Lyrics (by Andra Semesta):
All the masks stand up and heal my face
As the animals bark to eat my hate
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Let the cards be spread to tell my fate
Holy numbers did smile and lead my way
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Let my words caress your fragile soul
Let the music delight your hidden mind
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
This is my kind of art

This is my kind of art
This is my kind of art
This is my kind of dance
This is my kind of dance
This is my kind of dance
All for the circle round

The human mind is a very nice thing
The human mind is a very nice challenge
Hahaha
The human mind is a very nice thing

When god made the human minds did he know what he’s doing?
When god made the human minds did he know that he’s making a very nice entertainment?
Hahaha
Hahaha
The human mind is a very nice job
The human mind is a very nice memory
Hahaha
The human mind is a very nice game
The human mind is a very nice destiny
Hahaha
When god made the human minds did he know what he’s doing?
When god made the human minds did he know that he’s making a bittersweet feast?

The human mind is a very nice thing
The human mind is very nice painting

Yes, this is mostly a freestyle, but I have to be honest to you that i had the first lines “Yellow bird in the sky/i can see flying high/i can see it from now” in my head fr a while before recording this. but the rest of the 4’33 is indeed improv

lyrics (by Andra Semesta):
Wahai dunia
yang penuh suara dan warna-warna
Ijinkan aku sesaat terdiam
diam berserah segala rasa
Dalam kesunyian ini
yang kurela hidupi
Hendak kujalani
dicinta dan dimengerti
Kusadari
bentuk matriks ilahi dunia ini
Yang tak pernah perlu engkau ketahui
Biar saja aku angkat beban ini
Dalam kesunyian ini
Sendiri ini
Di Dalam sunyi
Semuanya kuresapi
Hidup ini
tak bisa sendiri, tapi di sunyi
ku lebih mengerti semesta ini
sihir dan logika enggan berarti
Dalam kesunyian ini
hanya cinta yang tetap
tetap berarti
dan hanya mimpi yang mengerti
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
dear world
which is filled with sounds and colours
allow me to be still for a moment
still, submitting to all feels
in this silence
which I’m willing to live in
I intend to walk upon
I will love and understand
I realised
The shape of the divine matrix of this world
Which you will never have to understand
Just let me lift this burden
in this silence
this aloneness
Within silence
I absorb everything
This life
can’t be lead alone, but in silence
I understand the universe more
Magic and logic unwilling to have meaning
In this silence
Only love remains
Remains meaningful
And only dreams understand

lyrics (by Andra Semesta):
Let me sing about the time we form our love beneath the lemon tree
Up and upon the chocolate mountains in the sea
With all the fairies and the gnomes and all the wonders we can see
Oh I will wait, girl I will love you
And as we dance to the rhythm of our taciturn hearts
And as we bask in the glory of the music we love
I will not doubt the time-frame god handpicked to cement our love
I’ll obsess on your worldliness you’ll obsess on my craziness
Well I know you’re a dreamer too so why can’t we just dream
A house by the riverside, children running in the yard
Living, breathing tokens for the times that we shared
Running round in circles forming everything we love
From the lingering days to the passionate days
The little times we shared have shed the lifetime it did felt of wait
and all the fever dreams of loving and caressing you
My peace is to be with you; oh the place is deep within you
I know you’re a dreamer too so why can’t we just dream
And in our dreams, our souls took flight,
And they made love in the sky
Up in the cosmos, with all the stars
And as our body danced to the rhythm of our taciturn hearts
And as we bask in the glory of the music we love
I will not doubt the time-frame god handpicked to cement our love
I’ll excuse all your fearfulness you’ll excuse all my foolishness
I’ll cherish your motherliness you’ll cherish on my childishness
I know you’re a dreamer too, so why can’t we just dream
I know you’re a dreamer too, so why can’t we just dream
I know you’re a dreamer too, so why can’t we just dream
The green of life, it’s in you dear
The love grew with each touch
And by the warmth of your light
Oh I know that you’re mine all mine
The love grew with each kiss
The Colors I wouldn’t miss
Oh I know that I’m yours, all yours
This body is yours
This soul is yours
My heart is yours, all yours
The music is yours
It had always, always been yours
I know you’re a dreamer too so why can’t we just dream
The green of life, it is you dear

lyrics (by Andra Semesta):
Hi, How are you
I’m in this dark-ass café with nothing to do
And with nothing to peruse
I think of you
I think of you
This town is so cool
Oh I know that you think it’s cool too
How I wanna be cool together with you
But I could hurt you
Oh I will hurt you
Cause underneath that blinding light
I can never lose my sight
I can never get a grip on any might
Deep inside that blinding light
You will see me lose my mind
I will capture all the colors I could find
Cause it just don’t go out
And the light is coming now
Yea the light will obstruct all that you can shine
As I’m making it mine
I’ll make it mine
Whoa
What does it feel like to the imagination blind?
Who can’t see these colors like I see them in my mind?
Whoa-oh sweet art
The shade of blue that defines you, define me too
And it’s such a sweet, sweet hue
Goddamn it I’m in love with you
I don’t wanna hurt you
Shade of blue
I feel for you
But if this composition’s true
I promise I’d still dance with you
I’ll spin with you
That’s how I’ll love you
I’ll spin with you
I’ll sing with you
I’ll be with you the way we need us to
I’ll feel with you
I’ll spin for you

You think it’s okay to walk around like art

Look at me, I’m looking at you
