about

This song speaks of the degree of introspection needed to suffer less, which often hurts, and also to avoid sinking too deeply into the darkness at the risk of seeing only blackness. The cards help you find answers and connect with your inner life more serenely.

lyrics

That Which Stagnates is a Liar

Through the crackling light
I realize my vibrant immersion,
From my shell to my sight
I release its powerful action

The card sprang from the deck,
The better to meet me
Like a worthy old friend,
Like a gust of a new spring

Who scratches the surface,
And weeps blessed tears,
Touches the hidden depths
Crosses the highest peaks !

Beware of the dark
That looks into your eyes,
Walk through the fire !
That which stagnates is a liar !

It glides through my soul
From droplets to streams,
It sparkles on my vessels,
Dazzling is my dream

Like a blur on troubled water
Or the mirror of a still lake,
Here comes the moonmaker,
Her hand is crossing the gate

Who scratches the surface,
And weeps blessed tears,
Touches the hidden depths
Crosses the highest peaks !

Beware of the dark
That looks into your eyes,
Walk through the fire !
That which stagnates is a liar !

To the rhythm of a life that must move,
To the truth of a heart that must feel,
Life is enough for those who know how to pour,
Life is enough for those who know how to fill
