lyrics
Sewn to the season
A cloth for the autumn
And worn in your wisdom and rage
Held for a moment
It falls on her figure
A turn for the reverent page
Over and over she wades to the water
And into the ocean she fades
Time is a ribbon that twists in her fingers
And binds to the plans that you made
She is the river
And she is the magus
And I am afraid of the sign
She has demanded
A love so contagious
That all I can do is decline
Over and over I wade to the water
And into the ocean I fade
Time is a ribbon that curls round her body
And curls round my body the same
A cloth for the autumn
And worn in your wisdom and rage
Held for a moment
It falls on her figure
A turn for the reverent page
Over and over she wades to the water
And into the ocean she fades
Time is a ribbon that twists in her fingers
And binds to the plans that you made
She is the river
And she is the magus
And I am afraid of the sign
She has demanded
A love so contagious
That all I can do is decline
Over and over I wade to the water
And into the ocean I fade
Time is a ribbon that curls round her body
And curls round my body the same

One Frame Per Second
by Uniform Motionsupported by 4 fans who also own “Magus”
I don't remember how I found out about this band, but this was their first album I listened to (while I was living alone far away from my birth country). Its concept, artwork, music, lyrics, story.. fit magically perfectly into a synesthetic mood. It makes me think about a bright version of the videogame Braid. I would listen almost every night during my first month away from home and feel cuddled and loved to the point of bringing tears to my eyes. I can't describe how much I love this album
