Artificial Paradise
Sylvan Lyrics

In a vaporous world - an appearance so bright
The world around us seems unclear and blurry, despite the bright appearance.

where the people are blurred and hard to visualise
The people in this world are hard to see and difficult to understand.

In inscrutable lands with asynchronous time
We're living in a mysterious place where time appears to be irregular.

we are living alone and still dehumanised
Despite being surrounded by others, we still feel alone and disconnected from humanity.

In invisible realms just sporadically clear
Our surroundings are sometimes visible, but at other times they're invisible and hard to comprehend.

see us huddled in peace so inconspicuously
We're trying to find peace in this confusing world by staying hidden and unnoticeable.

In a region of mind where comparisons fail
We're in a world where it's difficult to compare things or make sense of anything.

we are leading our lives ...
We're living our lives as best we can, with the limited understanding we have of this world.

Different faces on the other side in our artificial paradise
There are others in this world, but they're different from us and we're all living in an artificial reality.

In a world full of fates and illusions - do you see them?
Despite the illusions and fake realities, can we still see the real people around us?

Through emotional states - with a mask made of ice
We're trying to get through our emotions with a cold and indifferent attitude.

Where the bridges yet fade and where the tears have dried
We're in a place where connections to others are fading away and any tears we shed are meaningless.

Here the values have changed with the light, actually pale
Our values have become distorted and meaningless, and the light around us seems weak and insignificant.

Here we're leading our life ...
Despite the difficulties of this world, we're still trying to lead our lives as best we can.

Here – you can believe me! – yeah, here the world is made of gold with promises so bright
In this artificial world, everything seems perfect and promising, but it's just a facade.

Here it is so easy and here we just forget ourselves that´s why we feel alright
We're so caught up in this fake world that we forget who we really are and it makes us feel okay.

Here – we can´t deny it! – yeah, here we close our eyes and keep the distance day and night
We're purposely avoiding the reality of this world by keeping ourselves disconnected and uninvolved.

Here – why should we hide it? – yes, here we can enjoy the time and rather feel alright
We're enjoying the temporary escape from reality that this world provides, even though it's not real.

Here we'll keep our secrets – yeah, here's the land of milk and honey where the spirits fly
We're keeping our true selves hidden and safe in this seemingly perfect world where everyone appears happy.

Here – without a regret – yes here we drink our souls and though we flee we feel alright
We're indulging in this fake world and ignoring the consequences, even though we know it's not real.

Suddenly for a short glimpse of time – did you realise?
For a brief moment, did you realize something important?

Full of life – so sincere!
This moment was full of life and authenticity.

Suddenly from the glance and the warmth in those eyes
From the warmth and sincerity in someone's eyes, a realization dawned upon us.

And the answer was so clear
We now understand the truth of the situation.

Faces within a cold, they rise - Breaking the envelopes of ice
People's true emotions and identities are breaking free from their cold, indifferent facades.

See how the silhouettes of life finally fade...
This realization causes the fake reality we've been living in to disappear, showing the true nature of life.

Evacuate identities until we leave us incognito
We're losing our sense of identity and becoming anonymous in this false world.

Without pain but gradually we vanish in insensitivity
We're becoming numb to everything, and the change is gradual and without pain.

Naturalised narcotic dreams they supersede us numb and restless
Our dreams in this fake world are addictive and take over our senses, leaving us feeling numb and restless.

Paralysed cosmetic queens within a surgical and stiff parade
In this world, everyone is trying to be perfect and beautiful, but it's all fake and leaves them feeling paralyzed and stiff.

So there are no surprises in a space full of lies too cold - just erase
In this world where everything is fake and cold, there are no surprises and we're just erasing anything real.

the hope to fight hypocritical ideas, to release the feelings we need to escape our fucking precious anonymity!
We need to fight against the fake ideas of this world and embrace our true feelings in order to break free from the fake anonymity we've created.

Emphasise eventually our superficial generation
We need to focus on the superficial nature of our generation and the importance of creating meaningful connections.

Affluent society may - without doubts - tend to neglect their force
A wealthy society can easily neglect its true power and become too focused on superficial things.

Decadence, mistrust and pride begin to drown our civilisation
Our society is drowning in decadence, mistrust, and pride, which is causing our civilization to crumble.

But human on the other side and rather individual, indeed
Despite all of the superficiality and fake realities, there are still real people with individual identities.

Do we see them? Do we see the other side?
Despite being caught up in the fake world, can we still see the true identities of the people around us?

Do we know what we deny?
Are we aware of the things we're denying and rejecting in our pursuit of the fake world?

What do we keep in our heads? What do we need in our minds?
What are we holding onto and what do we truly need to understand about this world?

Will we succeed and regret or will we become dumb and blind?
Will we learn from this experience and make a change, or become ignorant and stay in the fake world forever?
