Description
The track sounds like a strange dream where time is stuck and cannot decide whether to fly by in an instant or stretch out into eternity. There seems to be light, but there is always a shadow nearby, as if the picture is incomplete and the “evil eye” is hiding inside it - a gaze that gives you goosebumps and curiosity.
The music pulls you in, then tosses you up, promising a journey somewhere “down the drive,” where you can fall asleep, jump into the water, and get lost in your own thoughts.
A feeling of slight anxiety mixes with warmth, creating a paradoxical state: lonely and cozy at the same time. It's like an evening when everything has already been said, but you want to remain silent even more.

Original
0:13
If it's a moment in time,
0:16
how come it be so long? And if it's a
0:20
moment in time, you paid it for. How
0:23
could it really be so wrong? How could
0:26
it really be so wrong?
0:32
Now what can you do? You got it all
0:39
shadow.
0:40
You got it all
0:44
the shadow.
1:00
If you look real close at the fall,
1:06
you will see
1:09
that evil eye
1:13
deep inside the picture. You might even
1:18
catch the evil eye.
1:22
I'm looking at you.
1:24
Looking at you
1:29
and looking at you got it all.
1:40
But you know what?
1:44
So lonely.
1:50
So lonely
1:56
just to hear me now down in the drive.
2:00
Come on down and get on in
2:04
where we going to go.
2:06
Where are you going to sleep or swim?
2:11
All right, mister. Where you want to go
2:13
today?
2:15
I'm down on the drive. Come on, get in.
2:19
Where you want to go?
2:25
Day
2:30
going to be lonely.
2:34
I know.
2:44
Heat. Heat.
