	Story Behind the Song The lyrics were sketched out in the spring of 1999 and the music was written right after it. Although, certain themes changed radically during the following year -at first this was supposed to be a kind of journey to the insides of soul. But when it all began to taste bitter enough, it turned into an apology of kind. A warning sign in the strictest Tarkovskian sense. The song's about a room without a view. Or about the really deep and breath-taking feelings one gets to know when he sets out to fall into the limitless spaces within, seeking for higher truths or divinely inspired love. Or it could also be about bitter-looking men having a cup of coffee around a trapezoid-shaped table, with one of them being a German philosopher from the 19th century, other a bald, evil-looking American who's boasting with his magical abilities, and last one a suffering Grail king taken straight from Wagner's Opera -telling the other two to put cream in their coffee. Lyrics "To Bliss whenever quiet / It's a slow move / Lying on the bed / But many have done it before / With heavens of archaic fathers / Towards a terrible spire / That's why I'm still eager to have cream and jewelry in tongues" Dedicated to Friedrich Hölderlin and his last forty years of playing piano in complete alienation from human ties.
