The song is about the escape of the dancing bear behind the album’s title, freed by a dancer named Uca. A story is hinted to at the end of the song’s YouTube video. Here is a transcript:
“…They had rolled into town a few months back, bringing with them all the thrills of circus and spectacle… The s...
So near to me, so far from me now
So near to me, so far from me now
So good day, so pleased to meet you
You've come a long way, and we’re here to greet you
So get the fire burning, you've got the spark
That lights up the faces of the people in the dark
Following the figure dressed in the white
Shining like a sun in the cold starlight
So near to me, so far from me now
So near to me, so far from me now
So well met, you careful creature
The people that you meet will color your future
The choice you make, the chance you take
They're differing for every junction (what’s around the corner?)
Humankind collide, the road divides
Trajectories are subtly older
So get the fire burning, you've got the spark
That lights up the faces of the people in the dark
Following the figure dressed in the white
Shining like a sun in the cold starlight
So near to me, so far from me now
So near to me, so far from me now
To have met you in such circumstances
Battlegrounds for fire dances
Spark of laughter in the dark
Flicker in unearthly vision
Havoc and apostasy
Find the lock and turn the key
Build a house up from the ground
Make a plain field out of a prison
So near to me, so far from me now (just around the corner)
So near to me, so far from me now (a fortunate encounter)
So near to me, so far from me now
So near to me, so far from me now
Now
So near to me, so far from me now (just around the corner)
So near to me, so far from me now (a fortunate encounter)
So near to me, so far from me now
So near to me, so far from me now
