From the recording Forbidden Songs
None of Us
Sometimes the greatest distance exists between people who once believed they understood each other.
None of Us explores the quiet unraveling of connection, where familiar voices fade into echoes and certainty is replaced by silence. Built around hypnotic bass lines, restrained guitars and slowly unfolding textures, the song embraces repetition and emotional restraint, allowing atmosphere to reveal what words cannot.
Rather than assigning blame or searching for answers, None of Us reflects on the fragile spaces between memory, identity and misunderstanding. Fragments of conversations, unfinished thoughts and fading emotions drift through the song, leaving the listener to assemble their own meaning from what remains unsaid.
As part of Forbidden Songs, None of Us embodies the album's minimalist and fragmented approach to storytelling, where absence becomes presence, repetition becomes reflection, and every silence carries its own emotional weight. It is a meditation on disconnection, reminding us that sometimes the things that separate us are the very things we struggle most to name.
Lyrics
The last light fades above the rail
Strangers drift away
A paper rolls across the track
At the end of another day
The windows close one after one
The city folds itself away
The things we thought would always stay
Grow smaller every day
We are not the ones who know
Where the missing hours go
We are not the ones who learn
Why the silence won't return
We have lost the words we knew
When everything felt clear and true
Now meaning slips beyond our sight
And waits somewhere beyond recall
The photographs have lost their names
But somehow still remain
Like empty rooms we pass too often
Trying not to look again
The years arrive without a sound
They move the pieces all around
And when the morning comes again
There's something less than there has been
We are not the ones who know
Where the missing hours go
We are not the ones who learn
Why the silence won't return
We have lost the words we knew
When everything felt clear and true
Now meaning slips beyond our sight
And waits somewhere beyond recall
None of us know where it went
None of us know
