I'm in command,
I'm in control,
I am the captain of my soul.
Still, I'm uncertain in one major role...
Oh, I drift through the unconscious life,
Shift through the unconscious life,
Lift up my unconscious eyes:
Beyond all normal pain and pleasure
We should treasure the unconscious life.
We've got our reasons for most things we do,
We could surely rationalise them through.
A false ring of confidence
Would characterise us true -
Oh, we're deep in the unconscious life
Asleep in the unconscious life,
Peeping through unconscious eyes.
Beyond all normal pain and pleasure
We should treasure,
Treasure the unconscious,
Treasure the unconscious life.
Something makes me nervous,
Something makes me twitch,
Something makes me scratch that Pavlovian itch,
(Wonder what that is now...?)
Someone that I barely know must unpick the stitch
To unravel the unconscious life,
Travel the unconscious life,
Gather the unconscious eye...
Far from shedding light on any motive
The candle is votive when it burns at both ends.
I'm not in command,
I'm out of control,
I am the Ship's Boy of my soul....
Oh, we drift through the unconscious life,
Shift through the unconscious life,
Live through the unconscious life
Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill (born August 19, 1948) is a British singer-songwriter, keyboardist, and multi-instrumentalist, best known for being the frontman of Van der Graaf Generator and his prolific solo career. Hammill began playing music at the age of seven, influenced by artists like Bob Dylan and The Beatles. In 1967 he formed Van der Graaf Generator, a progressive rock band that achieved great success in the 1970s with albums such as "Pawn Hearts" (1972) and "Godbluff" (1970). Hammill is known for his unique, powerful, and theatrical vocal style, often accompanied by complex and introspective lyrics. After the first dissolution of Van der Graaf Generator in 1978, Hammill continued to record music under his own name, releasing over 30 albums throughout his career. Some of his most representative tracks include "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (1973), "Man-Erg" (1976) and "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage" (1982). His music is characterized by a dark, melodic, and often experimental atmosphere, with influences ranging from progressive rock to jazz fusion. Hammill has collaborated with numerous artists, including David Sylvian and Robert Fripp.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
