Paradisio 04:17
lyrics

When you’re living your life in the fast lane You forget to look in the past Family portrait in white and black Painted color on their faces Please try not to shed so many tears Your make-up is already melting I cannot tell if i’m fine Anytime at the end of the line So I give a kiss to all the loved ones Before I vanish in the moonlight Only then I’ll feel alright The style has nothing to do about it I cried it’s why I wear sunglasses The night is old almost dying I’ll be gone when the sun rises Walking without motion All along the infinite beach Take me away from exposure And i dive deep in the ocean Breath holding i’m drowning Dry my tears and i’m gone Went away in a wave Bathing in light I spend the night Over the reef No goal to reach Tellin me lies Say that I’m fine Finding a reason why i gotta leave I took off the isle in a black plane Green of the valley was dark gray So was the sea and the sand What a perfect view for an end Street lamps were drawing a light belt It made me fall into silence No turning back it’s too late Like i tattooed it on my flesh

Perfect Heaven 03:21
lyrics

What is this place ? Is it me or is it beautiful? Colors and flavors  That I’ve never ever tasted before. What is this place ? Is it me or is it beautiful? Look at my face, I’m just smiling for no reason And I’m loving it. Hmm no, I don’t wanna go back, I don’t wanna go back to the future Hmm no, I don’t wanna go back, Can I stay for a night just to be sure Can’t you see the stars ? They’ll be waiting for you.. Can’t we leave our scars behind us? The storm that warned us Makes me wonder.. Can you see the stars ? They shine and rise like you do This is the perfect heaven But all I needed was you.  What is this place ? Is it me or is it beautiful? Seems to be fake Cause I’m feeling too much insecure What is this place ? Is it me or is there something wrong Look at my face, I’m just smiling for no reason And I don’t get it. No, I will never go back, I will never go back to the future Hmm no, I will never go back, I will never go back… Can't you see the stars ? They’ll be waiting for you Can’t we leave our scars behind us? The storm that warned us Makes me wonder.. Can you see the stars ? They shine and rise like you do This is the perfect heaven. But all I needed was you Can't you see the stars ? They’ll be waiting for you Can’t we leave our scars behind us? The storm that warned us Makes me wonder.. Can you see the stars ? They shine and rise like you do This is the perfect heaven. But all I needed was you All I needed..All I needed.. All I needed..All I needed.. All I needed..All I needed.. All I needed was you All I needed..All I needed.. All I needed..All I needed.. All I needed..All I needed.. All I needed was you

Inspire, expire Mes tempes des tambours Inspire, expire Spasmes le long de la colonne Inspire, expire     Recrache la lumière Inspire, expire L’air de la colère Au bord de la rage Mon coeur battait hors de sa cage Des centaines de mouches Sortent de ma bouche Une flaque d’essence sur la route Une cendre incandescente tombait Pendant que les fous eux rigolaient Le soleil lui, nous immolait Et les ombres nous ignoraient L’espace et le temps s’évaporent C’est le why, la pagaille L’attirail est défaillant Où que j’aille rien qui m’aille Faut que je me taille à Hawaii  Je suis high même sans bail  Mon coeur qui s’emballe Comme un train qui déraille Ici ou ailleurs rien est sans faille L’ambulance pleure Ses pneus crissent Pour moi il est l’heure Je m’enlise  Une tumeur maligne D’humeur câline Le diable lèche ses babines Du sang sur les canines Au bord de la rage Mon coeur battait hors de sa cage

Dive Into 00:37

Can you tell me if what I see is real ? Did I make it up again ? Is it only in my head ? I’m diving, diving into the sky… Now the ceiling is below, Can you show me around ?

That Boom 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I know it's too late But it's too early to go. Can you come on and turn back time? I've been riding, still I'm not ready to roll. Now is belated, the past is fading, future can wait for a while. 
Everybody prayed when they heard that boom : "Don't make me go that soon." Caught up in a swirl I swayed, Heard what the wind was saying. Couldn't get a word but sounds Knocking on my eardrums loud Hanging between the clouds Just waiting for my time… I'm colliding with the sky  Gliding with the stars I don't understand, no Why am I in heaven ? Has my blood run cold? Have I lost control? Heard a detonation Then a deflagration Feel the warm wind all over me Like a child I cry to mommy Cause the bells are tolling In the light I'm stalling The hand pressed on the other Rain, my holy water Praying but nobody answers  Nobody cares… Just waiting for my time… The doubt is coming by. All’ so blurry and so clear at the same time. Am I feeling right ? All the things I’ve seen  are on repeat in my head. A blessing in disguise, Worries have been sleeping  for too long... Everything is fine, I can see you smiling While I’m waiting for the end.

Flames Above 04:03
lyrics

Every soul I met ‘til here, Everything I used to be…  All of my feelings are merging here : A point where peace is kissing me. And I see the light from the window. I can feel the warmth and I want to go through. Cause in the dark, I’m useless; There’s a place for me somewhere else. Yes I failed but I can change. I’m wrong inside, but looking for love. In my chest, there’s something burning, something burning... How could I know ? If there’s a place for me… If there’s a place for me… I believed there was nothing but the sun. Yes, it is. There’s so much more behind. What a relief (now that I crossed the lower clouds). My skin disappeared (with my fears and my doubts). Is there a place for me ? Is there a place for me ? Yes I failed but I can change, I’m wrong inside but looking for love. In my chest, there’s something burning, something burning… How could I know  Yes I failed but did my best to Understand what made me weaker. The little flames above my head are  so much pleasant Now that I know. There’s a place for me… There’s a place for me…

about

Ataheva means in Tahitian: the dream or cloud (ata) of mourning (heva). Name we have given to this EP as well as to an imaginary ritual from the mythology of 15 15, which recalls the Polynesian funeral rite known as Heva Tupapa'u (weeping for the corpse); a ceremony in which a member of the family of the deceased put on a very singular costume, that of the mourner or chief mourner (heva). This imposing costume covering the whole body of the person produced an effect of magnificence but at the same time evoked fear and horror. The costumed man would then begin his sad funeral ballad waving the tete (oyster shell castanets) in his hand to announce his arrival; in his wake the Nevaneva (those who gesticulate frantically) accompanied him in his macabre dance. The sound of his head and the approach of his characters terrified the community, which did not hesitate to flee from them or to hide. They would then take the lives of the unfortunate people who were in their path so that they could accompany them in their mourning.
In our mythology Ataheva is represented by a swarm of flies, the cloud of mourning, the one that flies over and lands on the decomposing bodies weaving the funeral dress. It is the first observer and the last companion of the passage to death.
Through this project we position the listener in the same way, placed in the front row to observe this change of state, this in-between time at the border between life and death. The narrators of each track tell different visions of death: physical death, death of the soul or symbolic death. In this EP death is not only portrayed as a negative event, but also as an integral part of life, for example, on Vanavana (humming) death whispers a reassuring lullaby in the ears of both the newly born and the dying, in transit between two states.
