The Firmament

by Hilltops Are For Dreamers

/

about

It’s the beginning of life but in a bitter way, where ‘one breath’s enough to liberate the pain’. The place that we live in is just a passage, and our existence is short like the sound of a whistle. We are here to decompress, evolve or fail. Sarcastically, the chorus says ‘that even if I fail, I will ask for more.’ A human drama kind of thing. The title is taken from the biblical cosmology, where ‘the firmament’ is the vast solid dome created by God during the Genesis.

lyrics

One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
Under the arch of sky, the source of life

One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
In a loop of lies, I can’t see the light

Existence is like a whistle short of time
The Firmament, the upper seas, the greater deep
Where spirits decompress before release
Evolving, dissolving in a state of lethargy

Chorus
Leave me down the shore
In the wake of my defeat I will ask for more
And if I am all pretending, I will be yours

One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
One breath’s enough to liberate the pain
Behind the trees, beyond the seas
