The Sleeping Old Man【Eng】
This ethereal song weaves ambient electronic textures, gentle reverb-soaked piano, and soft orchestral swells. Harp-like tones and lush pads evoke drifting underwater and soaring aloft. Airy vocals with haunting harmonies and echoing “la la la” glide atop subtle, wave-like pulsing rhythms. The cyclical structure flows seamlessly, endlessly swirling, fading into delicate echoes that suspend the listener in a tranquil dreamscape.

Lyrics
[Intro,Interlude]
La la la... La la la...
[Verse]
In the sea of dreams, far below the waking world,
Shifting sight in a city of water.
[Pre-Chorus]
He hears the song of the departed mermaid,
Guided by its song, and gently guiding it in return.
[Interlude]
La la la... La la la...
[Verse]
In the sky of dreams, far above the waking world,
Beyond the walls, a castle of wind.
[Pre-Chorus]
He hears the song of the departed mermaid,
Guided by its song, and gently guiding it in return.
[Chorus1]
The old man sleeps, sinking deeper still,
Soaked through, a quiet smile on his lips.
Each night he sleeps, flying without wings,
Repeating the song in his weathered voice.
[Interlude]
La la la... La la la...
[Pre-Chorus]
He hears the song of the departed mermaid,
Guided by it, carried wherever it leads—Ah…
[Chorus1]
The old man sleeps, diving into the deep,
Days reversed and turning, forever dancing in the dark.
Each night he sleeps, sinking without wings,
Repeating the song in his fading voice.
[Break]
[Chorus2]
The old man sleeps, descending ever more,
Days in endless turning, wandering without end.
Each night he sleeps, flying without wings,
Repeating the song in his weathered voice.
[Outro]
Tonight as well, he falls asleep—
La la la… La la la…
La la la... La la la...
[Verse]
In the sea of dreams, far below the waking world,
Shifting sight in a city of water.
[Pre-Chorus]
He hears the song of the departed mermaid,
Guided by its song, and gently guiding it in return.
[Interlude]
La la la... La la la...
[Verse]
In the sky of dreams, far above the waking world,
Beyond the walls, a castle of wind.
[Pre-Chorus]
He hears the song of the departed mermaid,
Guided by its song, and gently guiding it in return.
[Chorus1]
The old man sleeps, sinking deeper still,
Soaked through, a quiet smile on his lips.
Each night he sleeps, flying without wings,
Repeating the song in his weathered voice.
[Interlude]
La la la... La la la...
[Pre-Chorus]
He hears the song of the departed mermaid,
Guided by it, carried wherever it leads—Ah…
[Chorus1]
The old man sleeps, diving into the deep,
Days reversed and turning, forever dancing in the dark.
Each night he sleeps, sinking without wings,
Repeating the song in his fading voice.
[Break]
[Chorus2]
The old man sleeps, descending ever more,
Days in endless turning, wandering without end.
Each night he sleeps, flying without wings,
Repeating the song in his weathered voice.
[Outro]
Tonight as well, he falls asleep—
La la la… La la la…
