From the recording Forbidden Songs
Blemished
Some scars are invisible. Others quietly reshape everything that follows.
Blemished explores the quiet marks left behind by time, memory and human connection. Built around hypnotic bass lines, restrained guitars and a slowly evolving atmosphere, the song avoids dramatic gestures, allowing repetition and subtle tension to reveal emotions that words alone cannot express.
Rather than focusing on obvious wounds, Blemished reflects on the small imperfections that gradually become part of who we are, memories that refuse to disappear, fractured moments that continue to echo long after they have passed. The lyrics remain intentionally open, inviting each listener to recognize their own experiences within the spaces between the lines.
As part of Forbidden Songs, Blemished embraces the album's minimalist and fragmented language, where silence carries weight, repetition becomes transformation, and beauty is found not in perfection, but in the traces left behind.
Lyrics
The photograph remains
The face does not
The wall remains
The colour does not
The frame remains
The glass is cracked
The mark remains
The mark comes back
Blemished
Not broken
Blemished
Still here
Time settles
Into everything
The record turns
The needle jumps
The room changes
The room returns
The hand forgets
The surface knows
The years pass through
The damage shows
Blemished
Not broken
Blemished
Still here
Time settles
Into everything
Nothing disappears
It changes shape
Nothing disappears
It changes weight
Nothing disappears
It waits
The stain remains
The crack remains
The shadow remains
The name remains
The years arrive
The years depart
The mark remains
Inside the mark
Blemished
Not broken
Blemished
Still here
Time settles
Into everything
Time settles
Into everything
The mark remains
The mark remains
The mark remains
The mark remains
