about

Invitation is a groovy, emotive contemplation which brings together gnawing unease and content serenity to portray solitude. The time alone rouses feelings of boredom, meaninglessness and abandonment, but can also serve as vehicle for inspiration and reflection.

The song is yet another step on our auditive journey with Joel Linfors as his mix brought it to its full potential. Mastering punch and clarity was once again made sure by Ermin Hamidovic.

lyrics

Those bright colours of this place long are gone yet here I stay
Graying walls as my display
That's where my memories replay, bygone sounds and their decay
A sonar guiding me through these days

I've traced a thousand trails on the ceiling
From corner to corner, from the dawn to the light of the moon
I wonder if I'll be getting out of this place soon
I am afraid I've drifted too far into the blue

A stride this way might go astray
But please hear me while I still stay

You have been and always will be invited to the deep
Still I fear that once you’re here they’ll never let you stay
I hope you know the way
By the waters turning gray

Can you be an actual entity without having any identity
Tides carrying me steadily straight to the eye of the fury
The distance is our enemy, in the trench of dying empathy
I’ve been swimming aimlessly to get out of this entropy

I guess I’ve found beauty in isolation
Stillness disguised itself as salvation

You have been and always will be invited to the deep
Still I fear that once you’re here they’ll never let you stay
I hope you know the way
By the waters turning gray

How did I lose myself inside these walls
How can I find the way out when there’s only one door
If I try to run I’ll just sink through the floor
This dive has been deep but now I see the shore

The way here might be dark

You have been and always will be invited to the deep
Still I fear that once you’re here they’ll never let you stay
I hope you know the way
By the waters turning gray
