about

Song of hope and resilience inspired from the rusting boats of Aral Sea.

lyrics

Now the dying sea is going back and forth
And all it leaves behind are those forgotten thoughts
Like those pretty wrecks stranded in the sands
Waiting for the man who'll make them sail again

Like a secret oath you never dared to take
Like a distant voice whispering your mistakes
To keep the heart&soul
From getting dark&cold
You gotta roll up your sleeves
And turn rust into gold
So hit the road again
'cause you're back in the game

Who will you be in your own company ?
You don't know
There is still so far to go
Where do you stand when darkness comes again,
And you eyes are not shining the same
Anymore ?

Everyday you remind your lover on the shore
You crossed the broken line
You never drew before
You knew you had to leave
Between the ebb&flow
Leaving it all behind in the wake of your thought

So use your tiny hands burnt by the hungry salt
It's hard to understand but it's nobody's fault
Your body's getting old along a dusty road
But feel it in your bones
You turn rust into gold
That's all you long to be
A boat back to the sea
