for their home
just like me

Sun is low

In Circles

Ten to one and due at one
Impossible to be to work on time, impossible
Assimilation is what I’m going for
Appreciation is all I’m asking, not disregard

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Boss is busy running ‘round in circles chasing 
After something we call adoration, amazing
Sneaking ‘round the back way 
Trying not to get noticed
Ten minutes late again, shoot, not again

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Oh, can’t see myself
Worried ‘bout tomorrow

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Oh, can’t see myself
Worried ‘bout tomorrow

Find myself up in the break room eating candy bars
Watching T.V., nothing getting done
End of my day I’m asked to stay
Finish pile of work that never stop piling up
No, I’m gone
