After the Deluge

{faint rhythmic thunder, delicate sparkling piano melody,

distant rain on windowpane}

Do you feel the resonance when my thoughts reach for you?

With every inhalation, the world turns a shade of blue

An empty landscape, a thousand days of shifting sand

I see your silhouette,

a mirage I can’t command.

Wandering in the silence,

un désert sans fin Waiting for the contact,

the touch of your hand in mine.

{fragile breathy intimate delivery,

shimmering reverb-heavy texture on desert} The distance is a heavy weight,

I’m drowning in this love

A single day without your light is an era spent above.

I need you at my center,

how will I survive?

Without your presence, the season fails to thrive.

Un jour sans toi,

c'est comme une année

de sécheresse. {expansive longing melodic,

vocal harmonies soaring lush} The constellations ignite,

your echo vibrates in my mind

Can’t you hear the signal,

the tether that binds?

My heart is a cracked riverbed,

starving for the tide

Catch me in the collapse,

the earth breaking by my side.

Save me from the arid air,

let the sky descend The monsoon is coming,

when you reach the journey's end.

{rhythmic yearning delivery, rapid-fire vocal chop on monsoon}

Let the drought dissolve,

let the garden bloom again.

Que cette terre stérile reprenne enfin son plein.

Glad that you found me,

stay within my orbit,

stay.

Don't waste the time.

Ne perds plus une seconde.

{music pulls back, steady deep bass pulse and synth-strings,

whisper very close-mic intense} 100% Tiguidou.

The rain has finally arrived.

The cycle of the desert is broken.

{raw intimate bedroom studio vibe,

resolved elegant, heavy soothing rainfall,

final bright piano flourish}
