about

Third single from Stellaleona's short but sweet introduction - Chokecherry.
A poetic imagining of their past lives and futures, Clepsydra is an examining of the artist's emotional and physical fragility; a celebration of the precept by which the artist tries to dedicate their life - BECAUSE NOT IN SPITE.

lyrics

At last disintegrated into the sands of time
and when I finally vitrified, iron blood and heart of lead;
I came together densely, held myself so tensely,
all the light refracting off me. Optical dispersion's exhausting.
I don't have my own light, just a frozen drop of earth.
Hollow fulgurites reaching.

I cut so easy, I shatter so cleanly, I ring high notes clearly.

All the things that make me worthwhile make me so fragile,
make me so unstable, absorbing mixed emotions like infrared radiation.
Use my blood to tell the time, steady pumping through me.
Lean closer so you can hear the Tower of the Winds whispering.

I'm the water thief stopped with wax, am I fulfilling my purpose?
Holding my breath, my tongue is the tail of the snake
- and if you bite, we can come full circle tonight.
The places we touched in midsummer,
the places we stick to each other in sleep.

All the things that make me worthwhile make me so fragile,
make me so unstable, absorbing mixed emotions like infrared radiation.
Use my blood to tell the time, steady pumping through me.
Lean closer so you can hear the Tower of the Winds whispering.
