Alcatraz
Alchemy of Love and Chaos: Kasper Bjørke's Musical Pilgrimage
Lyrics
The difference between fact and fiction
The distinction between reality and imagination
A quest for the young and the old
A pursuit applicable to both the young and old
The power of sheer superstition
The influence of strong, irrational beliefs
That often turns dirt into gold
Beliefs that can transform something ordinary into valuable
We will end up making a baby
A prediction that a romantic relationship will lead to creating a child
We will end up losing control
An expectation of losing control in the relationship
A job for a man and a lady
Highlighting the responsibilities in a relationship
With similar spirit and soul
Emphasizing shared values and connection in a relationship
Do you think it’s true
Raising a question about the potential destructive nature of love
That our love will tear us apart
Suspecting that love may lead to separation
That i’m crazy for you
Acknowledging personal feelings of passion or obsession
But will end up breaking your heart
Awareness that intense emotions may cause heartbreak
In hope of some sort of reaction
Acting in anticipation of a response, possibly ahead of its time
I’m slightly ahead of my time
Finding satisfaction in being ahead of current trends
Because it gives me satisfaction
Claiming what is rightfully owned or deserved
I claim what is rightfully mine
Assertiveness in taking what one believes is rightfully theirs
I am in many ways a pilgrim
Describing oneself as a seeker on a journey
But my intuition has gone
Admitting a loss of intuition or instinct
In presence of ghosts and of children
Being in the company of both past experiences (ghosts) and innocence (children)
You will catch me singing a song
Expressing joy through singing, even in challenging situations
Do you think it’s true
Repeating the question about the potential destructive nature of love
That our love will tear us apart
Reiterating the fear that love may lead to separation
That i’m crazy for you
Reaffirming intense emotions despite the risk of heartbreak
But will end up breaking your heart
Recognizing the possibility of love causing emotional pain
On a trip to the moon
Describing a journey to an unreachable destination (the moon)
I wander inbetween the stars
Navigating through the vastness of possibilities
They explode like ballons
Metaphorically depicting unexpected bursts or challenges
It has been like that from the start
Stating that challenges have been present from the beginning
