about

SYLVAINE comments on the track: "The moment when you appreciate the beauty of our human existence and what lies within it being completely transient, yet feeling overcome by sadness for the exact same reason, that is 'Mono No Aware.' Every Sylvaine record holds one song title that can't be directly translated into English, and this time I felt the melancholy and depth of the Japanese saying 'mono no aware' fit perfectly with the emotions that went into creating this record. Existing somewhere between nostalgia, a yearning for things lost and past times and a respect for the ephemeral nature of things, 'Mono No Aware' basically deals with how hard it is to accept that the only constant in our existence is change. Being one of the heaviest tracks I wrote to date, 'Mono No Aware' is filled with intensity in every way, pushing the borders of light and dark even further. This song also holds some of my favorite lyrics of the album; 'You need to fade away, so I can truly see you. Show me the meaning of being alive - Fading, I see you now.'"

lyrics

Echoing the impermanence of all
In this place so real, once lost, then gained
The same wave, repeating again
Over and over again
Our perpetual chain

To accept and let go
Harder than you'll ever know
Watching as everything changed
Nothing will ever be the same

I see your pain, hush now, don’t wane
For you are not mistaken
All the wonder
Happens to be
Just what we were
Sent here to feel

Vast memories to touch
A bittersweet air whispers
This worldly existence too much
Feeling the certitude fissure
All tangible to wither

You need to fade away
So I can truly see you
Show me the meaning
Of being alive

Nothing lasts forever
That's the beauty of it all
We give, we take
We love, we break
Too hard to recognize
The sweet, cruel pace of life

Watch you fade
Once here
See you now
Almost gone

Fading, I
See you now

Sylvaine image

Sylvaine Oslo, Norway

Ambient, “wall-of-sound” landscapes, with a focus on melodic atmospheres, yet with a solid groove. The music and lyrics inspired by life as a being facing inner conflict and turmoil, haunted by numerous emotions that never will be laid to rest. Sylvaine is my outlet for all this and is a way of processing every aspect of this earthly life. ... more
