lyrics

VERSE 1: Hop-Leo: shall I compare you to a autumn night? // the cool brisk breeze following twilight // the dark depth of your eyes like the evening sky // rain falling with the leaves when I made you cry // the planets wander in their mystery // underneath the heavens you were once with me // oh how I long for that summer day // but I stole your heart so this price I pay // CHORUS 1 (x2): Hopanova: as the Sun sets // and the Day dies // I see the Moon and the Stars in your bright eyes // VERSE 2: Hop-Leo: STANZA 1: hello to Darkness, goodbye to Sunshine // the sun sets since Apollo slumbers soon // night’s abyss spreads in that worn heart of mine // as wolves howl at the false light of the Moon // STANZA 2: sweet embrace of the Dark hides me from me // oblivion is preferred to lament // painful memories I no longer see // neither do I know nor care where they went // STANZA 3: fully submerged now, it’s harder to breathe // choked lungs pine for air; find Darkness that seethes // wondering now: did I choose the right side? // instead of conquering fears, I chose to hide // (yeah I chose to hide, instead of conquering fears I chose to hide) // COUPLET: as night turns to dawn; the suffering’s less // hello to Sunshine, goodbye to Darkness // CHORUS 2 (x4): as the Moon sets and the Night dies // I see the Sun and the Sky in your bright eyes

Hopudoshi, Hopanova, and Hop-Leo all represent different sides of my personality. Sometimes they are in harmony and sometimes they are in conflict. The differences between them are the reason for some of my ambivalent feelings towards certain issues. ... more
