Relativity
Cabaret Noir Lyrics

The beginning lyrics of Cabaret Noir's "Relativity" set a slow and contemplative tone for the song. The words "Float / Without rest / Like the space / Between / The nightwalker's eyes" seem to evoke a feeling of drifting aimlessly or feeling lost, much like a sleepwalker might feel as they wander through the night. The mention of "lost / In its caves" reinforces this sense of confusion or disorientation. However, the tone shifts slightly as the singer climbs up out of this state and "stopped / Climbed the bank / To see the game." It's unclear exactly what "the game" refers to, but the shift from drifting to observing seems to suggest a newfound sense of purpose or direction.

As the song progresses, the lyrics grow increasingly surreal and dreamlike. The lines "Summer red fragrances around the lids / Green fishes flickering under the skin" conjure vivid mental images that are difficult to fully explain. However, they seem to contribute to a larger sense of sensory overload or sensory confusion. The song as a whole feels like a journey through strange and unfamiliar territory, with the singer struggling to make sense of the sights, smells, and sensations they encounter along the way.
