about

This song is inspired by my first experience with anesthetic sleep on May 6th 2021. (English version)

lyrics

Don't you fear now
you're in a safe place
nothing will hurt you
here

There were the blue masks
and trickling square waves
hovering white lights
before you drowned
before you drowned
before you drowned

this is sweet nothingness
this is sweet nothingness

Soon they'll be leaving
your thoughts and your senses
memories and hope

Let go of your pain
your life goals and worries
they're all losing weight
and bound to fade
bound to fade
bound to fade

this is sweet nothingness
this is sweet nothingness

(now safely go to sleep
we'll be here to keep
an eye on you until
all is over)
