Black and White — Music Is...
'"Human beings...Zipped up at the seams, pushed together creating facelessness. Bumped inside, one huge bit, tryin to find a place to sit, twisting, turning 'n' the face is yearning i tend to feed. I'd like live a lifeless leaf, everlasting taste as me, chew me up and spit me out rubbish floats in the street. Once again i'm sitting on to numbers bones, body, blood, smoke whos that i feel? Music is the place of home!"
"Look what a beautiful world"
"Wacking with the time arrive-to be hope... Unifiying inside up the inner soul.. Ripped out at the heart, covered on a place. Rayman wake up... But it's much too late... Peel at the lair's unzip your sins...Crawl out of truggles.. And be unseened."'
Black and White — Music Is...
'I fly like a lifeless leaf. Everlasting taste is me, chewing up and spit me out where it floats in the street. Once again, I succumb to numbness, bones, body, blood, smoke. Who's it I feel? Music is a place of home.'
