about

A song about inner and outer divisions

lyrics

I've got half a head in the sunshine
Half a head in the stream
I've got half a mind behind
And half ahead of me
Half a mind entwined
And half a mind to leave
When I'm halfway back to mine
With a quarter of what I brought with me
And I see demarcation
To my left and to my right
Humanity ceases at the boundaries of the tribe
And I've got one foot on the border
And one on the run
A hand in two languages
But not fluent in either one

Asking
What am I
Getting my
Self into?
What if I'm
Cutting my
Self in two?

A life between worlds
Between doing and being
Between belonging and longing
Leave or believe
Between sound and silence
Between charge and retreat
Hindsight and foresight both
Clotheslining me

Asking
What am I
Getting my
Self into?
What if I'm
Cutting my
Self in two?

I(s)land of antinomies
I am my own nation
Too many factions
Too many fictions
Too many points of friction

I had two rival dreams
Heard two melodies
They diverged through my body
And now all I can feel is
Vacillation
Along a knife's edge
Two generations
Two climates butting heads

Since the word Einsam means 'solitary' (literally 'One-some'), it made sense for a solo project by someone called Sam.
