Thomas Feiner & Anywhen, The Opiates - Revised


Vocalist and mastermind of the group, Thomas Feiner, says the album is "about growing up and getting older. It’s about life’s bitter-sweet discoveries, uncertainties and the feeling that you no longer have things in control. At the other end of the emotional spectrum, however, ‘The Opiates’ is about finding consolation and solace. The album title refers to the experiences in life that pull us down, whether they’re imagined needs, responsibilities, or rewards." (source)

 

"The Siren Songs"

On the last day of summer the sun shines bright
And we’re walking through the woods
What if love is the greatest damn liar of all
Would you trust me with your life?

On the last day of summer the clouds are white
And I’m sitting by the lake
And she’s singing my name, she’s beckoning me
If I just lose myself for now
For one day

I want to drown in her precious arms
I want to listen to the siren songs
She got me down into the water
And she got me holding on

And she’s floating oh so peacefully
As I’m watching from below
In the bluest water I ever saw
The palest body to be striped
By the sun

I want to drown in her precious arms
I want to listen to the siren songs
She got me down into the water
And she got me holding on

So let me drown in those precious arms
With all my untouchabilities washed away
Let me for once be lost for reason
Let me be lost
For words
