O feel
Immersive love
No one will bring
More love
More love
Of such pure and tender kind
Mmm
Unhuman
Non-human
Or human
Nothing more than love

BEHIND GLASS
Doves are here
Or maybe ghosts
I sent you to the zoo today
To have some wild me at home
A new guest joins for supper
Words dressed up with smoking signs
Fingers acting slow movements
Eyes full of dark excuses
So I shift
The sweetest thing on earth
Got dizzy watching stars
Closed its eyes and fell asleep
At a distance behind glass
Love was here
Or maybe stones
I had to sell my wedding ring today
To take a bus trip for me alone
The scenery was wasted
I felt homesick for another life
Was waiting for the right one, the open one,
The willing one, the beam blazing light thrilling one
Asking why
The sweetest thing on earth
Got dizzy watching stars
Closed its eyes
At a distance behind glass
Doves are here

PALACES, HOUSES, HUTS
Holding softly
Air in her arms
Her belly a pink cushion
To rest your head upon
She will take care of your skin
Your skin, your bones but above all
Your temporary sorrows
Here are empty palaces, houses and huts
Where lights burn day and night fiery
Be foam and float
No skull to ground
Your echo will never be
Claimed by anyone
She will take care of your skin
Your skin, your bones but above all
Your temporary sorrows
Here are empty palaces houses and huts
Where lights burn day and night fiery

LADY WITH ARROWS
Here’s the body that wants to be caressed
Here’s the body that just wants to eat
Here is the eye that shows and knows
Some hearts melt, some hearts just beat
Hear the symphony of cowards
Hear the shadow of wild fruits
Hear the extra heartbeats for all my lovers
Hear them, clever lady nature.
Lady with arrows
Show your thighs
Lady with arrows
Fire your signs
Lady with arrows
Give me the shivers
Lady with arrows
Run down my spine
Your beautiful breathing
To encourage my bleeding
Slaughters the invisible
Purifies the physical
Here’s the tender hour
Of shared suffering
Hear the thriving of the muse
Dissolving fears through playing
It might feel strange
Hear the obstructive colors
of nightshades rushin’ in
Here are fire sparks on tongues
That banish rules of stupidity
Lady with arrows
Lady, save my endings
Lady with arrows
Colour my time

I don’t exist for me alone
Have mercy upon me
I don’t exist for me alone
I don’t

THE KEEPER
She went to bed early
This one night
She couldn’t sleep
The moon full red
She got out of bed
The bar scattered dance music
Of course she is lonely
Of course she is lonely
The keeper
Carries all the secrets
Of people
The shape, the shape
That breaks the surface
And seekers
Want to know the meaning
Of feelings
To sustain, sustain is
A kind of painful
She wrote “dear Virginia”
This one time
She wouldn’t bleed
The moon all pale
Was she even real
Her thoughts about to change to stay the same
Of course she will choose this
Of course she will lose it
The keeper
Carries all the secrets
Of people
The shape, the shape
that breaks
the surface
And seekers
Want to know the meaning
Of feelings
To sustain, sustain is a kind of painful
No mortal truly knows
Hidden in the decency of darkness
Where life and death arise
Desire and dreams will come to blind you
A silhouette appears to you
Her eyes and heart you cannot see
Her black wings are all you ‘ll meet
When you leave, you leave the gardens of E.
Support the little things
Undergo a ritual
Endure the force
Follow the void of course
Carry your mind open
Suffer the unintended
Curl all secrets in
Time, time isn’t a straight line

C A T H E D R A L
Closer to buildings than to animals we are
We rise up to the sky
Like a carnal cathedral we are
Mm hiding
Mm building
Mm building
Mm living
Our daily explorations
Through unfamiliar spaces
Like a lost tourist we are
Nothing will exhaust us
Discovering hidden places
The greatest bliss we are
Mm working
Mm building
Mm hiding, encrypting
Discovering, embrace the unknown
While sleeping our foundations grow
Closer
Closer, the beams are like my bones
Closer, the muscles in my soul
Closer
Closer, the very same
Closer, the cathedral frame
Closer
Bones and muscles stay up with walls
The beams are like the bones in my soul
Mm working
Mm building
Mm hiding, encrypting
Discovering, embrace the unknown
While sleeping our foundations grow
Made to search and wandering
Where walls want to be touched by skin
By looking up, leaving-us-in-awe begins
While we disappear
Peaceful, in our city in the city of cathedrals
In our city, in the city, in our city, in the city of cathedrals
In our city of, in the city of cathedrals.
We will
Closer.

The new era of STÄSJ is defined by ever-expanding beats, poetic lyrics, and sensitive ephemeral vocals. STÄSJ is a flowing river in this landscape, at times meandering, at times cascading, hypnotizing us with refined voice techniques and intricate compositions. The new album is a contemporary reflection on the human condition: the endless quest for growth and need for change that define our being. ... more
