In this case it’s the iridescent self-abnegating “tears in rain” that android replicant Roy Batty talks about so movingly in the movie Blade Runner. But the forceful string theme at the close of the piece intimates that some day the machines might no longer take their exploitation “lying down”, as it were.
We can only hope compassionate voices like Asu’s here will then assuage their rage: “Hush, hush, let's get lost,” she sings, or rather whispers, to us on the second track, “Gun Song”. And indeed, the strings that come in again at the end of the song are no longer marching toward their just cause, but exude a sighing soulful well-being like that of the Beast bewitched by its beloved Beauty.
On this third album "Comme Vous Voulez" Alphawezen take us through the vast realm between experimentation and calculated effects, bringing us the circle back to the first album: L'après-midi d'un Microphone. The debut Album on MOLE is a mosaic in that it is comprised of many pieces but also forms a coherent whole. Pop and Ambient are no longer enemies on this release, but rather compliment each other. Boundaries are being tested here, and as the album progresses it becomes apparent that these boundaries aren't reality, but merely the influence of the external world. The title is a play on Debussy's "Prelude a l'Après-Midi d'un Faune" In French "Faune" is pronounced as "phone".

Out of Sight
Alphawezen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under a secret sky
Far from the city
Far out of sight
We wanted to meet
In the night
Behind the milky ???
Under the city lights
??? my words inside
Now I am waiting for the night
Now I am waiting for the night
Behind this milky winter
There is no perfect night
Just a face on the pillow
Just a dream with any ???
Behind this milky winter
There is no perfect night
Next to the easy matters
On the run empty sky
I lost my courage
Far out of sight
And wordless we passed
Each other by
Behind this milky winters
There is no perfect night
Just a face on the pillow
Just a dream with any ???
Behind this milky winter
There is no perfect night
Just a face on the pillow
Just a dream with any ???
The lyrics of Alphawezen's "Out of Sight" seem to depict the desire to connect with someone far away from the distractions of the city. The imagery of being under a secret sky and behind a milky winter suggests a sense of isolation and disconnection from the outside world. The singer in the song longs to meet someone at night, and their words seem to be trapped inside, perhaps because of fear or uncertainty.
As the song progresses, the singer describes feeling lost and lacking courage as they pass someone else by "wordless." The repetition of the phrase "Behind this milky winter, there is no perfect night" implies a sense of disappointment or dissatisfaction, as if the singer's desire to connect with someone has not been fulfilled. The final stanza, which repeats the same lyrics as the first, suggests that the longing for connection remains even after the earlier disappointments.
Overall, the lyrics of "Out of Sight" convey a sense of longing and frustration at the difficulty of connecting with others. The imagery of being hidden away from the city suggests a desire for intimacy and privacy, but the repetition of the phrase "no perfect night" suggests that this desire is difficult or impossible to fulfill.
