about

The title refers to a type of Fairy Tale in Czech cinema, and musically is inspired by soundtracks to some early Czech films around in the early 70's, films such as: Valerie and Her Week of Wonder (Jaromil Jireš), Daises (Věra Chytilová) and The Cremator (Juraj Herz).

lyrics

The headlines are read out in a hallway of mirrors
But it's clear now to see, you before me
Each corner is turned, there's no illusion
As to whose angle is whose
A change of direction
A turn of hand
The same direction
Turn the hand- It's the same direction

In arms is where we rest our head

After I raised my concern my voice got drowned out
By a tyrant reciting a holy violent text
And suddenly I get a bit tired
After the dozenth fairy tale, oh to soften the blow, oh
Looking up at the hill while going down one
I tell myself one tower is awake, the other asleep

In arms is where we rest our head
