about
SNS Sensation's new single, “Same River Twice" is about how a relationship can embody the metaphysical questions of change and permanence.
From physical and emotional distance to imprecise memories and fading lights, the song references Heraclitus' question around stepping on the same river twice. Parmenides is also quoted in the search for answers on life and love, but in the end there is only perplexity and loss.
“Same River Twice” is a somewhat more modern and baroque affair than previous releases, continuing to develop SNS Sensation's highly individual sound and approach to the song, grounded in synthpop.
lyrics
SAME RIVER TWICE
Fire in the sky
A frozen wind
We never left this place
went through the gears
With every word I say you’re moving farther
What has become of you?
With every glance the room is getting darker
What has become of youth?
The same, my dear
As every year
The same, my dear
As every year
Ever-living fire
Extinguished now
Still you fan the flames
in frozen skies
Remembering, you get lost in the garden
Burning your golden years
With every dream perplexity takes over
Blurring your young affairs
The same, my dear
As every year
The same, my dear
As every year
Same river twice
Same river twice
It might be all one to us where we started
For we shall come back here
The same, my dear
As every year
Same river twice, same river twice
Same river twice, same river twice
Twice
Remembering, you get lost in the garden..
