The song relies on a double connotation given to the title, both referring to the different ‘voices’ or ‘personae’ of the self and to the layer concealing what is real and true. It all started as a bare version with vocals and guitar, with the core idea of the ‘mirroring’ of the two voices (the low and the high-pitched). From that first version I kept almost everything intact, as it already sounded complete.
Our Beauty in the Fire
Our Beauty in the Fire – Voices Lyrics
Voices conceal
The painful desires
Once you’ve stopped caring
And feeling secure
Not thinking it’s real, no more
When I lie among the ashes
Dreaming of eternal life
My hours fade into the past
What I had was so beautiful
Fragments and flashes, again
Drag us all
To a world of silent dark seas
Unready to fall
We’ve clung to our far distant voices
Voices reveal
A different anxiety
A joyful disgrace to me
The nights have been sleepless, immaculate, intense
The days trailed my mind asking not to be fed
You may know I still think of you
Like a deadly disease binding my body
It’s a long journey into myself
The repression of will
Was a selfish idea, delightful regret
Drag us all
Into a white wild recess
Unable to call
We’ll keep our silence protected
Drag us all
To a world of silent dark seas
Unready to fall
We’ve clung to our far distant voices
To a world of silent dark seas
We’ve clung to our far distant voices
To our far distant voices
We’ll keep our silence protected
We’ll keep our silence protected
