Film Midnight Blue: voice-over of lyrics

Poem & film by David Myriam

Deep in the blue of the night

I stare at this suspended world

Between two worlds

I listen to the slightest sound

The slightest drop

When glass prisons

Carry away our brothers

Helpless and naked

Up above

Toward the unknown sky

I add my tears

To the large salt bath

Up above, in the dry air

I hear silent agonies

I imagine strange rituals

I feel deaf machines

Huge and fragile

Weighed down with new threats

I breath, I breath in vain

The waves come in series

They strike out

Crack walls

Scatter their insides

And even hell burns up underwater


2013 :: Midnight Blue :: Tsunami & Nuclear disaster

And yet,

And yet everything continues unabated

Concrete overtakes the water

Fumes drown out the sun

Crowds gather along the shores

Spread out and brimming with mirages

Slowly

Steel citadels swim over our heads

Slowly

Like ticking time bombs

between two floods,

The fog is my shelter

I disappear into its folds

The world is reborn in soft waves

As the sky and sea merge


2013 :: Midnight Blue :: Sand drawing film

Here they settle in the heart of our lives

With their floating factories

They pierce deep into the night

To inject their explosion drugs

Trying too hard to conquer the moon

Ghosts are deaf to our cries

But the fire rises up to their throats

Burning their insatiable palaces

Darkening sky and space

The ash flies and sinks

Our depths turn into dead dunes

and lagoons become common graves

Everywhere

Everywhere he must flee,

He must escape the sticky sludge

Poisons and cages

Even avoiding the tides

Where all of the sewer surges back

Lost in their element

Our bodies are washed up in masses

Burnt by the setting sun

The sea sinks

And the depths freeze over

The depths roar in anger

The wind moans and writhes

Salt clings and eats away

Yet the creature is still at the helm

Set in the wrong direction

Straight to the edge of the world

Eyes too often closed

And the pack gets reduced

To sail further on

Perhaps to float with the stars?

Or to be reborn in other waters?

I then dive once again

Away from machine and fuel vapors

At the bottom of a vast ocean

There is still space

For the birth of other currents
