When I was a child i had a giant artbook in my room
I'd stared at gauguins paintings all my afternoons
And it felt so warm vivid colors when it stormed
So safe in the unknown
And it felt so warm vivid colors when it stormed
Escapism in it's best form
Islands on my mind, i was sailing on a boat to the moon
I was living deep inside my own tune
And it felt so warm vivid colors when it stormed
So safe in the unknown
And it felt so warm vivid colors when it stormed
Escapism in it's best form
"I shut my eyes in order to see."
And the "woman of the mango"
Forever stayed within me
And i know
This colorful imagery
Was pointing ON who i am bound to be
Wonderful caricature
Grotesque melody
Was a reflection of me in this cheosociety
Primitive beauty
On a purifying duty
In my head
You won't understand
And she said
It's not the end
It's just the way you are
Sailing so far
To bring back an empty jar
Full of art-scars
Painting an old memoir
Who are you vahine no te vi?
"Je suis saint esprit
Je suis sain d'espri."
And it felt so warm vivid colors when it stormed
So safe in the unknown
And it felt so warm vivid colors when it stormed
Escapism in it's best form
