Superb song and very beautiful interpretation 👏👏!!

Lyrics:

Axis of symmetry dividing what’s the same
Coincidentally both sides are what’s to blame
And if you find you can’t make heads or tails of
Just flip the coin and see it’s all of the above  

Don’t ask me what it is that makes us susceptible
To the divisive plan, we are so gullible
More money, more people, but nothing’s ever done
We’ve hit a critical point, now tell me who has won

Perpetual disease is human ignorance
Don’t dare step out of line, they’ve got your finger prints
Hatred of your neighbour will keep you all in line
Distraction from the truth will be our suicide

Pointlessly hating your fellow man out of pride
Instead realize that they could be on your side
The real enemy will be brought to their knee
Only if we can get past what we disagree

Playing both sides of it was their plan from day one
What’s happened in the past is only what’s to come
I get the feeling that it’s already too late
Broken apart and directionless is our fate   

Hate and blame your neighbour because of the hat he wears
Pretend he’s your enemy, see how well it fairs
In time they’ll have you fight a pointless civil war
It’s only ever meant to keep you dumb and poor

Civil unrest is just the symptom, not the source
They’re more than happy to let anger take it’s course
Hatred for thy brother and thy sister burns inside
Safely tucked away, the real culprit sits and hides

Axis Of Symmetry

A neoclassical testament to the value of retreat,
where silence gives birth to the most profound expressions,
contrapuncting the noise of our world.

This is the 2nd movement of my Symphony "Alive!".

Composed in the silence, solitude and fears of the Pandemic Lockdown.

Sigh of Retreat

Future V: Occasionally Inapplicable

Dear friends, the conditions for lots of people have become worse for every minute.
Warlords are increasingly sending rockets and robots at innocent people! The warlords must have gone completely, utterly insane! I cannot understand that they take the right to kill other people!
In addition to this, the acts of war lead to enormous emissions of greenhouse gases, which worsens the catastrophic climate situation that prevails right now! People must escape from weather disasters and bombs!


Lyrics in English

Hopeful Memories

They have left their home for a while
they miss everything nice that they had
not least all the flowers
which they cultivated together during all the years they were together
and they think back and they remember their beautiful children

They have been walking for many weeks in the rain
and they don't have rain gear with them
and all the water it flows down
along the back and further down to nobler parts
and they shed a tear and they miss their beautiful children

One might wonder why they have to flee
they haven't hurt any fly yet
there has been a lot of storm and rain
and they cannot remain in their home down by the edge of the sea
and they don't know where their children have gone now

There are many places on our earth
where the people have to leave their home
it may be due to weather and wind
but in some places there are those who shoot with cannons
and then they have to flee - and then they want to take all the children with them

Lyrics in Swedish

Hoppfulla Minnen

De har lämnat sitt hem för ett tag
de saknar allt fint som de haft
inte minst alla blommorna
som de odlat tillsammans under alla de år som de haft ihop
och de tänker tillbaks och de minns sina fina barn

De har vandrat många veckor i regn
och de har inga regnkläder med
och allt vattnet det rinner ned
längs med ryggen och vidare ner till ädlare delar
och de släpper en tår och de saknar sina fina barn

Man kan undra varför de måste fly
de har inte gjort nån fluga förnär
det har varit mycket storm och regn
och de kan inte bo kvar i sitt hem där nere vid havets rand
och de vet inte var deras barn har tagit vägen nu

Det finns väldigt många platser på vår jord
där folket måste lämna sitt hem
det kan vara på grund av väder och vind
men på vissa ställen det finns dom som skjuter med kanoner
och då måste dom fly - och då vill dom få alla barnen med

Souvenirs pleins d'espoir

Ils ont quitté leur domicile depuis un moment
tout ce qu'ils avaient de bien leur manque
surtout toutes les fleurs
qu'ils ont cultivé ensemble pendant toutes les années où ils étaient ensemble
et ils repensent et ils se souviennent de leurs beaux enfants

Ils marchent depuis plusieurs semaines sous la pluie
et ils n'ont pas de vêtements de pluie avec eux
et toute l'eau qui coule
le long du dos et plus bas vers les parties les plus nobles
et ils ont versé une larme et leurs beaux enfants leur manquent

On pourrait se demander pourquoi ils doivent fuir
ils n'ont pas encore fait de mouche
il y a eu beaucoup de tempête et de pluie
et ils ne peuvent pas rester dans leur maison au bord de la mer
et ils ne savent pas où sont allés leurs enfants maintenant

Il existe de nombreux endroits sur notre terre
où les gens doivent quitter leur maison
cela peut être dû à la météo et au vent
mais dans certains endroits il y a ceux qui tirent avec des canons
et puis ils doivent fuir - et ensuite ils veulent emmener tous les enfants avec eux

la charrière profonde est un grand chemin creux, bordé de feuillus qui forment des arches pour abriter les rêves au pas du promeneur

en marchant dans la charrière profonde

Lyrics

The strangest people be,
Who understands another really?
Love
The ghosts
The quests
The crimes
Admit it when your out of line

But their lines are oh so grey to me
I suppose the black and white does move to resave
The ivories are free
And their niche gets tinkling making life less mean
More meaning
Do be silence!
Woo me with silence

Killing with Isis lies?
An ideal aint worth even one life!
Groomed,
Your institutionalised
There’s no zeal
Jah Jihad strife.

Just get out!

The strangest strange
Strays' stream
Rivers of rose
Flowered water
Wise beam'





Notes
In this song I am thinking about the extreme elements of humanity and how they become that. It's usually the most vulnerable and the weakest of weak humans being manipulated to be that which is sad.
When a person is weak and vulnerable it seems easy to feed their hunger for meaning with lies about the world and their reality
