lyrics
Eyes and Movements (目と動き)
ハワイ神話ペレからのエピソード。火山と地震の女神であるペレはカウアイ島のロヒアウにひとめ惚れして、一番下の妹のヒイアカに彼をハワイ島に連れてくる事を頼む。
ヒイアカは再生の女神でもある。ヒイアカはロヒアウに命を取り戻す儀式をおこなってから彼をハワイ島の家に連れて帰るが、ロヒアウはすでに、自分を生き返らせてくれた女神ヒイアカに愛情を抱くようになっていた。

He turns his head slowly
Towards her in the room
His eyes follow her movements
And the flow of her hair
Wordlessly telling
Through gestures of eyes
That he tries to hide
For he doesn't want to speak to her just yet

Expressively showing
What you feel without words
It travels through the air
Electric in the wind
Soon it will melt
And as the words flow, we soon see
What the story is all about
What you and I didn't see just yet

We don't know who we are
'Till we question ourselves
What you mean to me
And what it means to you
And it doesn't really matter
If the story has no ending
For somewhere it must lead to
What you and I don't see just yet

And there's something she sees
That she may relate to
The beginning of a tale
A story you don't know just yet
