Mount Qaf

Mount Qaf is the mountain from the old stories, the one nobody reaches. Here it stands for a time you can't go back to. The first single, 2026.

Those days are as distant
as the words of Homer,
yet as close
as the pencil in my hand.

A desk by a window, a sheet of paper, a pencil, a grey eraser
A desk by a window. Nobody has sat down yet.
Her hand picking up a grey eraser
I miss using an eraser.
Eraser crumbs on paper
To erase what I wrote with my own hands.
Emma seen from behind at a window
Not on a screen.
A phone lighting up on a desk at dusk
Show me Mount Qaf, in my dreams.

Lyrics

Everything is changing
Even change is changing
Life keeps moving
And I can't hold it

I keep looking for the old days
But I can't find them
Those days when all we had
Was each other

Show me Mount Qaf
In my dreams
Show me Mount Qaf
I miss those days

Show me Mount Qaf
In my dreams
They're so far away
I miss those days

Those days are as distant
As the words of Homer
Yet as close
As the pencil in my hand

I miss using an eraser
To erase what I wrote
With my own hands
Not on a screen

Show me Mount Qaf
In my dreams
Show me Mount Qaf
I miss those days

The old days
The old days
Now they're as far from us
As Mount Qaf

They're right before our eyes
But we can never hold them
Like the dreams we only see
When we close our eyes

But I know there's a place
Where people still look into each other's eyes

I know there's a place
Where people still hear
The person by their side

I know there's a place
I know there's a place

Show me Mount Qaf
In my dreams

I miss those days
I miss those days
