about

This is a track inspired by the film Kisapmata (english title In The Blink Of An Eye). The film, based on a true crime, concerns a Filipino family ruled by the tyrannical father whose tight grip on his daughter results in tragedy. The song is from the point of view of the headstrong daughter who is an only child. She spends the film falling in love, getting pregnant and telling her family about it. In the film, she, along with her fiance and mother, is murdered by her father who kills himself as well. There is a real sense of foreboding in the film, especially her character's dream sequences, a mood that's majestic at times and I wanted to capture that.

lyrics

push or pull
follow or rule
the game stays
the same name
swim or drown
smile or frown
you just pass
the blame

we can never go back to the past
but nothing will ever stop us
it all came by so fast
no reason to play catch up
wounds turn to scars
no way for an easy wrap
suns are just stars

in the blink of an eye
i just realized
that everything is over
in the blink of an eye
everyday just passed us by
and it's over
in the blink of an eye
i just saw that i
handled it the wrong way
in the blink of an eye
i just let it go
i had nothing to hold
in the blink of an eye
i just heard the lie
and it toppled me over
and over
in the blink of an eye
i knew that i've
lied to you
i told you that things
will be just all right
but now it's over
now it's over
now it's over
and over
