Daedalus
San Fermin Lyrics

I saw it all
I witnessed everything

Happened on the golden sheets
All the events took place on these golden sheets

In the morning
This happened during the morning hours

You were asleep
And you were asleep while this occurred

Hazy in your golden days
You were living in a distorted perception of reality, blinded by your own illusions and beliefs

There was a child
A young child was present

Moving on her mother's breast
The child was nursing from her mother

Breathing only
The child was barely breathing

Dust in the light
The child was breathing in dust in the sunlight

But you know it's awfully hard
It's incredibly difficult

To dream
To imagine a better future or situation

I was a knight
I was filled with chivalrous ideas

In my mother's arms
I was with my mother when this happened

Black as mourning
I was emotionally heavy due to mourning

Wearing the lights
I was adorned with lights or crystals

Glowing so my sister
Shining brightly so that my sister could see me

Could see
So she could have clarity and perspective

I felt it all
I experienced everything

But you know it's awfully hard
But it's really tough

To talk about it
To discuss it with others

Try to recall
To attempt to remember what happened

The girls when I was seventeen--
The girls that I knew when I was 17 years old

A dream
It all feels like a fantasy or a dream now

Know this can't be right
I know this can't be correct or moral

But it's awfully hard to fight
But it's really challenging to resist

When it's going quickly and it's like
When everything is moving rapidly and it seems like

We're half asleep
We're not completely awake or conscious

There's no rosy almost days behind
The past isn't perfect or pleasant

These painted lady eyes
These eyes with makeup on them

Let it go and all that they imply
Release it and everything that comes with it

Get over me
You need to move on from me

It's hard to talk about
It's challenging to discuss

When inside you're freaking out
When you're panicking internally

When it's going quickly and you doubt
When everything is happening too fast and you're uncertain

You're anything
It's hard to define yourself or your identity

But it's what we have instead of God
But it's what we cling onto instead of a higher power

What we have instead of God
Our substitutes for religion or spirituality

We're anything
We're undefined or uncertain beings

Like the moment after love
Like the experience of coming back to reality after lovemaking

When we know we finally kill the buzz
When we acknowledge that the passionate feeling is over

So we can sleep
So that we can rest

And we can finally let it lie
And we can finally leave it be

While the days keep passing by
While time continues to move forward

Carried on the little deaths we die
Coping with the small losses we experience over time

Then we can sleep
Only then can we finally get some rest

Where have you been?
Where have you been all this time?

Wish I could talk to you
I wish I could have a conversation with you right now

I've been dreaming
I've been lost in my own dreams

I don't wanna die
I don't want to pass away

Lying on the palest sheets
Clinging to life while weak and vulnerable

But you know it's awfully hard
But you know it's incredibly tough

I don't wanna die
I don't want to pass away

Lying in my mother's bed
Vulnerable and helpless, like a child in their mother's arms

In the morning
As the sun comes up
