For this record, Thomas carried to the extreme the concept of "solo project" and realized it from A to Z. He plays all the instruments (guitars of all kinds, piano, synths, bass, clarinet, glock, percussion,…) and has entirely produced, recorded and mixed it by transforming the attic of his house into a home studio. This attic has become a true sound laboratory in which time has stopped for this hyper-productive young musician. It is finally at Studio 5 (MLCD, Roscoe, Dan San,…) that the last layer of varnish was added, with the help of Raphaël Wynands. Fascinated by music as much as graphic arts, he also wanted to create himself the visual universe surrounding the album.
Sister
The Feather Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There′s nothing to see here
Harden your shell,
The other's always near.
Listen to the words you read,
It′s hot air.
It shares.
Always captive to the screen,
You're loosing
I will never reappear,
So, well...
My sister's in love
Brother′s laughing when he′s down
I enter your soul
Don't you feel this thing
Just give it away
Control yourself,
Why do you scratch my back?
You′re sitting on my shell,
I can't even go out
My sister′s in love
Brother's laughing when he′s down
I enter your soul
Lying on the background
My sister's in love
Brother's laughing when he′s down
I enter your soul
Don′t you feel this thing
Just give it away
Hey sister,
Stay hide in your bed
Resist her
Then, go back to sleep
Hey sister,
Stay hide in your bed
Resist her
Then, go back to sleep
Hey sister,
Stay hide in your bed
Resist her
Then, go back to sleep
Hey sister,
Stay hide in your bed
Resist her
Then, go back to sleep
The lyrics to The Feather's song "Sister" have a haunting and introspective quality to them, as they touch upon themes of control, detachment, and love. The opening lines "Control yourself, there's nothing to see here" seem to suggest a certain level of restraint and detachment, as if the singer is trying to maintain some level of self-control in the face of a chaotic world. They tell us to "harden your shell", implying that we need to build up a tough exterior to protect ourselves from the outside world, and to listen to the words we read - suggesting a certain distance from reality.
The repeated refrain "My sister's in love, Brother's laughing when he's down, I enter your soul" is a recurring theme that touches upon the notions of love and connection. However, the lines are also tinged with a sort of melancholic detachment - the singer may be entering the soul of another, but there is a sense of distance and disconnection that pervades the song.
Towards the end of the song, The Feathers tell us to "stay hide in your bed, resist her, then go back to sleep". The lines have a sense of resignation to them, as if the singer is suggesting that sometimes it's easier to just hide away and disconnect from the world, rather than to engage with it fully.
Overall, "Sister" seems to be a song about detachment and love, and how sometimes these two forces can be at odds with each other. The Feather's have crafted a beautiful, introspective piece that embraces the complexities of human emotion.
Line by Line Meaning
Control yourself,
Refrain from losing control of yourself
There's nothing to see here
There is nothing worth seeing here
Harden your shell,
Make your exterior tough and impenetrable
The other's always near.
Other people are always nearby
Listen to the words you read,
Pay attention to the words you are reading
It's hot air.
The words are meaningless and without substance
City never goes to sleep,
The city is always awake
It shares.
The city shares itself with its inhabitants
Always captive to the screen,
Always hooked on technology
You're losing
You are losing something important
I will never reappear,
I will never show up again
So, well...
Oh well...
My sister's in love
My sister is experiencing love
Brother's laughing when he's down
Brother is laughing even when he is unhappy
I enter your soul
I connect with you on a deep level
Don't you feel this thing
Do you not feel this emotion?
Just give it away
Just let go of it
Control yourself,
Refrain from losing control of yourself
Why do you scratch my back?
Why are you bothering me?
You're sitting on my shell,
You are using me for support
I can't even go out
I cannot even leave my current situation
Lying on the background
Existing in the background without being noticed
Hey sister,
Hey, my sister
Stay hide in your bed
Stay hidden in your bed
Resist her
Resist temptation
Then, go back to sleep
Then, go back to sleep
Hey sister,
Hey, my sister
Stay hide in your bed
Stay hidden in your bed
Resist her
Resist temptation
Then, go back to sleep
Then, go back to sleep
Hey sister,
Hey, my sister
Stay hide in your bed
Stay hidden in your bed
Resist her
Resist temptation
Then, go back to sleep
Then, go back to sleep
Hey sister,
Hey, my sister
Stay hide in your bed
Stay hidden in your bed
Resist her
Resist temptation
Then, go back to sleep
Then, go back to sleep
