Of Concrete And Glass
Age of Silence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found the core to stop the flow
No obstruction, green pierces everything

I have been washed

Now the errors and faults are a blur
See the glass under my feet and the reflection above
It has all come to this
My view to the left and to the right has been lost

Something is blocking it
To help me focus on what is important
For it and for them
I have been eaten by dirty blocks of concrete
And concept-paper
But in the end, as I was sliding brutally through the system, the whole feeling of being digested Turned out to be nothing more that the feather-soft caresses of a juggernaut world

"P&S to be returned to _"
I guess it's all set

So it has come to this




Measuring the distance
Between this world and mine
