Only today my eyes… Read Full Bio ↴Only today inside your compass needle has stood still
Only today my eyes are open widely
A forest house covered in the shadows, it can't be seen if you got no feathers
A forest house covered with the golden leaves
Only because your smiling face, I can feel safe here
Morning is bringing colored lights all over
A forest house covered in the shadows, it can't be seen if you got no feathers
A forest house covered with the golden leaves
Days go by in lonely rooms, we can hide ourselves inside them
Winter gloves and navy coats, tattered books and nothing more
Days go by in lonely rooms, we can hide ourselves sleeping by the fire
Voices are loud inside our hearts, but they are so quite in ears
Nothing can make our little boat float further
A forest house covered in the shadows, it can't be seen if you got no feathers
A forest house covered with the golden leaves

Only today my eyes are open widely
A forest house covered in the shadows, it can't be seen if you got no feathers
A forest house covered with the golden leaves
Only because your smiling face, I can feel safe here
Morning is bringing colored lights all over
A forest house covered in the shadows, it can't be seen if you got no feathers
Days go by in lonely rooms, we can hide ourselves inside them
Winter gloves and navy coats, tattered books and nothing more
Days go by in lonely rooms, we can hide ourselves sleeping by the fire
Voices are loud inside our hearts, but they are so quite in ears
Nothing can make our little boat float further
A forest house covered in the shadows, it can't be seen if you got no feathers
A forest house covered with the golden leaves
The song "Compass" by Motorama speaks about the transient nature of existence and how fleeting moments of happiness can impact our lives. The first verse talks about the singer's realization that time has momentarily stood still for them, and they feel awakened to the world around them. The forest house covered in shadows serves as a metaphor for the hidden beauty that one can only see if they have the right perspective or tools to do so. Similarly, only through the positive outlook and smiling face of someone else, can the singer feel safe and be present in the moment. The second verse addresses loneliness, and how one can find solace in mundane items such as winter gloves, navy coats, or tattered books. Here, the singer acknowledges the fact that moments of joy can be elusive and that life is temporary. The final verse talks about the internal dialogue that everyone has and how it is often quieter on the outside. It concludes with the same metaphor of a forest house, which can be perceived as a place of comfort and security, covered in golden leaves symbolizing the fact that beauty can be found in unexpected and transient things.

Mi favorita! Aunque los conocí por un vive latino hace unos años, no he oído mucho sus canciones. Me pongo en la tarea de hacerlo. :)
Marinz MC
Lo amo desde el primer segundo. No se va con medias y arranca con esa gravedad vocal que ya conocemos. El ritmo es fabuloso. Unos genios. :)
