11 - Inge's Summer Dream (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

Central theme: freedom, understood not only as liberation from physical or social chains, but as a vital energy that flows in the blood and that no wall or mask can contain.
Lyrics:

Verse 1
Barefoot I wander on the burning line
Every shadow cracks, the night resigns
Hungry for 

Chorus
Freedom! A river roaring in my blood, fredom fredom fredom
Freedom! A bolt of lightning that splits the current, baby
Baby, baby, baby

Verse 2
No iron wall can contain such strength
no iron chain can bind his name
now off with the mask and off with the disguise

Chorus
Freedom! A river roaring in my blood
Freedom! A bolt of lightning that splits the current, baby
Baby, baby, baby

Bridge/End
And if I fall, I will not fall into the fire.
I am no longer a rebellious soul.
Who opened the doors to me? Who did I meet in that endless night?
My spirit now flies on wings of light
Freedom, freedom, freedom...

Atmosphere: part with almost mystical and desert images (“Barefoot I wander on the burning line”), which evoke a journey of transformation. Air and fire become symbolic elements of thirst, research and rebirth.

    Repeating “freedom”: it creates an effect of enchantment or liberating cry, as if it were a choir that accompanies inner liberation.

    Symbols:

        The river and the lightning: they represent the unstoppable power of freedom.

        The mask and disguise: they allude to false identities and the revelation of the authentic self.

        The chains and walls: they symbolize the constraints that the self manages to break.

    Final turning point: from the rebellious tone we move to a new inner peace: no longer a “rebel” soul that struggles, but a spirit that “flies on the wings of light”. It is the conquest not only of external freedom, but above all of inner freedom.

In summary, the passage tells a path of liberation and spiritual rebirth, with strong and almost visionary images, where the initial struggle turns into a luminous revelation.

THUNDER

This song is about being trapped between memory and release — the impossible weight of carrying every mistake, loss, and truth that time refuses to wash away. It’s me confronting the ghosts I’ve built inside myself, knowing they anchor me as much as they drown me. The song moves through grief, guilt, and the desperate hope for redemption, even when freedom feels like betrayal to the past. Every verse is a mirror of endurance and self-punishment — a soul chained to what it can’t forget, still reaching for light through the cracks.


LYRICS: 

​[Verse 1]
​The cold light bleeds through a fragile frame,
Another midnight whispers out your name.
This heavy silence holds the truth I keep,
A buried promise while the whole world sleeps.
I walk these halls where the echo remains,
Of whispered damage in the driving rains.
The pages turn, but the ending's still the same,
And every future portrait is consumed by flame. 

​[Pre-Chorus]
​[Drums become heavier, tempo pushes forward. Vocals rise in intensity]
I've tried to tear the binding from the page,
To break the cycle on this lonely stage.
But the weight is crushing, the truth too near,
And the price of freedom is a boundless fear. 

​[Chorus]
Go on and scream my burden to the void!
Let every empty hope I had be destroyed!
I am the anchor holding down the past,
A shadow burning, built to never last!
Oh, the memory, you're the vessel and the grave!
A place where the soul comes, but nothing is saved! 

​[Verse 2]
​They say a spirit can only linger on,
If the single, fatal thread is never drawn.
Well, I am that thread, fraying in the grime,
A prisoner sentenced to unending time.
I search the darkness for a flickering spark,
A single reason to get out of the dark.
But the shadow I embrace is all I find,
Leaving every fragile future far behind. 

​[Bridge]
Don't tell me silence is a kind of peace...
I can hear the rot inside me, it will never cease!
A thousand voices screaming that I belong,
To the fault lines where I knew I did the wrong!
The only key to sever the chain is to forget who you are!
But the memory's the only beacon I can see in the dark! 

​[Verse 3]
​The glass is cold where I pressed my hand against the pane,
And nothing waits outside but endless rain.
The cost of letting go is more than I can pay,
So I'll stand here frozen 'til the final day.
The light I seek is just the fading trace,
Of every moment I can't replace.
I made my choice to wear this heavy crown,
And this is where the walls come crashing down. 

​[Chorus]
Go on and scream my burden to the void!
Let every empty hope I had be destroyed!
I am the anchor holding down the past,
A shadow burning, built to never last!
Oh, the memory, you're the vessel and the grave!
A place where the soul comes, but nothing is saved! 

​[Outro]
...Nothing is saved.

The Anchor's Hold

Ma maison/My house:  un rêve, un cauchemar, une petite balade du côté du Cap Vert ;
a dream, a mightmare,  a little tune near Cape Verde

My House 
I’ve lost my house / I’ve got nothing left
I’ve lost my mind / and that’s no small thing
I’ve forgotten where I come from
oh, how good it was
I’ve forgotten the morning light
…
In the living room
there were mirrors to make me pretty
sofas and lace everywhere
Persian rugs , watercolor paintings
porcelain cups with little flowers

In the garden
there were children and songs
little huts and hedgehogs’ hiding spots
friends passing through all year long
and colors swirling all around

I’ve lost my house / I’ve got nothing left 
I’ve lost my mind / and that’s no small thing
I’ve forgotten where I come from
oh, how good it was
I’ve forgotten the morning light

In the bedroom
there were pillows and feather duvets
bouquets of perfume that smelled so sweet
long white sheets for fabulous nights 
and others for the end of life

I’ve lost my mind / I’ve got nothing left
I dreamed of a house / that’s no small thing
might as well forget where I come from / maybe that’s best
This morning I’m looking for the light

My house
is just a few walls made of concrete
gray everywhere, from floor to ceiling
mushrooms growing even without rain
at night the cockroaches find shelter there

The garden
is now the kingdom of trash
Rubble, bicycle and car carcasses
Climbing frames like prisons
Rats …running across the grass

I’ve lost my mind / I’ve got nothing left
I dreamed of a house / that’s no small thing
might as well forget where I come from / maybe that’s best
This morning I’m looking for the light

A sensual and introspective ballad, the vocals and guitars are free to express never-ending rock feelings. Listening to it transports us back to the '60s with psychedelic sounds and lyrics.

IN THE WOOD NEXT TO ME

The ones that pass, unnoticed, the ones you never see.
The ones that make the world a better place.
They keep the bathrooms shiny, they sweep and clean the street.
They do so much, you never see their face.

Behind the scenes it happens.It was there, then it was gone.
That trashcan I push out on the street is empty when I get home
Now, someone has to do it. Just get it done, that’s the plan.
Now, perhaps it’s time I realize how very lucky I am.

The ones that pass, unnoticed, the ones you never see.
The ones that make the world a better place.
The leaves that fall go missing, the grass that’s mowed and swept,
They do so much, you never see their face.

I’d like to think that I am grateful. I’d like to think I appreciate.
I’d like to think deep down, inside my heart, I’d find the time to tell ‘em, “Hey, you did great!’
But, instead I often miss it. I just assume it’ll get done.
But, I know it’s high time, I realize. I need to thank ‘em, each and everyone.

The ones that pass, unnoticed, the ones you never see.
The ones that make the world a better place.
The litter that gets picked up, broken limbs get hauled away.
They do so much, you never see their face.
