Old Ways for New Days

CHECK YOUR COAT

Cyanie Spark offers the ultimate luxury on this track: a place to put down the weight of survival. It’s an invitation to anonymity in a world that’s always watching, delivered with a weary, velvet grace that feels like a heavy blanket for the soul.

The Small Glass Theory

Cyanie opens with a bit of practical wasteland wisdom—worries are simply too big for the glassware in her corner of Sector 8. She recognizes the “walk” of a survivor, that tentative, bracing step of someone waiting for the floor to give way. Instead of offering a hand up, she offers a seat, acknowledging that everyone in the bunker has already mastered the art of falling.

A Zero-Test Zone

The imagery of the “lapel” and the “thin fabric” touches on the quiet desperation of trying to maintain appearances when the world is crumbling. Cyanie’s space is a sanctuary where the “shadows don’t ask for a reason.” In a landscape dominated by scans and status reports, her music creates a rare “zero-test” environment where you can finally unbind your spirit because, quite frankly, there is nowhere better to go.


CHECK YOUR COAT

by: Cyanie Spark

Leave your worries by the umbrella stand There’s no room for them in a glass this small You walk like the floor might give way any minute But honey, we’ve all learned how to fall.

I saw the way you adjusted your lapel Trying to hide where the fabric’s gone thin You’ve got a look that says you’ve been through it And you’re wondering if they’ll let you back in.

It’s heavy, isn’t it? The way the world hangs On a pair of shoulders that just want to rest But in here, the shadows don’t ask for a reason And nobody’s putting your heart to the test.

So sit for a while and unbind your spirit The door’s staying shut and the piano is low Just check your coat and the life you were leading You’ve got nowhere better to go.
