about

6. Periscope Down
It’s one of those moods, and for some, an lifestyle. You seem to realize that the world is going mad, and so many hassles and headaches are taking place which are not conducive for anybody. You realize it sometimes better to be a recluse for a while and wait until the heat is gone. Other “Spinoza-like” people might even choose to let go of society and its narrow-minded conventions, preferring to dedicate their lives to developing new ideas and philosophies. These might eventually be accepted as valuable. Usually in the far future, long after they’re dead and buried.

lyrics

Dug in a hole, by myself, lying in the deep
Friction and pain, all in vain are all yours to keep
Enjoying the bliss, living in peace as your lives keep aching on
See you when you’re done and I’m on

Running around, panic on as your road gets steep
Keep where you’re at, don’t come near as I try to sleep
I’ve seen it all, sailed through your seas
And it’s time to drift away, far from any fleet and that heat

Once in a while I raise my head
Maybe you’re still not dead

Crawling back into myself and my world within
Proud to be yellow and hide in my submarine
Dug in my bliss away from your cause and your constant war for peace
In my mind the world is at ease

Once in a while I raise my eyes
Wondering when you’ll drown
Once in a while, I get up
Take a look around, see what can’t be found
And I go back down

I’ve seen it all, sailed through your seas and I learned to stay away
Call when you’ve got something to say

Once in a while, open your eyes
Once in a while, see through the lies,
Take a look indeed, ask yourself if that’s what you need

Modest Midget Amsterdam, Netherlands

Starting as composer Lionel (Lonny) Ziblat's idea Modest Midget combines his love for Rock with his passion to classical music, theatre, film music and different folklore styles.
With this virtual band in mind he recorded an album which ended up growing into a real life band, a group of fine musicians that manage to bring this slightly weird sounding music to life in the form of a rock show. ... more
