about

This song explores the feelings of a paranoid islander caught up in an 'invasion' of unfamiliar voices. Saki is the voice of 'otherness' singing of reassurance, her beautiful, murmuring lines offering friendship and warmth.
Eventually it dawns on the fearful islander that his isolation is being 'talked to' and the possibility of communication is tantalisingly close.

lyrics

Voices

What are these voices? What are these voices? Talking to me

Strangers’ voices strangers’ voices talking to me

“TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED” they’re talking to me

And the smell of my fear will let all the witches know that I’m here

Alone and frightened and their familiars with the faces of children

Will be looking at me

Whispering voices outside my walls talking to me

What are these voices? Talking to me

Got to get to the root of this terror stalking me

Strangers’ voices talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me
