Cirene is a song about inertia, and living through habit rather than through real feelings.
lyrics
Chirping, mistaking the moon for the sun
Into the cold night your beaks will go numb
Are you confused? Are you a bit scared?
Are you surprised that the warm light's not there?
Why would you listen to your fellow speak
Speak to the moon and follow their lead?
Fruits grow dark red in the land in the dark
All that is said is just one little spark
Your chirping, unheard, wanes into the fog
Your voices, alone, bang onto the walls
The cries, they sound happy for they can't be sad
But deep in the moonlight they cry and they're mad
The trees they look endless, and so does this night
This bird sings so lonely and dies with the light
The woods in the bright light look so cold and deep
The moon in the morning speaks just to itself
