Jag lever när jag är med dig. När jag är ensam är allting tyst. Och tystnaden den skrämmer mig. I tystnaden försvinner jag.
Vi föds ensamma, vi lever ensamma, vi dör ensamma. Bara genom vår kärlek och vänskap kan vi skapa oss en illusion om att vi inte är ensamma.
Ge mig illusionen, det är allt jag vill ha.
Du är illusionen, det är allt jag vill ha.
Alla stunder vi går miste om, på olika håll. Alla dagar som passerar, på olika håll. Ögonblick som förlorar sin mening, på olika håll. Det är inte så jag vill leva, på olika håll.
Jag skulle ge dig allt. Min morgon, min dag, min kväll, min natt.
Jag skulle ge dig allt. Min vår, min sommar, min vinter, min höst.
Om du vill ha det, är jag din. Om du vill ha mig, är jag din.
Du tar fram det bästa hos mig. Den person jag vill vara. Och ensamheten försvinner.

The illusion of us
I am alive when I am with you. When I am alone, everything is silent. And the silence scares me. In silence, I disappear.
‘We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.’
Give me the illusion, it’s all that I want
You are the illusion, it’s all that I want
All the moments that never happened, since we’ve been apart. All the days which have passed, since we’ve been apart. Moments which lose their meaning, since we’ve been apart. It’s not how I want to live, being apart.
I would give you everything. My morning, my day, my evening, my night.
I would give you everything. My spring, my summer, my winter, my fall.
If you want it, I am yours. If you want me, I am yours.
You bring out the best in me. The person who I want to be. And loneliness disappears.

This album is haunting, beautiful, and cathartic. One of the best post-black metal albums out there. I bought a cd on Discogs, but needed the vinyl. Доберман Сатз

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
