Maelstrom

from Lighthouse by Zanda Myrande

/

about

This may be the most modern-jazzy track I've ever recorded. In which the album's entire life flashes in front of its eyes. Ears? Um.

lyrics

MAELSTROM

Down into the ringing green
Over and over turning
Lungs and eyes are burning
How did I get here?
Sodden clothing weighs me down
Darkness clings about me
Have they gone without me
How did I get here?
Fight my way towards the surface
Holding on to breath
Is that light above me
Light of day or light of death?
CHORUS
I'm in the maelstrom,
Whirled about by winds of water
And I hope that I'm alone.
I'm in the maelstrom,
Gaping maw of hungry darkness
Nature taking back her own.

Vision blurred and turning red
Numbness and cold are spreading,
Mind is a needle unthreading,
How do I get out?
Memories flash before my eyes
Won't submit to decoding,
Heart feels like it's exploding,
How do I get out?
Now the light has died away
Was it really there before?
Am I really who I am?
Does it matter any more?
CHORUS

[Instrumental]

Breaking out into the blue
Air on my face caressing
Breath a forgotten blessing
How did I get here?
No idea where I am
No sign of land around me
Certain that something found me
And helped me get here...
Terror fading like a dream
As my mind resumes its sway
Danger still is very real
But I lived to see the day
CHORUS
I came through the maelstrom.
Whirled about by winds of water
And alive to tell the tale.
I came through the maelstrom,
I survived its hungry darkness
And I think I see a sail...

Zanda Myrande is still recovering from the trauma of being Zander Nyrond for several decades. She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.
