Artificial Paradise-Sylvan

Artificial Paradise (Album Version) - Sylvan In a vaporous world - an appearance so bright where the people are blurred and hard to visualise In inscrutable lands with asynchronous time we are living alone and still dehumanised In invisible realms just sporadically clear see us huddled in peace so inconspicuously In a region of mind where comparisons fail we are leading our lives ... Different faces on the other side in our artificial paradise In a world full of fates and illusions - do you see them? Through emotional states - with a mask made of ice Where the bridges yet fade and where the tears have dried Here the values have changed with the light, actually pale Here we're leading our life ... Different faces on the other side in our artificial paradise In a world full of fates and illusions do we see them? Here – you can believe me! – yeah, here the world is made of gold with promises so bright Here it is so easy and here we just forget ourselves that´s why we feel alright Here – we can´t deny it! – yeah, here we close our eyes and keep the distance day and night Here – why should we hide it? – yes, here we can enjoy the time and rather feel alright Here we'll keep our secrets – yeah, here's the land of milk and honey where the spirits fly Here – without a regret – yes here we drink our souls and though we flee we feel alright Suddenly for a short glimpse of time – did you realise? Full of life – so sincere! Suddenly from the glance and the warmth in those eyes And the answer was so clear Faces within a cold, they rise - Breaking the envelopes of ice See how the silhouettes of life finally fade... Evacuate identities until we leave us incognito Without pain but gradually we vanish in insensitivity Naturalised narcotic dreams they supersede us numb and restless Paralysed cosmetic queens within a surgical and stiff parade Like jigsaw pieces try in vain to release our face, but we hide the trace to please With an apathy - the wish to increase isolation in an irritating clean and an oh so gracious anonymity! So there are no surprises in a space full of lies too cold - just erase the hope to fight hypocritical ideas, to release the feelings we need to escape our f**king precious anonymity! What do we keep in our heads? What do we need in our minds? Will we succeed and regret or will we become dumb and blind? Emphasise eventually our superficial generation Affluent society may - without doubts - tend to neglect their force Decadence, mistrust and pride begin to drown our civilisation But human on the other side and rather individual, indeed Like jigsaw pieces try in vain to release our face, but we hide the trace to please With an apathy - the wish to increase isolation in an irritating clean and an oh so gracious anonymity! So there are no surprises in a space full of lies too cold - just erase the hope to fight hypocritical ideas, to release the feelings we need to escape our f**king precious anonymity! What do we keep in our heads? What do we need in our minds? Will we succeed and regret or will we become dumb and blind? Do we see them? Do we see the other side? Do we see them? Do we know what we deny?
