The First Time

There are encounters after which the world seems to spin at a different angle - brighter, louder, with no possibility of returning to the previous rhythm. Everything becomes an overdose: feelings, breathing, even the light of the street lamps. And no matter how many countries, nights and attempts to ‘feel again’ there are afterwards, everything fades away next to that very moment when it first became truly alive.

The song sounds like an echo of a memory that still tickles the nervous system. It's not about love - it's about dependence on a feeling that is higher than any chemistry or revelation. A little tragic, a little beautiful: when everything has burned down, but the memory still glows, like a spark that still won't go out.
